When trying to save as MPEG file I am stopped with message 'VBV buffer size too large for selected level'. How can I reduce the VBV buffer size so I can save the file? I have tried reducing the picture quality significantly but this makes no difference.

Is there way to pause a batch encode?(TMPGenc Express4.7.4.299)

Google the SysInternals utility Process Explorer. (www.sysinternals.com)
After it's opened up, right click on the process and select "Suspend".
Select "Restore" to continue.
This used to drive me nuts also until I found this freebee.
Works perfectly for me!

I have tried to import an AVCHD video clip containing AC3 5.1 channel Audio and when I use the Standard Blu-ray template I can't get any audio other than "stereo". Does this software even have the ability to export 5.1 channel audio ?? whats the point in having "import 5.1 channels" if you can't export them using the Blu-ray template.

At this point, no, it can't encode ac3 5.1. Right now the only output format that supports 5.1 audio is WMV (actually it can go up to 7.1), but that's WMA or whatever WMV uses for audio.
I'm really not sure why they don't just implement dolby 5.1 output; some of their other products have it so adding it to their most popular product seems like a no-brainer.

So if i understand this correctly. If i convert a DVD to MPEG2 I will only get the stereo 2 channel and not the original 5.1 Audio. Is there any software out there that will convert the 5.1 AC3 audio in a DVD to MPEG conversion.

Unfortunately, your only option is finding some way to demux the file, render the Blu-Ray file as "video only," then remux the video and audio after the fact.

Hopefully we'll get 5.1 encoding and/or passthru when this new version comes out in a couple days, but until then, this is your only option.

Video Mastering Works 5 will have 5.1 output support for Dolby Digital.

How fast can I make a 50 minute DVD with Tmpgenc. I am interested in using this product to make DVDs from mpeg-2 files from my Sony hard drive camcorder. The files were shot in Standard Definition /Standard Quality. The files are of sports events. I do not want to edit the files, but simply rearrange the files. I would also like to have each file in its own chapter. I tried this with editors not specific for editing mpeg, but it took forever to get the job done.

It will be very fast since this product does not re-encode your video. However, since it is not an encoder, your source video must be compliant with whatever output format you're going with.
I suggest you download the trial and try it for yourself. I believe you can go through the whole process of creating a test DVD, but the your video must be less than 30 minutes (just a limitation of the trial version).

Can I put the leadtek card in any other slot besides the pci-e1? The reason is that card won't fit in the pci-e1 slot because cooling pipe is in the way.

quite simple really, nope, and deal with the pipe, adjust it somehow, but unless theres another pci-e slot youve got not option.

Thank you very much.

It can also be plugged into a pci-e x4, x8, and x16 slot, but the x1 slot is the recommended configuration. There are some compatibility issues with some newer Intel chipsets like the X58, but if you don't have one of those, then I don't think you should run into any problems.

Hello,

I am trying to create a PAL 4:3 DVD from scratch, and having trouble figuring out which resolution my clip should have, so when I author it with TMPGEnc A.W. it comes out right when played on the TV. To simplify my tests, I have created a little avisynth script which creates a small video out of thin air (see below).

What happens right now is that it does not fit on the TV screen. I.e., the red border from the .avs is missing, and the text is having some letters cut off on both sides. I have tried many different settings for the track / clip / video in TMPGenc, to no avail so far.

Anyway, here's that avisynth script. It simply renders some text with a red border. **I am fully aware that the everything will have the wrong aspect ratio** (the text will be skewed) the way I have set it up, the only thing I care about right now is to get the red border smack on the border of the TV screen.

video = Version()
sourceW = 436
sourceH = 80
palW = 720
palH = 576
scaledW = sourceW*palW/sourceW
scaledH = sourceH*palW/sourceW
video = BicubicResize(video,scaledW,scaledH,0,0.5)
video = AddBorders(video,0,(palH-scaledH)/2,0,(palH-scaledH)/2)
border = BlankClip(video,color=$ff0000)
Overlay(border,Crop(video,4,4,-4,-4),x=4,y=4)

My last (non-working) clip settings are "Aspect ratio: Pixel 12:11 (PAL 4:3)" for the clip and "Aspect Ratio: 4:3" for the track. Obviously, if I decrease the "palW" and "palH" by trial and error, I could likely get it to work correctly, but I would rather understand where the problem is, and which is the correct resolution of my source video, and the correct clip&track settings.

Any help appreciated!

Hello Everyone,
Could i ask you about the premium templates because i can not understand the difference between them and the build ones.I saw a dinamic tamplate.What does it mean?What can it change?
Thanks

I guess they're supposed to be better than the free ones, but I think that's subjective.

Dynamic templates typically have one track/chapter thumbnail with multiple text track/chapter buttons. When you select/mouseover a text button, the thumbnail image changes to show the selected track/chapter. Some of the free templates have dynamic thumbnails; just download those and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Slideshow with audio is hard to usage.

We can't find song that best fit with a small number of photos.

It should be have an options:

1. Auto loop audio when have too many photos.
2. Auto cutoff and fade audio out when run out photos.

How I can uninstall the trial version from my PC cause the software of authoring work 4 doesn't appear in control panel install/uninstall applications.

Thnak you very much

Angelo

Are you sure it's not in the list? It'd be listed as TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 Trial or something like that.

thank you
I checked twice before writing and I didn't find it.
Now under Tmpgenc....I find it..ok
Thank you again
bye

How to Create a Page Like Shown in the Pic in scene selection how to link
buttons to next page ( 1-6 7-12 13 - 18 )

Unfortunately you can't make buttons for each page like in that pic. All you can have is the next, previous, last, and first page buttons.

yes you can.
create a picture "1-7" and replace with "go to first page", create "8-10" and replace with next page, create "11-17" and replace with go to end button...

>yes you can.
>create a picture "1-7" and replace with "go to first page", create "8-10" and replace with next page, create "11-17" and replace with go to end button...

That's assuming you only have a certain amount of chapter pages. If you have more than 4 chapter pages, you wouldn't be able to list them all.

But you are right, it is possible within those restrictions.

I take that back, that would only work if you have 3 chapter pages or less.

Would like AVCHD DVD as an output format for TMPBEnc Authoring Works 4.0. With so many video camera's doing AVCHD now, it would be great to be able to burn AVCHD DVD to use on Blu Ray players, without burning a Blu Ray disk. This works great with Nero's tools. It also allows to play on many computers, even without Blu Ray capability, but gives the top quality.

There is a work around for this.

See my message below...'Can you ouput AVHD to Other Disc Formats Bedides BD?'

*****************

Can someone help with explaining - why? and how to avoid this problem?

I would say unistall, clean the system with a prog like tuneup utilities, reboot, and reinstall.

and make sure you have up to date codecs.
