hi! im just wondering about importing subtitle, it does not all appear. i mean, i checked it to subtitle creator and it has up to 626 number ( up to 51 mins) but when i import it it only appears to 130 number (it ended in 11 min).
thanks

DVD Author 3 is quite strict with .srt files. Make sure they're in ASCII or UTF-8 encoding.

You may also want to get rid of any html that might be in the srt file.

Lastly, DVD Author 3 will stop importing when it encounters an error, so since you only got to number 130, you should check your srt file and see if there is something wrong at that point.

thanks!
is there a possibility that i convert .srt file to ASCII?
and how to work with UTF-8 encoding?

You can change the encoding with a text editor. A nice one I like using is called EmEditor. You can download a free trial of it here: http://www.emeditor.com/

Once it's installed, you can open the .srt file with EmEditor, then select "Save As..." in the File menu. In the Save As window, there is a drop-down menu where you can select UTF-8 encoding.

How change audio stream mode multiple clips Or All project?

I want import karaoke to project and setting audio stream mode=bilinqual.
Karaoke have about70 clip.
Can you change audio stream mode=bilinqual all clip quickly?
Help Me Please.

I'm afraid you'll have to go through them one by one. At least, I haven't been able to change settings to multiple clips and I don't know if it's possible.

Hi,

I just purchased TMPGEnc Express 4,

It installed fine, but it always hangs when I select a source file, being it AVI or MKV, I can do nothing else than FORCING the application to close using Task Manager. I only see some DirectVobSub icon appear in the Notification area, but then nothing happens at all ?!?

Windows XP SP3. TMPGEnc XPress 4.5.1.254.

Please, what is wrong here ?

Well, it loads when I rename the .SRT file.

BUT....

I have a bigger problem, while editing (for example alligning subs) the audio & video go out of sync !


Please, every mediaplayer on my system plays them perfectly fine, but editing in TMPGEnc XPress 4.0 it goes out of sync, and I thus I cannot correctly allign the subtitles.

PLEASE ! Can someone help me ?

I have the same problem now... y just keep watching the FFDshow icon on the bar and nothing else happens... the program practically freezes... it only happens with AVI files...
what can i do?

the ordinal 3001 could not be located in the dynamic link library PX.dll

this error ocurred, help me!

Is it possible to import an .SRT file completely into DVD Author 3? If so how?
TIA
Paul

In the Source Stage, click on "edit" for the clip you want to add subtitles to.

In the Clip Editing window, select the "Subtitles" tab at the top of the window.

Activate a subtitle stream in the left-hand column (Subtitles List). This should activate the options on the lower half of the window.

Click on "Edit menu" and select "Import Subtitles". You should be able to select your .srt file from there.

great one mate !
i was looking for that one aswell and was so simple ...
in the "edit menu" button at the bottom
in plain sight and missed it totally

didnt wanna add each sub manually ... this one saves humongous time for me
tx !

I have also been trying to import a srt file in a project using the same method. But it doesn't seem to work. When I click the import subtitles button and choose a file to import, nothing happens.
Can you please help?

Hi guys, I have a question.

When creating a DVD, I only want to burn it to a disc, not output the entire file to my hard drive. Is there any way to do this?

Thanks,
Mike

Sorry, this isn't possible. It needs to render and build the DVD files before it can burn them.

I've never seen a program that can render and burn DVD-Video simultaneously.

Just a general question...is there any consensus on the most space-efficient codec? Playback compatibility is not an issue, I'm just wondering about the highest quality for lowest bitrate....at the moment I'm using h.264...which is the most efficient of which I know, but would anyone suggest anything else? Thanks!

I'd say that h.264 is the best at the moment in terms of quality/bitrate.
DivX is probably the next best choice, but I think you'd get slightly better quality with h.264 at the same bitrate.

Hey, i've got an 16:10 .avi video. How can I transcode it with TMPGEnc? there is no "16:10" in source aspect ratio-settings.

Can anyone please tel me why this new version of MPEG Editor will not work on x64 systems? I work using x64 systems and now had to install a XP license just for the purpose of using MPEG Editor 3.

MPEG Editor 2 PREMIUM worked like a charm on x64, so what changed? I hope this is not a software-protection issue, I can't stand it when copy-protections prevent a software that would otherwise run fine from running on certain systems!!!!

Thanks,
Jay

Hmmm, no x64 support? Did you install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en)?

Yep, .NET FW 3.5 SP1 is installed, but no go...

Got an e-mail earlier from tmpgenc enews concerning 4.0 express.
Said 4.0 express was updated to 4.5.2.255
However when I go to web site and pull the latest build it is TE4XP_Retail_4.5.1.254_setup_en.exe.
Has anyone been able to pull the version 4.5.2.255?

Only the foreign language versions carry the 4.5.2.255 version, feature-wise it's identical to the english 4.5.1.254 version.

I have already purchased the full version of the product, but recently, had to have my computer cleaned, which removed the software from my harddrive.

I still have my serial number, but can't figure out how to re-install the program without having to re-purchase it. Is it possible to re-download the full version as long as I have the serial?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I think I found it. Thanks!

If anyone else is wondering how to re-download purchased software, here's how you do it:

First, you must register your product. (If you've purchased your software in the last couple of months, then you've probably already done this, since it's the only way to download your software. However this wasn't required a while back, and anyone was able to download the full version from the download page; this message is for those people.)
You can register your product by going to the registration page and setting up a user account or logging into your user account if you already have one.

After logging in, you should be at a page with all of your registered products listed. If your product isn't there, you can register it on this page.

In the list of your registered products, there should be a download link next each product. It's pretty much self-explanatory after that.

I've ripped a HD-DVD disc and demuxed it as you cannot convert .evo files in TMPGenc 4.0 Express. After remuxing the contents back together to create a .ts video file I can succesfully load the video into TMPGenc but when trying to load the audio stream which is a .mpa file it says

"It may be an unsupported file or there is only a video stream."

TMPGenc says it supports mpa, am I missing codecs or something? Is there a way of converting the mpa into another format like ac3 or something that I could try instead?

Thanks in advance.
