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).

Yes, I am positive.

I tried both ways. Didn't matter.

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.
Just want to shout out to Pegasys for greatly improving the DivX encoder performance in TVMW5! The DivX encoder was HORRENDOUSLY slow in Xpress4 and I just couldn't use it. Now with TVMW5 I can finally get rid of the extra xvid codec I was using on Win7!
The upgrade price was a little steep in my opinion, but so far it's turning out to be a worthy update to the best video encoder around today.
I am reviewing TAW4 trial version and noticed the following. On a chapter menu page that has 4 chapter text boxes and uses one thumbnail that changes to show the motion video loop of the currently selected chapter, I noticed that upon selecting each chapter, the audio loop restarts, even though there is only a single audio file assigned to that menu page. Is there a way to keep the audio loop from restarting so that it just keeps playing until another menu page is selected?
Not possible. Animated DVD menus are basically just interactive video files. So when you highlight a thumbnail and it begins to animate, it is actually starting to play a new video file which is why the audio restarts.
I'm using TMPEGEnc 4 Xpress for about 3 years now. Now I got a new Laptop (Win7 x64, all Updates, all the newest drivers, INTEL and nVida card installed) which has CUDA 2.1 Capability (before only 2.0).
Memory-Test (memTest), HDD-Test (HD-Tune), CUDA test (Cuda-Z), CPU test (CPUZ) and system itself did't show any errors at all. All tests are passing succefully. Detailed test sheets available. Performance is great, Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop CS5(x64) are doing great. No errors/BSOD/limits during normal work.
But with TPEGEnc Xpress 4 (newest)and (just bought it today) Video Mastering Works 5 (newest) I got serveral error messages and the programs do not start at all. Not even if I set to start with admin, with GPU choice (nVidia or INTEL) or any other WinXp like compatibility mode. The errors ar alike and reproducable. Pics available.
Both programs say:
0. Initializing program, checking licence ...
1. Close program.
2. EAccessViolation in module TMPEGEncVMW5.exe/177C99E9 Reading error occured in adress 177CA9E9 at adress 177CA9E9.
3. FastMM has detected a GetMem call after FastMM was uninstalled.
Program stays resident as a task as you can check in the task manager.
I am a IT pro but I don't know what to do or check now. Can you help me to make this work?

Since this is a continuing problem and no one has responded, I thought I would provide what I did to resolve this. After installing the application, right click the shortcut to run the app and choose to Troubleshoot Compatibility, then select Troubleshoot program (not apply recommended), then select The program requires additional permissions, click next and start the program, select next, and say Yes, save settings. This seem like an odd problem as I have plenty of apps that just prompt for permission then run, but this one prompts and then still won't run unless you make this change to settings.
I want to produce a PAL encoded DVD with a Dolby Digital Soundtrack from a PAL 25fps MPEG2 file but after Authoring Works has generated the DVD it has a MPEG1 soundtrack.
I've tried to set the audio preferences to Dolby Digital but it always reverts to a MPEG soundtrack. Is there a way to produce a PAL DVD with a Dolby Digital soundtrack or does AW always revert to a MPEG1 soundtrack for a PAL DVD.
I created a profile for the ShuttlePRO v2 which can be used in cut-edit mode. It has been created/tested/optimized for editing MPEG-2 video (DVD quality). It may not be optimal for full HD editing (that is, keystroke frequency may yield better results at different values for HD editing). Also, the HDD speed, ram, CPU etc may affect the responsiveness of this profile.
Test and tweak as you see fit.
This is tested/created for TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5.
Capture a christmas movie in AVCHD. When editing a comercial I find the audio is missing but the audio was there before i took out the commercial. I tried doing some gap setting changes to know avaial. Any idea on what i can do.
when checking the video file exported, under properties i find that a film input as PAL is output as NTSC with a 25fps(when checking the properties information) from a technical standpoint, this is not possible. PAl is 25fps and NTSC is 24fps or 30fps (rounding up, of course). we don't change anything regarding the file that has been input except for the output resolution, could this be the 'problem' but even if we don't change this the video file is output as NTSC.
TMPGEnc has a template for MP4 with the x264 codec. I use this template.
Basically I import a PAL film. I select this template and adjust the bitrate, audio settings and select pixel aspect ratio and adjust B-frames to my preferences. All of which have nothing to do with NTSC.
The film is imported as 720X576 25fps. When I import the file the properties are 100% correct. Then I encode the file. When I look at the media info in VLC it says the file is 25fps NTSC.
I have tried emailing customer service. The person suggested I download the update from October. But it has the same problem.
When I select the MPG preset they provide and then select 'MP4' and go into the advance settings and select 'PAL' then I don't have this problem.
But with the MP4 preset there is no tab for 'advance setting.' And I only figured out this run-around myself. But I've already encoded a film using the MP4 preset and I would hate to have to re-encode it.
Yes I've just found the same as you about not exporting in pal mpeg-4 under the 720p(1280x720) at 25 frames.I need Pal for moving between different editing programs with a choice of either Avi or Mpeg-4.Its not to do with authoring dvds or blu-rays until the final renderings are done.I have found that going to the tmpgenc japan site and turning on translate .did resolve my last issues with program errors with the executable file.I'll get back if theirs an answer on this one.Kev
sir i am using your product tmpgenc authoring works,but i am facing one problem,there is no transition effect between first play and track menu,and also between first play and top menu.plz sir give me the solution,it is very important thing which should be in your authoring software like adobe encore and dvd lab pro.
Under the "Cut Edit" menu, I do some editing and cut out the bits that i don't want, The bits that i cut out disappear out of the thumbnail preview at the bottom. My question is our do i get them back without loosing the cuts i already have, I know i could click undo, but that also undoes anything after also, I also if i come out of the edit section. I then don'y get the option to undo, The only way i can see to do it is to select undo all cuts. but that looses evercut.
As you've found, you can only go backwards, edit by edit, with the Undo button/command or undo all edits.
However, if you want to get back a specific edit that was a couple of edits ago, I would add the video file again to create another clip and then isolate that one section you want to get back.
You may need to split the original clip into sections in order to get the new clip back into its proper place in the video.
