Im the same newbie in the previous post. We have set up our own menue template to author the clients dvds, each time we open the menue template we find ourselves having to re-edit the button highlight colours in the menue screens. Even though we set them to a particular colour, they automatically switch baqck to the red and yellow defualts.
How do you save the default highlight colours in a way that they dont change back after closing the origional project?
Hmmm...it doesn't seem like it saves the highlight color. Even when I save a custom menu as a template, it doesn't retain the highlight colors I've set. I'll send them an email and request that these settings can be saved somehow.
Im a newbie on this. Please can someone kindly assit me by telling me how we output our final authored dvd to an .iso or disc image from Authorworks , as these need to go drectly to the duplicator for writing. (the duplicator only recognises iso files)?
After you output your files (you should have a Video_TS and Audio_TS folder), go to the disc writing tool. Use the "Select folder" button and choose the folder that contains the Video_TS and Audio_TS folder. Once selected, the option to create a disc image should be clickable. Click on that and you should be able to create an iso file.
Thank you very much for the prompt reply i is much appreciated, we will try it tommorow. Would there be any way to batch process the video and audio ts folders into iso files. (we convert peoples home movies to dvd therefor author 10 to 15 discs at a time using the batch authroing feature, however when it comes to iso creation will we need to do this one by one??
Unfortunately, I don't think you can batch process the saving as iso files. The batch tool is only for outputting saved projects as DVD/BD/DivX video data.
In the past I've ripped my DVD's to my hard-drive and played them in Windows Media Player on my PC. This has worked well and served my purposes for a couple of years now.
I recently tried burning a couple to DVD-RW's and thought I'd watch them through my home DVD player which can play DIVX/XVID files , however they play oddly in my TV .. there being a large black bar across the bottom of the screen , which is rather annoying!!
I think this is because I ripped them at 29.97 fps without realising .. (NTSC standard I think) and my TV is german which is PAL standard.
Is there a prefered method of converting these files which is relatively quick or is it best to rip them again?
If I run them through TMPGENC which settings would be best to do the job without losing any picture quality?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Following on from this question in regards to aspect ratio. I would like to ask if it is possible to convert a 4x3 recording to 16x9. If you change the settings on the recording then of course the images all look fat as they have changed in terms of the aspect.
Just curious if one can change without affecting the image, like the DVD's that you purchase today.
If you don't want to affect the image, but have it be 16x9, you'll have to add black bars to the sides of the video. 4.0 XPress will do this automatically if you select 16:9 in the Format stage. Make sure your clip properties are set to 4:3 though.
I have been using TMPGEnc 4 for a while - Most movies in the past can take anywhere from 1-3 hours. How come all of a sudden it is taking forever to output an NTSC standard DVD? One project showed 10 hours!!?? Thank you for your help!

It could be the format of the source video, or a change in some settings. Running other programs besides Authoring Works could also contribute to longer encoding times. Hard to say though.
The Disc Writing Tool will not write to a dual layer DVD even though the DVD files are less than the capacity of the disc. Has anyone come across this before and been able to identify and correct the problem?
When the folder is added in the Disc Writing window the size shows as 7544Mb with the disc capacity showing as 8152Mb and the disc media is writable. However, when selecting the Write Disc button the status bar quickly indicates it's analysing the files and then displays the error about not enough space.
N.B. I've successfully burned the DVD files to disc using ImgBurn using exactly the same make of discs so I'm pretty sure that the discs aren't the problem.
When using `simple' demux tool from MPEG editor3, when I run an mpg file thru, I get *.ac3 for the audio portion.... how can I tell TMPGenc to give me *.wav format?
I don't see any way to make a decision about format inside the `simple or advanced demux dialogs.
All that is possible there is to select a source file
You can't. That simply means that ac3 is the audio format that your video uses, so that's what it's going to be demuxed as. It doesn't convert audio or video formats, it just turns them into separate files.

Clips are basically another name for your video file. The track is one movie in your DVD/Blu-ray. So if you have a couple of clips in a track, those clips will play one after the other as if they were one long movie. In other words, when you put clips in a track they are treated like chapters.
For tv episodes, I would put each episode in its own track. That way, you will be able to play each episode individually.
Can someone help me please? I keep getting the same message every time I try to import a file: Says something to the effect: COULD NOT OPEN THE VIDEO PART OF THE FILE C:----- ONLY THE AUDIO PART CAN BE OPENED??? UUGGGHHH! What the heck? I never had this problem b4!! Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or what I did to make this start happening?
What kind of file is it? Usually that means you don't have the right codec, so it can't decode the video part of the file. Use a program like GSpot or MediaInfo to find out what codec it requires then do a search on the web for that codec.
Thank You Sooooo Much!! PROBLEM SOLVED! I did some cleaning up & I guess I accidentally deleted my Codec package! Man, who would think 1 little file could screw so much up! Thanks A TON!
Is there any way to select a custom filename for TMPGEnc4XP's output files, apart from the automatically generated name. Like "Save As" in other programs, where you simply type in the name you want
Yes, just type it in in the Encode stage where it says "Output file name". It's right below the preview area. You can also click on the "Browse..." button to select an output directory.
Ah, you must be talking about multiple file output. No, you can't set a file name for that; it'll be based on the clip name. There are some options for the naming if you go the preferences-->Output folder/file settings.
>Yes, just type it in in the Encode stage where it says "Output file name". It's right below the preview area. You can also click on the "Browse..." button to select an output directory.
It says "Output folder name" (not "Output file name").
So if the folder in the field is already say C:\XYZ and I amend it to
C:\XYZ\test.avi as test.avi is what I want the output filename to be, then when I press the Encode button it says:
"The file below will be outputted: C:XYZ\test.avi\[source name-of-file].avi
i.e. it takes test.avi to be a folder name
Too bad as I thought your answer met my requirement.
>Yes, just type it in in the Encode stage where it says "Output file name". It's right below the preview area. You can also click on the "Browse..." button to select an output directory.
Ah, I found you are correct if I changed Format, File output mode to "Output all clips into one file (or one set of files)" rather than what I had previously "Output each clip in a separate file (or separate set of files)"
I used the latter because I was always worried file would be overwritten, but I see that if "Output all clips into one file (or one set of files)" is used, a warning is issued to avoid this.
Other products have it (Bababoom, Loiloscope - and they are fast with CUDA encoding).
Should I wait for an upgrade (CUDA Encoding version), is it planned (when) - Or should I just switch to another product (no CUDA Encoding planned for Tmpgenc).
I use TMPGenc Authoring 3 to make DVDs of satellite video made on a DVD-Ram disc on a Panasonic DVD recorder. Most of the time it works perfectly, but sometimes I get an error message: Code 23, then it simply stops. I haven't found any solution to the problem. Anyone else had or solved this problem? Thanks
