Hello,
I would like to ask ,i am encoding a video(avi Source),but the outcome video is more redish!
Why is like that.
Also is it better using full encode 2 pass?Or 1 pass is enough?
Thanks
I am using k-lite codecs pack.

Can I edit the metadata of a MP4 file (encoded with TVMW5) ?
If not with TVMW5 built-in tools, what other (free) tool do you recommend ?
I have incorrect metadata in some large MP4 files, and would like to avoid re-encoding them...

Just found what I need: Windows 7: file properties / details / title.....
:-)

Request the ability to produce both a DVD and a BD from the same Project including custom menus.

Oh yes, that would be a very useful feature. Not all of my "customers" are using BD, so it would be great to create BD and DVD from the same project.

Thanks.

In TAW5 there is a new "Disc setting" button (on the Source Screen) that opens the option to set "character code".

I suggest there should be a "set default" option there.

When I use Swedish standard characters (like å ä ö) in the track title the simulation preview says "Invalid Track name". Same thing with non english characters in chapter names.

When I change the "character code" setting in the "Disc settings" window to the "Central Europe" option, the Swedish characters work fine.

So an option to change the character code default would obviously be an improvement for the community of international users.

Now we have to set it manually for each project.

I hope for a fix in the next update.

When importing Blu-ray to Authoring works 5, Subtitles are messed up.

hi there. i use taw4 quite a bit, and usually for me to author an mpg takes about 5-6 minutes. but yesterday and today, the authoring process has been very slow. 20 minutes some have taken, and some i have had to abort, but the estimated time was running into a couple of hours.

Was that for smart rendering or full rendering? Is your source file DVD/BD compliant?

When after saving a custom template, I found that the "play all" button from the top menu & "close" button on the pop up menu have disappeared.

If I go back through the procedure of setting the the template, both buttons are present, but again disappear if the template is saved.

Good catch! Happens for me too.

Like the improvements made, but one item that I have hit a problem with in the creation of proxy editing file.

In Version 4, you could import several files at once and select the option to create the proxy as part of the importation process.

However, I am at a loss to find this mean of importation in version 5 :(

Does anyone have any idea where to find this, or has it been lost in the update?

Hi,

I do have exactly the same problem. I really liked the option of V4 to select to create a proxy file direcly in the add file dialogue.

Now I always have to go to the "extended tools" and create the proxy file in a extra step. That is really a step backwards in usability.

Can this be brought back please?

Regards - Peter

Yes, I'm missing this too. Any way to add it back?
I try to have proxies created at night so that during the day when I'm working it's efficient. But now there's no way to "batch create" the proxy files.

So there is a way to batch create proxy files.
Start TAW
Click on Advanced Tools
Under Proxy File, click on Create
Select the files you want to have proxies for by using the Add button
Click on Create

Dear Sirs,

I cannot activate smart rendering function for any of my H.264 DVB recordings ( it is not possible even for a cleaned HDD copy of original H.264 blu-ray)
Maybe it is a restiction of a trial version ????????
If not, please give us a specification area required to get desired smart rendering.
Smart rendering works only for AVCHD camcorder files.

Regards

I am unable to change CBR bitrate when in smart rendering mode, it is always stuck on 25000

I can change it only in 1 pass VBR or 2 pass VBR

We need more advanced settings in the encoding of motion menus, such as Closed GOP and GOP structure, similar to all the advanced settings of Mastering Works

this is important so that the motion menu has the same parameters as the main movie tracks that may be encoded in Mastering Works with all its advanced settings

I would like to request chapter playlists, these are very handy for playing any one or more chapters within one track and then upon completion to return to menu

I am sure it would have been requested 1000 times but I like to add one more to make it 1001 requests

I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, but for DVD projects, you can select an action at the end of chapter playback.

Go to the Global DVD menu settings-->chapter tab, and you'll see a dropdown for the chapter end action. Choose to play the next chapter or go back to the track menu.

I only use it for Blu-ray production

let me expand what is needed:

lets assume one video clip has 10 chapter points

now, I want to create a menu button and link it to chapter5, upon pressing the menu button, chapter 5 should be played and then at the end of chapter5, the menu should appear

or, I may want to link a menu button or text to a chapter playlist, such as chapter 3, 5 and 7 and then the end action of the chapter playlist should be the menu

also, a movie playlist is needed, example there are 10 tracks with 10 movies and I want to create a menu button to play movie2, 4 and 6 and then return to menu

these are very simple things done in DVD Lab Pro, see attached examples
