TMPGEnc can't open the audio side of an MKV so the final file goes without sound!!!

When the sound is 6 channel.
That is not good.

is there any fix for this? i also tried to convert mkv to avi and the output has no audio just an annoying sound

Hi there!

How does the performance setting in format stage (Fastest, Fast, Somewhat fast, Normal, Somewhat slow, Slow, Very slow) correlates - if at all - with the x264.exe --preset setting (ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo)? In x264.exe each of the respective options corresponds to a set of encoder options (see e.g. http://encodingwissen.de/x264/referenz). What are the encoder options for the performance setting in TVMW5?

Thanks,
Indy

Could we have a selection as Squeeze has to be able to set at the encoder that the file is 601 (16-235 levels) so it will be processed right.
As it is now it will remap the levels of 601 (assuming it is RGB) and the blacks are greys.

Could this request be passed to the team in some way?

When the QuickTime reader obtains the video format as YUV, the video will be handled as Compressed Range.

I think this is it!!!

Hi George, where does this sentence come from ? in the doc (where) ?
How do you work around it ?
In my case, I am stuck with 5.0.5.32: http://community.avid.com/forums/p/96567/618853.aspx#618853

That's from the revision history for the just-released update 5.2.3.66

Sverkalo, did the update fix the problem?

Does anyone know how to remove audio commentary from a "mkv" file using Video Mastering Works 5?
Thank You

Hi, i have Auth works 4 and was wondering if the offer of free Auth works 5 extends to existing customers of your product as there seems no mention o this in emails?

if not do we get anything?

Thanks in advance

My impresson is that it is free for folks who buy AW4 on/after Feb 24. Likely a paid upgrade for others
See http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/press/12_0224.html
FWIW AW4 was a $60 upgrade for prior version owners.

Well I can tell you one thing I bought my version of AW4 9 days before the 24th Feb and they won't budge on me asking if they will reduce the cost when the time comes that AW5 is out, It's not like I bought it 18 months ago seems a bit unfair.

Looks like a $59.95 upgrade for AW4 owners who bought prior to Feb 24.

I purchased mine almost the same day as you and feel the same way. I emailed them about my feelings and, as yet, have received no reply. From the bad reviews on this latest version I probably won't upgrade anyway.

"File Segment size" option good for Divx but is very good if this option add for all format.

I think TMGEnc video Mastering need "Automatic" option for some options for detect setting(video system,framerate,Aspect ratio,Display Mode) in formats.This is useful when import several clips with different information.

I want to convert clip with 30p(progressive) to 25p(interlace) but there is not frame blending option as same "Premier,Edius,Nero".
after converting in 3 first frames top/bottom fields are different an 2 next frames top/bottom fields are similar and this method repeat again for all frames but after converting with "Premier,Edius,Nero" with enable "frame blend" option top/bottom fields of all frames are different and motion of output is very good..
please add "frame blend" to TMPGEnc Video Mastering

Hi,
In the list of available presets for encoding, it would be very helpful if there was a catagory of presets for internet video, youtube, vimeo, etc HD,SD, etc

Not sure how useful that is since YouTube re-encodes the video when it's uploaded last time I checked. Just use one of the HD presets.

Version 4.0.12.42

I have a DVD with 1 track in 1 title, with numerous chapters. Changing it to each chapter in its own track.
Source DVD has been copied, with chapters of course, to dvddata file on HD.
Select the source for Track 1 as DVD drive, load the title, and remove everything except first chapter.
On Track 2, select the DVD as source, then cut off both ends, leaving only the 2nd chapter.

Problem is, each time I do this the response time to Source Wizard - From a DVD, BD,... gets slower and slower, until it takes so long I close Authoring Works and re-open it.

Can't rename the .dvddata file to .mpg, because I lose the chapter information.

Anything I can do about this?

Use the split clip function in the cut-editor window instead. Just split at each chapter point, click "OK", then choose to keep all clips (blue and orange). This will create separate clips of all your chapters which you can then drag n' drop into other tracks.

A friend wants some of my HDV video in AVCHD format, similar to his Sony HD camcorder output. What shoud I select as the output format?

I'm running a new system with i7-2600k @ 4.5GHz (Sandy Bridge) on win 7 x64 with 8GB ram, an Nvidia GTX560 card w/ 2GB memory, on an Asrock Z68 motherboard. I convert both MPEG2 and VC-1 files to MP4 with 5.1 sound for my home network video server. Any suggestions on best settings to use for good quality with best transcoding speed? (sources are either 720x480 or 1080p from DVD and/or blu-ray rips) The best I've been getting so far using a 720x480 source and same resolution output in x264 mp4 format is around 18 minutes to process a 2 hour movie. I have the intel HD grahics available, the cuda access, or straight cpu (with 4 core / 8 threads). Any thoughts on best settings for this?

Use Intel SDK Hardware.
The fastest one.

i have the exact system you have (great minds think alike)i've used version 4 for a while now with diferent systems and output speed now is great it would take me anywhere from 1.5 hr to 4hr per movie, now start to disk exit in 15 minutes is great i can't think of a faster system now of coures is technolgy gets better it will get faster but the system we have now this is great just keep the setup as you have it
