Just downloaded the trial version of TMPGEnc Authoring Works. The program crashes when I click on Preferences. It also crashes when I try to open a file.
I've added a 1080 50p m2ts file from my camcorder to a 'AVHCH Progressive' project but there's no Smart Render tag, just Full Render.
The file is compliant as it's direct from the camera.
Can TAW5 SR 1080 50p files?
Here is the media info for the said file....

The reason it will go to full render is 1080 50P is not bluray compliant. It has to be 50i.
However if you really want to play 1080 50P video as I do, you have to use AVCHD software and burn it to DVD. This will then play in bluray players.
You can record about 60 minutes to a dual layer dvd disc at very good quality. I'm sure it is sharper and more pleasing to watch than Bluray at 1080 50i.
I bought Authoring Works 5 in the hope that it would author AVCHD at 1080 50P onto DVD disc but it does not.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY ?????????????
Does anyone know a way around this using Authoring Works 5?
When I import Quicktime Reference (QTRef) files into TVMW5 that were exported from an Avid Media Composer 1080P sequence, TVMW5 is expanding the color space if the QTRef file uses 709 color space. In other words, I import a file with 709 color space (16 - 235)into TVMW5, and the color space is automatically remapped to RGB color space (0 - 255.) QTRef files already in RGB color space are left alone -- only QTRef files using 709 space are expanded. The result is that both 709 QTRefs and RGB QTRefs exported from Avid look EXACTLY THE SAME in TVMW5.
To test the situation I took a sequence in Avid and output two separate Quicktime Reference files from it, one with the original 709 color space (16 - 235), and the second with the color space expanded to RGB levels (i.e. 0 - 255.)
I then viewed the exported QTRef files in Quicktime, Windows Media Player, and Media Player Classic and confirmed that the two QTRef files had different color spaces. As expected, it was quite easy to see that the 709 export had lighter blacks than the RGB export.
I then imported the two QTRef files into TVMW5. Without applying ANY filters, the files appeared EXACTLY the same. The RGB QTRef was left alone, but the 709 export had its color space expanded/remapped to RGB.
The tests confirm that with HD projects, TVMW5 remaps 709 levels to RGB levels.
It's important to note that this ONLY happens with HD content. If I instead export a QTRef from an Standard Def project (which uses 601 instead of 709 space), the remapping/expansion does NOT happen. The 601 color space QTRef from the SD project is NOT auto-expanded to RGB space. This indicates that the issue is either with HD content (vs SD), or with 709 color space (vs 601.)
I cannot get the menue item highlight to chane solors. It used the yellow for selection and red for action no matter where I cahnge it. I have red for selection and yellow for action in global settings and it will not change in my menu.
Is it possible to use picture files (jpg, png etc.) in Smart Renderer 4? It seems the only way to insert them is in tiled mode. It would be a nice feature to have.
with 5.3.1.85 pegasys improved the x264 encoder has problems encoding fade-ins at the start of a video if the video transitions from an all white frame or an all black frame. since this problem disappears after the first few frames of the video, i am assuming this is a bug. but could someone suggest how to decrease these macroblocking artifacts. is it possible to disable mbtree.
I have an mp4 movie file that needs simple filtering. There is no accompanying SRT file but when I open it in Video Mastering Works 5, bold subtitles appear throughout. Dialogue and descriptive subtitles that I don't want like: "Man coughing", "Dog Barking: Woof Woof".
I normally play videos in Media Player Classic and the subs never appear. The new file I make now has the subtitles.
How can I disable these unwanted subtitles from appearing?
If the subtitles are not "burned-in" the video, try this: Install mkvtoolnix, then open mkvmerge. Drag'n'drop your mp4 file inside. You should see below the video, the audio, and the subtitles. Deselect the subtitles, and create a new mkv file. I don't know Video Mastering Works handles embedded subtitles in a mp4 file, but you could use this new mkv file. There is no quality loss with mkvmerge, it is just a remux to mkv.
I posted this in the German forum too, but it seems a little bit ... deserted there.
My problem is that I want to record a video of me with a greenscreen in the background and want to replace the greenscreen with another video in TMPGEnc VMW5. But I don't know how I can do this ...
I don't think you can. That kind of work usually requires a video studio software, kinda like Corel VideoStudio Ultimate X6, Pinnacle Studio 16 Ultimate or one of Sony's video solutions.
Can someone advise as to how I can add the 'rotate' action to the default 'filters' template? I am getting tired of having to load the 'rotate' action every time I want to use it!
First, go to the filters tab in the cut-editor and load all the filters you usually use or think you will use. Once added, click on the Save Template button below the filter list and save. This saves the list of filters (and also the settings at the time you saved).
Then, exit the cut-editor and go back to the main window. Go to the preferences and then go to Clip editing-->Clip default settings. Under the section "Default filter template", click the browse button and select your saved filter template.
From now on, your favorite filters will load by default and you won't have to select them again.
I have some problem with my encoded movies etc., sources are TS files and UYVY files (from VHS-rip), the source is in synch, but after i re-endoded to ect. MKV, MPG (DVD), Blu-Ray are the audio about -200ms and with the UYVY is +100ms, is most when i use Dolby Digital the problem cames, both ind 2.0, 5.1, but also a little bit with Mpeg-1 layer 2 audio, is there others with same problem, is there a new audio codecs or drivers there can uses with TMPGEnc.
The reason is slightly damaged recorded source files, which when coded in to other formats causes the audio to get out of sync. I have encountered this problem several times regarding recorded TS files on my PVR.
Such files needs to be repaired before usage in video editors.
What i use for this is VideoReDo TV Suite. It is a darn good video repair tool, who fixes the errors, so the risk of sync problems gets removed.
I how ever do NOT suggest using VideoReDo's converter tool, it sucks big time. Output the video as TS files.
I am currently evaluating TVMW5 for encoding HD .m2ts footage to x264 mp4 format.
My problem is that TVMW5 does not seem to import my m2ts files correctly.
When I import m2ts files "as is" I end up with the audio channel only with no video track.
When I import m2ts using the TS importer I get the error: "Could not find any valid video titles in the TS file"!
My m2ts files are:Video AVC 1440x1080, Audio AAC 18kHz
My OS is Windows 7 (I tried on both 32 and 64 bits flavor -> same problem)
What is most surprising is that all other software I tried; VLC, xmedia recode and even TmpGenc TSMR4 can load those m2ts really fine.
It is rather frustrating that I can't seem to use TvMW5 on my file.
I had this problem as well. One way round it was to leave a PGS (subtitle) stream in the .m2ts file then everything was fine. Removing all the PGS streams seemed to cause the problem.
