Hello,
I would like to ask you if anyone knows how to disable or delete the transcoding engine in authoring works 4 because it is ruing my DVDs.I tryed using dvd author 1.6 but there is no option for subtitles.
Can you please help me .
Thanks
Hello
Thanks for your help but setting to target size none doesn't work.
Indeed it increase the file size.
Other thing which is that i got an error (from a DVD which i bought and wanted to test the software with)it gives me a bit rate 10320.It tells me the max is 9800.So it tells me that it wont work.
How come a factory DVD is not going to work when i watch it every day?
But the most important problem still is the re encode /trans coding process.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
I am sorry i was not so clear.Here is the data:
Input
720/576 Dolby DTS 4:3 PAL
Output
720/576 Dolby DTS 4:3 PAL/SECAM
i have tested the software and the dvd was ready for 16min(dvd movie lenth 1Hour 3min.)
It Did not show on the preview box which means it did not re encode but when i checked the Output folder the sizes of the dvd vob files were changed(800kb less).
Can you actually tell a difference in video quality though? 800kb is not a lot, and it sounds like it didn't re-encode anything. If the video quality hasn't degraded, then I don't think you should worry.
Dear TKRAVE,
I would like to ask you another question.
I am trying to make a menu but it seems complicated for me.Can you help me with that.Here what i want it to be:
When insert dvd to show main menu(which to have botons for "Play video";"Choose Episode";"settings" "chapters")
When you click on
"play video" i want it to play the entire dvd all series/episode.
"choose title/episode" to go to another menu where inside i want to have the botons "title 1" and "title 2"
When click on any of this titles boton to play the title .
"settings" to open menu where to choose subtitles "subs on" and "subs off"
when click on either of them to just to main menu.
"chapters" to choose from which chapter to start
One thing i dont want is to see chapter links on the menu just in a separate menu.
I have tried few combinations but i always get chapters in my menu and dont get a menu to choose title.
Can you help me with that.

I am trying to take standard def DVD files edited in womble, import them into TMP Authoring Works 4 to put in the menu structure and then output the project to blue ray since the file size is about 13 gigs. I do not get an option to output to blue ray in the options across the top of the program, my only option is for DVD. I can set the file size to none so that the program will save it to file; however, I can't get this to write to Blue Ray (either from within TMP or with Power Producer 5 ultra) due to incorrect file structure for Blue Ray. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
You need to select your output format in the Start stage, before you begin importing your video. Once you begin your project, you won't be able to change output formats unless you start a new project.
Not really in the sense that you can't move things around that are already there.
Here's some things you can do though (with the premade templates):
-Change fonts, font color, size, and style for any editable text.
-Add non-functioning menu items such as images, text.
-Change highlight colors.
-Change the thumbnail image for tracks/chapters.
-Add effects to any menu item.
-Add background music.
You have to activate motion menus first. In the Menu stage, click on the global menu settings button, then go to the motion menu tab. There should be an option to have background music (bgm) and/or motion backgrounds. Activate the option you want and set the duration, then click "OK" to confirm.
Back in the menu editor, double-click on your background to open the background editor window. There should be a tab for background audio. Here, you can select a file to use as your background audio.
I have two overlapping clips that I want to seamlessly merge together into one clip. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to best do that besides just using trial and error where you find an overlap point and visually try to have the 2nd clip start one frame after where I end the first one?
Hi I have setup pop-up menus for my Bluray movie and they work perfectly in simulation mode. How do I access these pop-ups from my remote? I'm using 7MC with TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum tp play Blu ray from hard drive and I cannot find out how to make pop-up menus pop up? Thanks
I think this should be in the Authoring Works 4 forum, but anyway...
Is your remote made for blu-rays? Typically there is a button specifically for Popup menus. If your remote was designed for DVDs, it may not have a dedicated popup menu button.
Total Media Theatre's software remote doesn't have a popup menu button either it seems (i'm just using the trial), but it appears you can access the popup menu with the keyboard shortcut ctrl+u, or you can click on the menu button and select the popup menu.
Yes, it can read DVD Author 2 and DVD Author 3 project files. However, there's no guarantee that the menus will behave exactly the same.
If you used pre-installed templates or menu items from TDA2 or TDA3, it will try to use the same templates/items if it exists in TAW4. If you used a template that doesn't exist in TAW4, I think it will convert it to a different template.
If you choose to buy TAW4 and use the upgrade option, then it will render your TDA3 license useless. However, using the User Discount option will let you keep your TDA3 license.
Hello, I've recently upgraded my CPU from Intel C2D E6420 to C2Q Q8400 and the problem that I experience is that with the old CPU TAW4 utilized 100% CPU and with the new one it utilizes only 40-50%. I checked my program preferences and everything looks correct - one physical cpu with 4 cores...all instructions checked. I have no idea what would have caused the problem...
My computer specifications are:
Asus P5K Deluxe
Intel C2Q E8400
4GB DDR2 800MHz
ATI Radeon HD4870
RAID0
Win7 x64
A couple of weeks ago I posted a question about mp4 files - how to avoid that TMPEGEnc Authoring Works (TAW) turns pitch black color into white. No one has answered. But now I've learned that TAW is inferior when it comes to handling mp4 files, and I've learned how to do it: First convert the mp4 to mpeg or VOB with Free Video Converter (FVC), and then import the mpeg or VOB file into TAW. (Either ignore the VOB warning in TAW, or rename the VOB to mpg first.) Added bonus: It took 16-17 hours (!) for TAW to convert a 5 GB mp4 file to DVD output. FVC converted it to VOB in just 2 hours, and after that it took only 1 hour for TAW to convert it to DVD.
