I'm attempting to create a bluray disc using a M4V file which is 27GB.

Authoring works states the file is to large to fit onto a 25GB BD-R so I've set the target media size to 25GB.

However, when the BDVM folder is created the bluray discs is reduced to 12GB and the picture quality isn't a patch on the original file.

I expected Authoring Works to encode the BDMV to fill a whole disc not half of the disc. It certainly did this with Authoring Works 4 when using 1080i MPEG 2 files.

I've tired varying the encoding settings but I can't get Authoring Works 5 to encode the bluray to more than 12GB with noticeable inferior picture quality to that of the original, even when using slow and very slow encoding options.

I have also tried to set a custom target size to 22GB but this still didn't work and resulted in a BDMV of 12GB.

The bitrate on the original file is around 25Mbps and the file encoded by Authoring Works is 12Mbs. Can this be increased to improve picture quality and fill the BD?

At present my only workaround is to use 50GB BD-R and apply no re-encoding in Authoring Works or re-encode the original source file in Premiere CC so it will fit on a 25GB BD. However, before I do this can anyone provide a solution for Authoring Works.

The source video file is 25fps M4V running just over 2 hours.

Maybe recode in TMPGencVMW to under 25GB?

You can manually set the bitrate in the Source Stage-->Track settings. It may take some trial and error to get it to your ideal output size, however.

Each track has its own bitrate settings, so you could lower the bitrate more on less important stuff, for instance.

Mt preview display window has gone grey and will not display any video file when editing - the sound is there.

I've double clicked to reset it to default, but still the same.

Unfortunately, I see that detecting .srt subtitle tags (italic/bold etc.) has not been implemented once again. A pity. It's quite an expensive upgrade so I don't think I'm convinced yet. 10-bit support is great, 4K/8K useless for most home users, and the new skin/UI is appalling. Please consider adding the .srt tags.

A command error occurred: [Command =55]

Is it possible with TVMW6 to encode 24fps stream to 25fps by speeding up the stream. Until now I used Grass Valley’s Procoder and all encoded videos are perfectly fluid without jerking every 24 frames. All modern TV sets as well as state of the art Splash player use amazing motion compensation function and unfortunately videos encoded by adding an extra doubled 25th frame looks awfully.

Thanks

Unfortunately, frame rate conversion with TVMW5 and 6 sucks. Resulting video is extremely jerky. It seems not much has changed in version 6 in this area.

Is it possible to navigate from track menu to track menu? I have an instructional video with 24 chapters. If I split the video into three tracks, I can then set up a track menu with 8 chapter points. I would like to set up a button on each track menu page that would go to the next (or previous) track menu. The reason for this structure is to avoid the issue of having a multipage track menu. It seems that when you have a multipage track menu, when playing the video, the 'track' button will always return you to page 1 of the multipage menu. I am trying to set it up so that the 'track' button, will return you to the page where the chapter point exists.

I'm trying to add audio to a video and the program says it won't open file because there is no video. How do I work around this issue? Thanks

It's been a while since I used the program, but I think you can add the audio file from the clip properties tab in the clip edit window. Basically, you will be replacing the audio in the video with the audio from your audio file.

Hi, can anyone tell me if I can import TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5
project file into TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6

Thanks

Yes you can. The following message will come up: http://someimage.com/5dNPCL6

Haven't tried importing a project but I assume it'll work fine. If you have many and complex v5 projects, just install the fully working free v6 Trial, test it and let us know.

(Oh, the spelling in that prompt... come on guys, fix it).

Also remember that v6 has removed a few features from v5 (check the product's webpage/details). If your project uses any of that, the conversion will obviously run into trouble.

I just noticed this in the US trial:
*H.264/MVC 3D data support limited to the left channel
What is the reason that there isn't H.264/MVC export along with the import?

Thanks

Jerry

Let's begin our journey to the new "6" world.
Announcing the upcoming release of the successor to TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5,
English version of TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6.

Preview trial version released today!
The download version will be released on May 13th, 2015.

----------------------------------------------------
The Concept
----------------------------------------------------
We at Pegasys think it's very close to the next era where people will view video in 4K & 8K in their everyday lives. This is what determined our next mission, which is to provide a new tool that makes it possible to edit and create 4K and 8K movies easily for any videographer.
This is the concept, and what strongly motivated us to develop a powerful encoder tool as the next generation of video mastering works.

----------------------------------------------------
The new software supports 8K video output with H.265/HEVC, and features newly added powerful functions.
----------------------------------------------------
TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 features support for many input and output formats, detailed parameter settings, fast and precise cut-editing, video format conversion, compression, material creation, and much more. This is the high-quality encoding choice of video enthusiasts - this is TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6.

The brand new "6" supports "HEVC" output - a new format for the 4K and 8K generation, and 10-bit 4:2:2/4:4:4 H.264/AVC output. The simplified GUI uncomplicates the encoding process and settings, while the newly added automatic bit-rate calculator and other new functions reduce the work hours for editing and output. Newly featured filters such as Chroma Key and Timelapse allow for more creativity. Improved Timeline Edit Mode makes video creation and editing even easier. This is the ultimate progression of the all-in-one solution concept and enhances the productivity of a wide range of users from consumers to prosumers.

