hello!I have some standard MPEG-2 files,I want save these file into a stardand DVD-R to play it on home DVD player.I use TDA3 to import these file,I want to know whether re-encode will done or not.thanks.
Actually, it depends on the source files. If your MPEG file is already DVD-compliant, it will not re-encode unless it's too big for the media. To easily check to see if your clips will re-encode or not, look for the "SR" or "FR" icon in the Source stage of the program. The icon will be next to the thumbnail of your clip in the source list. SR stands for Smart Rendering, which is what you are looking for, and will only re-encode edited sections of your clips, making output much faster. If you see the FR icon, then that means Full Rendering and your whole clip will be re-rendered.
Just to add some info...
If you mix aspect ratios in a track, then the non-matching aspect ratios will be re-encoded.
For example, if you have 2 16:9 clips and 1 4:3 clip in a single track, then the 4:3 clip will be fully re-encoded (to add black bars at the sides).
To avoid this, create two tracks, one for your 16:9 clips, and one for your 4:3 clips. Then all clips will be Smart Rendered.
Does 4.0 support blueray mkv encoding to divx or any other format? If so why wont it allow me to import it as a source file. but will allow a 1920x1080 wmv file as a source. The result of this encode is wonderful, but will I only be able to use wmv and not blueray mkv?
Whenever i bring 1440x1080 HDV clip to the program it reads it correctly as 16:9. Unfortunately when rendered to QT it creates black bars on top and the bottom so to work around it i force the program it present the clip as 4:3 -- that gets rid of the black bars... But when i bring in loots of clips they all read 16:9 and i have to manually set their aspect ratio -- can i just highlight all clips and do it just a few clicks or do i have to do it manually one clip at a time?
I cannot install this product on my machine....I keep getting 'wizard was interrupted" error and then it goes to finish and foes not install. I am able to install other software. I have tried everything and still it does not install...HELP PLEASE...
Yes, this is possible.
In the Menu Stage, go to the Page Editor tab and double-click on the thumbnail you want to change.
The Menu Item Editor window should appear.
Move the playhead to the frame you want to appear as your thumbnail image and click on the "Set as start frame" button (it's the button with the downward arrow).
The blue bar indicating the active frames should change once you click on that button.
That's it! This frame will now appear in your menu, but when you play the clip, it will start from the beginning.
Setting the start and end frames can be used in conjunction with the motion menus as well in case you only want a certain section of the clip to play as the menu thumbnail.
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.

I am having the same problem and just submitted a request for tech support. What are the details of your problem? The program hangs for me when trying to convert a 9GB AVCHD file to MPG-2 DVD format. It finishes through the analyze step and then hangs when it starts the writing the file output. It works fine for smaller files. I'm running Vista with 4GB of memory and 500GB of free HD space. Intel Duo 2 Core process. The computeris more than up to the task ofsupporting this type of workload.
I Just tried TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.0 With Divx Authoring and I have
a few questions about it.
What does it transcode the video for?
Can't it just author the DivX files without encoding them?
and another thing...
Why does the only subtitles language it support is English?
If your video is too big, it will transcode it to fit your target media (dl dvd, single layer dvd, etc.).
DivX DVDs will always be re-encoded because of the DivX Ultra file structure and the fact that "Smart Rendering" can't be applied to DivX files. A DivX Ultra DVD is basically one huge file which includes the tracks and menus. So it will take all of your separate clips and re-encode them together even if your clips are already in DivX format.
Yes, there are bitrate settings that you can adjust upon selecting the DVD output template. You can select what type of media you have (in your case, single-layer DVD) and then set the percentage of the media capacity. TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress will automatically adjust the audio and video bitrate to fit your target percentage.
You can rename the files before you output, but first you must deactivate the auto encode function.
Once deactivated, you can queue up your files like normal and it won't start encoding. Right-click on the video and there should be an option to set the name for the output file.
Hi! I hope someone can help me...
I don't know how to get background audio in the menu!
When I try, I get this message: "The menu background audio option is
currently disabled for this project. Background audio selection requires the
background audio option to be enabled. See the menu settings window audio tab."
And I can't find that "tab"! Please help me! :)
In the Menu Stage there is a button in the upper left corner called "Global DVD menu settings." Click that, and then go the "Motion menu" tab. There, you can add background audio and/or make your thumbnails/background animate.
Er, to clarify, the Global DVD menu settings is where you enable BGM and motion, and adjust the duration. To actually add the BGM you have to go back to the Menu item editor (which is where I think you saw that message) and then you can add your audio file.
