Hi, I have a problem. When I encode a typical 1080x1920 movie using the DVD Template in Mastering Works, it adds black bars on the sides. I found a solution to change the size to 704x480 with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and it seems to work. The problem is that when I bring the encoded file into Authoring Works, the settings need to be changed to 704x480 to display correctly. That seemed to work until I tested the DVD's ISO in VLC. VLC uses a 4:3 aspect ratio by default. I have to manually change it to 16:9 in order to show it correctly. If I skip Mastering Works and just load my original movie, then I can click on "Ignore Black Bars" in the video properties, and everything's okay. I had used 704x480 before with other problems, and VLC and other computer players never had any problems displaying correctly by default. There's something in Authoring Works that's not adding the correct metadata. I need to be able to use Mastering Works to encode all of the files before I author them. Can somebody provide a solution or explanation?

This is driving me crazy, where is this menu?! In the online guide (precisely at this link (https://help.pegasys-inc.com/en/taw7/30325.html) it says that I can change these numbers, but I can't find this option anywhere"!

I've read at numerous locations on the web (seemingly generated by AI) that TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 can output to an ISO disk image. It says one only needs to click on the Output to ISO button. Is this true? I do not see an output to ISO button anywhere in the Output section of Authoring Works 7. Is there something I'm missing?

I discovered the answer to my question. The function to create a disk image only appears after the project has been exported to a folder.

Hello.
I need help. I have a track of song videos, say 30 videos. on the menu, each page of track 1 has 10 songs, along with next page, etc. All selections in the menu are 'Back to Menu' after playing. If I click 'Play All', it starts at song 1.
Is there a way to only have it play the 10 songs on page 2. without changing the end action to 'Play Next Chapter'? Like 'Play All' but only for the videos on that page (11-20).

Thank you very much

James

when will tmpgeng mastering works 8 be released in english?

I am wondering the same thing. I am on v6 and have been waiting for v8 to drop for a while now. I even emailed their sales dept back in February of this year asking about this and was advised to hold off on purchasing 7 and to wait for 8. I assumed that meant that 8 would be released in the near future. Was not expecting to still be waiting 6 months later but here we are.

I can edit .MOV files but then I can’t output back to it. Why is that?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a bluray disc with a simple menu.
There are 6 episodes on the disc and I'd like to have a title page showing an image with the menu options of 'Play all' and 'Episode selection'.

'Play all' would obviously start playing all the episodes in sequence and
'Episode selection' would take you to another page with 6 Episode thumbnails for selection.

Does anyone know how I can do this in Authoring Works 6 please?
Thanks.

Is it possible to create a 4K Blu-ray disc with TMPGEnc Authoring Works 7 software? If not, the software is useless for me.

I created the disc files & they are HD (1920 x 1080), 29.97fps, Interlaced, bit rate 30.0 Mb/s.

I do not see any option pertaining to disc creation.

There is a program to create 4k disc with a menu it is called, DVDLogic's KITe UHD Authoring Suite at dvd-logic.com. You can request a trial version, but it is not very user friendly and it is a vey high price. Now with DVDFab 13 you can make a 4k movie with out a menu and it does create chapters according to the length of the movie and add subtitles and audio tracks but since you don't have a menu you would use the next button on your UHD player to move through the chapters and the same with the different audio tracks, would be accessed with the remote to go through the different audio tracks.

I tried changing Main Menu background video & audio and received the following error:

illegal floating decimal point calculation order. Floating point division by zero [code:c000008E VMESys.dll ModuleBase:000000006A880000 Address:000000006AC36D11].

This is the path i used to update the background: Menu > Page Edit > Background Edit > within Source File Settings clicked Browse, then added video clip.

Tried several other videos for the background, but still received the same error message.

What am I failing to understand with changing the background video. Ironically I can change the audio without an issue.

Compared to DVD Architect, TMPGEnc has a difficult learning curve.

When trying to play my BluRay on a conventional Hardware Player, everything works fine until I reach the minute mark 45:57 on Track 1 (main movie). The movie just freezes. The only way to resume is to fast forward or rewind for 1 sec and then hit play. Now the movie plays back seemlessly.

The track contains only one larger file (01:13:14) an 13 chapters. None of the chapters fall on this timecode. When I play it back on a disc drive on my PC (via VLC Media Player), it all works perfectly fine.

Does someone know a solution to this?

I am trying to create blu-ray compliant folders so that I may burn a BD-R upon completion.

I added a number of MKV files and associated .ac3 audio files to TAW6 and saved the project. I am now trying to output the project to files, but TAW6 keeps stopping the output at various points. Two .m2ts files have been created in the "Stream" folder, but the 3rd one shows 0 KB with no further progress. The time "Remaining" keeps increasing......

I have tried saving to a local drive as well as to an attached one without any luck.

Can anyone help, as this is very frustrating?

Thanks!
