Input video
768x576 pix
PAR=1:1, DAR=4:3, SAR=4:3
progressive

Output video by program TMPGenc Authoring Works 4
720x576 pix
PAR=16:15, DAR=4:3, SAR=5:4
interlaced TFF
PAL
Do you know,
What are PAR, DAR, SAR mean ?
I am very, very wonder,
Why output video has black borders on left and right sides of output video 8 pix width each border ?
Really I have output video width 704 pix (video) + 8 pix * 2 (2-black borders) = 720 pix,
but
If you carry out minimum calculations, you wil see following:
768 pix (input video width) / PAR (output video PAR=16:15) = 768 * 15 / 16 = 720 pix.
Where are black borders here in video ? I don't understand !!! I have full 720 pix width output video (not 704 pix (output video) + 8 pix * 2 (2-black borders)) !!!
I know that Western People are not able to consider with fractions, I can help with fractions calculation !
Russian school education is the best in the world !!!
PAR = Pixel Aspect Ratio. 1:1 means that your pixels are not being stretched; they are square.
DAR = Display Aspect Ratio. The ratio the video should be displayed at.
SAR = Storage Aspect Ratio. The ratio of pixel dimensions. SAR x PAR = DAR, or PAR = DAR/SAR. Since your PAR is 1:1, SAR and DAR are equal (for your input file).
It states: "Note that sources differ on PARs for common formats – for example, 576 lines (PAL) displayed at 4:3 (DAR) corresponds to either PAR of 12:11 (if 704×576, SAR = 11:9), or a PAR of 16:15 (if 720×576, SAR = 5:4)."
Additional reading in case you want to learn more and do some calculations for yourself. Skip down to Section 3 to see a calculation table and see why TAW4 pads the video with the black borders/why you need to change the resolution width to 704.
I have a problem with making motion menues stay activated.
You press "motion" and it renders, you then see all the chapter playing as you would expect in motion. You flick to another menu and come back and all the motions have disabled itself!
"motion menu" under the motion menu tab within 'Global menu settings" is ticked.
If so, it is only for preview purposes, so it probably doesn't retain the motion render when you leave the page. When you author the project it will work properly.
No, you don't have to render in simulation mode in order for it to output. The rendering in Simulation is for preview only. You can skip the simulation altogether if you want and when you output your files, it will render motion menus correctly.
I have a HP dual-core AMD computer with Windows 7 , running on 3 gigs DDR3 memory and I just recently purchased Mastering Words 5.
I tried to encode Blue-ray and it took over six hours for a 120 min movie.
I tried to encode a tv dvd that I own and convert the files to AVI and one file with a time length of 24 mins took over 4 hours!!!
I have used this program in the past and I noticed that sometimes it would encode very slowly and then sometimes it would work fine. I tried the batch encoding and the times were even longer.
thanks.
6 hours for a 2 hour HD movie is not bad I think. At this price point, you aren't going to get realtime encoding...Definitely not with those computer specs.
As for your AVI, what codec were you using? The codec could be your bottleneck. That could also be why the encoding times were different in the past; you could have been using a different codec.
I import a TV programme from a DVD-RAM. I would like to take out the audio from a certain point in the video. An example would be to delete the audio from say, 10:00 to 10:15. Can this be done with this application?
So you want to keep the video for that section but have no audio, correct?
You can do by splitting your clip into multiple clips to isolate the section you don't want audio in.
So in the clip editor window, move the playhead to the beginning of the section where you want the audio to stop and click the split-clip button. The thumbnail navigator should change color.
Then move the playhead to where you want audio to start again and set another split marker.
Click "OK". It will ask you which sections you want to keep; keep both blue and orange sections.
After confirming, it will turn your clip into 3 separate clips and you'll be back in the Edit Stage. Double-click the clip that should not have audio to open the clip editor window again. Go to the Clip Properties tab. For the Audio Stream mode, select "None". Click OK to finalize the change.