Let's begin our journey to the new "6" world.

Try TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 6 today and have a great weekend!

Just trying the trial and you've made some quite nice internal changes (much better panel use, new formats etc.). But... what's up with that new flat skin? Oh, it's awful and a huge step backwards from the previous version (which I think was worse than v4 but not this bad). Take a look at the start/welcome screen below, feels like it's coming from a ZX Spectrum. Please improve this, no need for yet another company to follow Microsoft's 'Metro' style failure of a trend.

Love version 6, Love the fact you now have DivX HEVC, Hate the fact that Video Master Works 6 does not support Dolby Digital With DivX HEVC like Rovi and Main Concept Total Code software actually does!

Who the hell have design this v6, it look garbage!!! WHAT $122 just encoder. good luck (pegasys).

So May 13th is here and video mastering 6 is a no show. Not a good way to get started.

Still no upgrade to buy !?

Here in germany its the 14th may...(want to purchase the english version).

+1 I want to upgrade, but not possible
date announced was a joke?
especially as why until 13 May, when for several days trial version works

I made some HEVC encodes from my H.264 MP4 ultraHD files. It took 10X real time and the GPU (GTX970) was not used at all. I had the cuda enabled and optimized. So, as I understand it there is no hardware acceleration for HEVC in the program? I have a Haswell 6 core CPU with 32Gb RAM.

I found out that my CPU has not the Intel Quick video sync or HD Graphics driver for no understandable reason. I managed to speed up the encodes to 4X real time in the FORMAT section. If I get a CPU with 4th or 5th gen HD Graphics, will the hardware acceleration for HEVC work?

First impressions regarding encoding speed and use of NVENC and Intel Quick Sync facilities.

My system is Windows 8.1 64 bit Professional.
16 GB RAM.
3 1TB HD
Geforce GTX 660.
Core i7 3770 (4000 Intel HD graphics)
Encoding H264 (Blu-ray and Mpeg4) from DVD files (720x576 resolution)

1) Blu-ray file quality encoding time using Intel QSV is AT LEAST twice the
time using TMPGEnc Video Authoring Works 5, which I also use in this system.

2) It DOES NOT use NVENC for serious encoding (Blu-ray etc). According to my opinion this is a VERY SERIOUS flaw and should be rectified ASAP. I was SO surprised by it, that at first I thought your software COULD NOT detect my discrete graphics card.

3) For not serious encoding, using NVENC is slower than competitive software producing H264 Blu Ray quality production using the same file.

Conclusively, despite the obvious and very positive changes of the interface and all added features, the conversion speed and limited graphic resources usage is a seriously limiting factor.

Another useful feature that has not been implemented: "audio pass-through", meaning that when encoding a video file with audio, audio will have to be either re-encoded (even if it's already of bad/medium quality) or not encoded at all. The user will have to mux everything back increasing encoding time significantly.

Following my negative comments, I'll add a positive one. A higher quality deinterlacer has been added to v6, which is indeed excellent news and performs very well.

We have 4 Samsung tablets, including their new 10.5 inch model. None of the files generated by VMW5 in .mp4 or .MKV files will play on any of these tablets. When I contacted Samsung they state that any quality video editing tool files in either format will work on any of their tablets. Its interesting that .mp4 files I generate by an old, old version of 4Xpress will play on all of our tablets.

To do any commercial work today in the hugely expanding Tablet market absolutely requires .mp4 and .MKV files (among others). Pegasys can't be that out of touch not to support the tablet market -- or are they????

Which output format do you select? Hardware compatibility greatly depends on that and the various settings concerned. I don't know your tablets (check their capabilities and format compatibility/restrictions) but try the MPEG-4 (AVC) file output.There is also the Mobile and portable device MPEG file output with several presets.

The ability to produce .mkv files for Samsung tablets is there, it's just buried in the .mpeg listing. Clicking on MKV files and then have the ability to choose methods is just (for some strange reason) not included. Using the "MKV choice" is simply confusing.

To format a video for a Samsung Tablet (includes the 10,5 inc) use the following:

when ready to format Choose "mpeg file out put" (under generic formats), click on this and choose "output stream format" scroll down to mp4.
set the screen to 1920x1080, process the file and enjoy the HiDef screen.
On one of our Samsung 10.5 tablets I have a 256 gb memory card and have loaded 65 full length movies and 87 video sound clips. Works GREAT..

Using TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5

I want a main page w TITLE and TRACKS.
The idea is for this main page to PLAY ALL (playu main title) or jump to the track page where tracks can be selected.

I am choosing a TRACK MENU TEMPLATE.
I set the chapter marks and name them scenes 1, scene 2 etc
I add all motion options and sound etc

When I go to simulate I only see 1 chapter on the tracks page.
Where are all the thumbnails and how do I get to the chapters (the thumbnail "links") to each chapter?

Am I doing something wrong in menu wizard or the initial clip editing stages?
