I'm trying to create a PAL DVD from a 25fps avi file with pcm audio. Everything is fine through the start/source/simulation flow. When I try to create the DVD I get an error "No stream available. (error Code 0x80048001)"
Any ideas what might be wrong ?

Turn off the motion for thumbnails in the chapter section.
You can find it in the "global dvd settings -> motion" and then just uncheck thumbnails.
It definetly worked for me!

Just downloaded a trial version (4.4.2.238) and installed it. I cannot start a "New Project" because of the error. Running XP SP1. What is missing?

I have the same problem on WinXP SP2...
Hope someone replies with an answer..

Regretfully, we haven't heard one reply from anybody including TMPGEnc Support.
Therefore I uninstalled mine and shall pursue other options.

yeah seems the lab rats at tmpgenc didnt actually do any checkign before releasing this verison becuase as you can tell it was shafted as soon as you try anything.

This same thing is happening to me. I've reinstalled this thing 3 times already, and nothing works.

Hi,

is there any possibility to stop an authored DVD movie with the end of each chapter (without jumping to a menu)?

The Movie should stop at the last keyframe of eacht chapter, so that it continues after the user goes on to the next chapter.

We are using 4.0 to encode our videos to HD wmv videos for web. We start with a .mov file created in Final Cut Pro on a Mac and after the video is encoded it ends up being noticably lighter than the original footage. Is there any reason that this is occuring that I am missing?

Thanks for your help.

I have this feeling you viewed the end item via quicktime, if so DONT as for some stupid reason it lightens any video, try viewing it via vlc player or medeia classic player etc.

I downloaded the "TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 with DivX® Authoring Menu Templates" looking for something a bit different than what came with my purchase of DVD Author. I found one that almost works perfectly in this package http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/template/tda30_template3.html (The Autumn Moon template).

The only issue with this is the placement of the preview and chapter links. I'd like to move them, but all these items are showing as locked.

Can they be unlocked so they can be moved? If so, how?

Unfortunately, the premade menu templates can't be edited. :(

Can anyone suggest a way to create or edit the backgroung/button template files?

I have 2 DVI clips ' Flrida trip march 2007 and Florida trip October 2007

I have sucessfully created a Menu, keeping the 2 clips seperate so that I can choose which one.

I have also created 'Unseen chapter breaks' as i'm burning to DVD+R DL

Flrida trip march 2007 (has 17 chapters)

Flrida trip october 2007 (has 38 chapters)

Now I have sucessfully got everything working

But When I choose the first option Flrida trip march 2007 when this clips ends i want it to return to Title Menu' so that i can choose the second clip Flrida trip october 2007

Yet It wont.. It continues into the next clip, as the movie slider has incorperated the clips together (with chapters), even though they are 2 seperate DVI clips with Menus.

If I choose Flrida trip October 2007 its goes to the Title menu but not with Flrida trip march 2007 . I have looked in GLOBAL DVD SETTINGS and I can't see any options.

I have also used the arrow settings so that clip 1, does't go to clip 2, but its not working

Please Help

Are they in two separate tracks in the Source stage? Check to see if your clips are in the same track, if they are, you need to add a track and then drag the second clip into it.

Hi - - I'm having a problem with tx4, but I get nothing, when I click on the board link.
Perhaps, someone can answer this question here?
I have a video with srt subtitles.
They load fine, in the subtitles filter.
But some of the subs have italics command (<I> & </I>), and when tx4 transcodes, it has the commands over the video, rather than actually making them italics.
Is there any fix for this... or any suggestions?
I was going to edit the commands out, but there were just too many.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks very much!!

I recorded a show from television and used TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.1.1.174 to cut commercials and put on a disc.
When I watched the disc, there was no closed caption.

I had to redo it with my old TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6.26.73. When I watched the disc after using the old version, the closed caption was there.

Can anyone tell me why there was no closed caption when I used the TMPGEnc DVD Author 3.1.1.174? And how I can fix the problem?

Thank you.

did you get an answer to your question about closed captioning?

NO! I have never received an answer to the closed captioning question.
When I import a show from dvd-rw, the first screen always says no subtitle.
I don't want a subtitle, I want closed caption.
When I import the same show from dvd-rw, using TMPGEnc DVD Author v1.6.34.89,I
always have the closed caption.Why?
Can you help?
Thanks

>did you get an answer to your question about closed captioning?

No, I never have. Can you help?
I don't mean sub-titles, I mean closed caption.
TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 always says there are no sub-titles anyway.

Only TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6.34.89 always keeps the closed caption.

I want to press the button 1 of my remote control to go to chapter 1 and remote button 2 to go to chapter 2 and so on ............ till 99.

How to achieve this ? Any help is appreciated.

Load Source file as normal

Sorry about that Load source file as normal. Once in Clip addition i.e. clip propertises. Next tab Cut edit @ top select. On the next screen just above (bottem right) cancel there is an icon. check it a menu will be displayed select Keyframe tool. Its easy after that.

I want to take a DVD and edit out the bits I do not want including audio.

I tried with DVDshrink reauthoring but it was not very precise particularly the sound part. Will TMPGenc edit or authoring be best?

Thank you choco8l for your prompt reply. Version 3 seems very inflexible compared to 1.5. I recorded five episodes given on the same evening of 'Red Dwarf' and using Ver. 3 I transfered them to hard disk. Unfortunately version 3 didn't allow me to split the recording into five titles by editing. The first track could be edited but the hard disk copy was not recognized by the program when further tracks were added. Multiediting of the same video is a task which is readily done by version 1.5. Is there any way around this?

Splitting one large file: Use TMPGEnc DVD Auth (TDA) OR TMPGEnc DVD Source Creator (TDSC) Steps are similar but the concept is EXACTLY the same.

In either utility right after you add the one big file, right click on it & choose to Duplicate (to make copy) make as many copies as there are episodes. You would have to know your file really well to know where the episodes start if you don't ther typically is some sort of brake/interval/blackscreen inbetween. Now click on Edit & in the window that pops up along the bottom click the button "Select Start Frame" then drag the slider right under the vid file to where the 1st break/title/episode ends & click the button "Set End Frame" now go to the big square button (Above "cancel") and click on it ... u will get a few options from which you would choose "Cut Unselected Parts" Then Clik "Ok" Repeat steps with all clips each thime setting the "Set In Frame" & "Set End Frame" where you want the one big file to be split.

A> If you use TDA Add enough "tracks" for all your seperated clips & move one to each, in succession that u want them to play. To make a menu or not is up to your preference. If you do make a menu there is an option for the resulting DVD to return to Top Menu AFTER each clip plays or to keep playing non stop.

B> If you use TDSC the last Tab of the utility (Output)will show a drop down box & give you the option to output all the files in one folder or seperately.


Just posting this in your reply to avoid making ANOTHER post .... lol


K so now to the question I had posted about creating a 2 Pg Menu - does No One Know how to do this ??!!

I've just upgraded to TE40 and am really missing the TE25 Sharpen Edge Filter.

Why has this been dropped, is it available as an add-on, or when will it be available? Neither of TE40's sharpen filters come any where near to being as useful as TE25's Sharpen Edge.

Peter

try looking at the contour filter, its basically yhr same thing, plus there are other filters hidden just press the add button which will bring up another window for the filters