Using TMPGEnc Master Works 5, I'm trying to encode an uncompressed AVI at 923x421 into an MP4 at the same dimensions. Importing the video, the software recognizes the dimensions, but when I try to encode it, it changes them to 924x424.
No matter what I try, I'm not able to use my 923x421. What's happening?
Ok guys i have 1920x1080 MTS and convertint to dvd file and i get black line or left & right..
Is this normal to TVMW5 or I'm missing somthing on settings..
"You can try outputting the video stream with the H.264 output format (video only) and then a separate encode for the audio stream using the Dolby Digital output format, then mux the two streams into a MPEG-2 transport stream with the MPEG Tools."
Basically, the h.264 template does not output a compliant audio stream, which is why it can't make a fully compliant BD file. The video stream itself is fine though, so it's simply a matter of creating compliant video and audio streams and then muxing them together. A user on the facebook page confirmed this to work.
Unfortunately, this does not work with Avid DVD 6.x (oem version of DVDit Pro HD): the video is imported fine, but it gets transcoded by the app (it does so whenever it decides the video is not compliant)
Not being on Facebook, I wonder if someone had success importing H264 video created by TVMW5 in DVDit Pro HD or any other Sonic authoring app ?
What things should I change from the default MP4/AVC settings (beside bitrate) to create BD compliant video stream with TVMW5 ?
Avid DVD / Sonic DVDit Pro is very picky about what it accepts without transcoding
I don't know if command line is possible in TVMW5...if it is, I've never used it so I can't say anything about it.
I would start with a short clip, a couple seconds long, and start with just the basic blu-ray compliant settings shown in the Wikipedia article. Make sure it's a proper Blu-ray resolution, framerate and bitrate. Output as video only, no audio. See if Avid likes it.
If not, start looking at the more detailed settings from the google link. In TVMW5, switch to "MPEG output" mode to access the Advanced settings tab. There, you'll find some of the settings that correlate to the ones in that link.
Why TMGEnc VideoMastering Works 5 codes avi, - mpeg, - DivX, - HDV, - AVCHD - video files and etc. in HDV and Blu-ray formats in 3 times more slowly, than TMPGEnc 4 Express. It occurs and to application of plug-in SpursEngine under payment Canopus Firecoder Blu.

Почему TMGEnc VideoMastering Works 5 кодирует avi,- mpeg,- DivX,- HDV,- AVCHD -видеофайлы и т. д. в HDV и Blu-ray форматы в 3 раза медленнее, чем TMPGEnc 4 Express. Это происходит и с применением плагина SpursEngine под плату Canopus Firecoder Blu.
I have a small problem while editing my movie I choose subtitles english so i will get the time and date stamp on my movie. When i edit my movie from my SD card the first few minutes i ply the file and the time and date stamp appear after a few minutes the time and date stamp diappear is this a fault in the software or are there some settings i am missing so it will play through the entire movie?
Another question, I am using 2.5 Free version and it works great for X > MPEG-1 transcoding. However, if I specify a custom low bitrate, say 300kpbs, the file size doesn't come down and remains the same. Is it a bug or a feature or I am doing something wrong?
I have a movie that I need to fit onto a memory card, so.. space is the issue here.
You may be doing something wrong. Are you sure you're opening the new file and not the source file?
Are you using the wizard? Not sure, but it may force a certain bitrate if you are using a Video CD output template.
I've been able to set a bitrate of 300kbps with manual VBR and CBR, and the outputted file stays true to those settings (or at least very close to them).
>You may be doing something wrong. Are you sure you're opening the new file and >not the source file?
Yes, I am positive.
>Are you using the wizard? Not sure, but it may force a certain bitrate if you >are using a Video CD output template.
I tried both ways. Didn't matter.
>I've been able to set a bitrate of 300kbps with manual VBR and CBR, and the >outputted file stays true to those settings (or at least very close to them).
I tried VBR and CBR @ 300kbps, both ways the file size is over 800 megs in size.
There must be a bug. It just doesn't change the bitrate. Tried manual, 2-pass... everything. In my prev. post you can see that the max bitrate is set to 300, yet it's not the bitrate.
