Hi,
Starting a new project we just have pal dvd choice, no choice of 4:3 or widescreen. So if we want to put 4:3 footage into a widescreen format, or have widescreen recording and wish to make widescreen dvd, how is that done ? I have a custom video size and reckon widescreen may be better, as choosing PAL dvd sees it shrunk smaller than required and its unreadable.

Specifically, the "Choose the Right Track Settings" section.

I have done a region capture using Techsmith Snagit screen video capture and the size is 1436 wide x 856 tall (pixels) and at 7fps. Looks good played back on screen. If I make this into a dvd, as it is too big a file to email, what settings do I use? Choosing PAL dvd, gives me no options of 4:3 or 16:9, just cant see any choices anywhere. Where are they ? Surely we must be able to choose what type. Preview sees only part of the video show. I was recording a demo of how to do something in a program. When making the program window a suitable size on screen to record using Snagit's region capture, there is no way of knowing what the pixel size will be, and on my 1920px wide resolution monitor, making a program window a width to suit pal 4:3 or 16:9 is not something thats easy, and it would be stupidly small and impractical. Mine of 1436 was small enough !
Would I choose HD Widescreen ? even thats 1080 so not wide enough. I can see a bluray option so have just tried Bluray PAL and the recording fits the height and width with margins of black at sides, however that needs a 25Mb bluray disk to burn and the recipient may not have a bluray player.
Absolutely stuck ! Is there not a setting to bring in an odd size and fit it to a standard dvd format, prpbably pal 16:9 may suffice if I could find how to choose it !

When I choose 'play all' button, only videos from Track 1 play. How can I make that all videos from all tracks (I have 6) will play?

I made a custom DVD, all files (VOB, IFO) played separetely looks fine, but when I'm launching them as DVD, all I see is green screen on all pages. No thumbnails, no buttons, only videos and audios play fine. what could be the problem?

i forgot to mention that also I don't see anything during simulation, please help :(

MP4 video, Playback on wabsite need to wait until whole movie downloaded, Did I set something wrong setting in the format?

There is a checkbox for streaming video in the Advanced tab. You may need to switch to/use the "MPEG file output" format in the format selection screen because I don't think that option appears in the "MPEG-4 (AVC) file output" format.

GOT IT, THANK YOU!

I'm using TAW4 to quickly put some recorded shows to DVD, using just a top level menu - no chapter menus, and one of the templates that comes with it - "Samurai," I think it's calle. However, I would like to re-order the default order on the template to start with the first video item, not the default item that is first highlighted when the DVD starts up - "Play All" - which is at the bottom of the screen.

How do I do that? I see no control for that.

This is a problem that I did not have in ver. 4. Files compressed Quicktime DNxHD 220 (8 bit) show the colors very saturated. The same video compressed DNxHD 220x (10 bit) looks fine.

Quicktime DNxHD 220 videos (1080i 59.94) 29.97 fps upper field first are detected as 29 fps and most of the time as bottom first. In ver 4 frame rate detection was always right and field order rarely wrong.

I recently installed Video Mastering Works 5 on my Windows 7 (64bit) machine, and it worked fine -- took about the same time as TMPGEnc 4 to boot and initialize. Then I had a major system crash (power went out) while encoding a video. When I rebooted the computer, VMW5 now takes 5-10 minutes to start! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I've tried pointing VMW5's temp directory to a new, clean location. I even tried doing a Windows system restore to the morning before the power went out -- no luck.

Any ideas on why it is taking so long to load, and what to try next? Thanks.

I had a PAL dvd I wanted to convert to mpeg-2 NTSC. I used the same settings in TVMW5 that I have been using in v4 for years. When I brought the titles into Encore CS5 it said the files were untranscoded. Using the same settings, afaik, in V4 the titles did not have to be transcoded in Encore. All that was needed was to make the menu and create the dvd.

I tested this several times each time making sure that the settings were the same and each time got the same result.

Has anyone else run into this that kept V4?

Found the problem.

In the format section under Advanced Settings the first box needs to be checked. That's Output bitstream for editing (closed GOP).

Joe

Same problem with the same solution in NTSC ;)

Hello,

When openening .mkv file not all the frames are displayed on the timeline.
How can I change the settings for this?

grts

Same here very annoying. When I imported MKV in TMPGENC Xpress 4.0 there was non of these issues.

Hoi,

Answer from tmpgenc support:


In TXP4 there was a ** frame interval but at VM5 it became MPEG file
reader so it became I image frame interval.
That is why at Cut-edit player, in the thumbnails not all the frames are
displayed.
At Options > Preferences > Clip editing > User settings 1 > set 16 frame
interval.
Make right click over the screen and select Display settings > and
choose User setting 1 (... option, (see screen shoots).

Best regards

how do i made TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 make a sound when burning is completed like it did in version 3.0 ?

when using the source wizard and selecting a tv-recorded file to convert to MPEG-2 PS, when the conversion process starts and the re-multiplexing window pops up, it immediately says 100% but then hangs there for several minutes, still converting. the conversion still works in the end, but sometimes I'm not sure if it's still working or if the app simply crashed

I've noticed that as well. So far, it's never crashed on me, just had to wait for it.
