I would like to know if there's a way to overlap 2 video for few seconds and getting sound of both as mix effect?
Ex:
Video #1 = 4 min.
Video #2 = 3.5 min.
So what I want to do is to create a transition of 3sec at 3.57 of Video #1 and Start Video #2 during transition at 3.57 too and get both soundtrack playing one over the other!
Add a transition effect and the audio will overlap along with the video. In other words, the audio from video #1 will fade out at the same rate the video transitions to the next video, overlapping with the audio from the next video which will be fading in.
I am testing out TMPGEnc Mastering Works 5 and am trying to convert an AVI to an MP4 and it takes 20 minutes to render a 5 minute file which has audio, but the video is just white.
TMPEG 4 Xpress was so rock solid, I never had any issues doing anything.
But I need to be able to generate h264 mp4 files for a large project, and this isn't going to work.
I've tried different settings, but so far I'm not having any different results.
Any thoughts?
The system is running XP, with an Pentium 4 3.4GHz and 2GB of ram.
I know this is old, but it should still be sufficient.
I've used DVD Author 2.0 successfully for years with an HP and LG disc burner and XP SP3 OS. About 2 weeks ago, DVD Author quit recoginizing DVD+/-R discs reporting that there is insufficient space on the disc when I tried to write discs. Tried Memorex, HP and other disc types; nothing works. I am able to read DVD video into DVD Author 2.0 with the same equipment and using other disc writing software (AVS DVD Copy), I can write to the same discs without any issues. Does not appear to be a hardware problem and am thinking there might be a software conflict with an XP patch or other software. Have tried reloading DVD Author 2.0, deleted and reloaded the disc drivers, erased high and low filters in the registry all with no luck. I downloaded a trial version of DVD Author 4.0 and it seemed to work fine. I prefer the layout of Author 2.0 and don't want to upgrade if I don't have to. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks.
I'd like to be able to build a DVD menu where it would play a chapter, and then just return to the chapter menu rather than moving automatically from one chapter to the next. Is this possible?
Here's my situation: My wife is a school teacher and her students make videos for various projects. I would like to be able to create a DVD with different titles, or tracks, for each project. For example, one project might be "commercials", another might be "South American Counties". So my top menu would display each project as a different track.
Within each track I might have 6-12 or so different small clips, each clip being one group's video. These would so up as separate chapters. But I want to play just one chapter, then return to the menu. I don't want to play all the chapters at once.
Is there a way to do this? I love what I see so far, but I need this feature, or this software won't work for me.
Hi all, I've tried the spurs engine plugin and it works very well with my firecoder blu card, but I ask more settings/optimizations like better scene change detection scene and better bitrate accuracy. Constant quality or quantization like x264.
The encoder is very fast but in some fast scenes, it produce some visible "block".
Maybe the problem is solvible with "slow" analisys picture per second, slow performances, using slice process, intra or bidirectional encoding. Editable matrix like JTV is not bad idea.
I ask a bit more quality with lower bitrates.
have a Blackgold PCI TV tuner card. I have been recording Freeview HD (DVB-2T) files using windows media centre to wtv format. When I import them into the program for editing and conversion, it says that there is no audio in the file, although it plays perfectly on the computer, so somehow the audio format is not being recognised.
I believe TVMW5 can only import WTV files encoded with MPEG-2 video and MP2 audio. I'm guessing yours is MPEG-4 AVC video and AAC or Dolby Digital Plus audio. I'm not sure why TVMW5 can only import MPEG-2 WTV files. If you can somehow take the video and audio streams out of the WTV container, you should be able to import them into TVMW5.
Is there any way you can post a short sample recording for me to try? All of my WTV files are MPEG-2 encoded, so if yours are indeed MPEG-4 AVC encoded, I'd like to see what I can do with it.
As the title suggests, Is it possible to cut sections of a dvd and save without re-encoding?
I find that i never get thats same "pop" when i save wmv's from original dvds and the quality is never what i think is as good - i even encode at 8000k
Ideally I'd like to use the source wizard to import the dvd and the timeline to crap the part i want and then to save that part without re-encoding
Unfortunately, no. TVMW5 doesn't have smart rendering. TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 and TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 can cut DVD-Video without re-encoding though.
Spent so much money on this product, and some basic things are still missing.
I am very disappointed by its processing speed, and x264 encoding is much, much slower than other implementations like the free handbrake.
secondly, I cannot understand not implementing smart rendering. Why? Can't be that hard.
I am trying to encode a blu-ray folder that has DTS audio as its audio format. TVMW doesn't support this. A Pegasys support person told me to disable the MPEG file reader in the input plug-ins as this defaults TVMW to use directshow to read the files.
However, files loaded up still contain no decodable audio, and the support person said I should find an appropriate codec. Windows Media Player can play the audio fine, so I assume directshow has the right plug-in available.
Can anyone help with the import of the DTS or DTS-HD MA audio?
OK. I tried what you said and it does work - you get the audio presented as 5.1 sound. However, by using .mkv as the container format the subtitles are not presented. The real reason for using TMPGEnc for this encode was to get the DTS sound and also to keep the subtitles as the film is a foreign language film.
Is there any way to make the workaround work with subtitles?
I like the software, but having no way to put the watermark or logo to the video makes it even souls are burning editing software
hopefully one day bring that option
You CAN put a watermark on your video if you use the timeline editing mode.
Once in the timeline editor, create a layer above your video layer and add a clip. Instead of adding a video file, add your logo image. Make sure it has a transparent background to make it look extra good. Once it's in the timeline, resize it and position to your liking. You can also change the opacity so that it's transparent. Add fade-in/fade-out effects if you want it to disappear/appear.
First Page. Just a Play button and a special features button. Press play and the clip should play. When I press special features it should go to page 2 and there will be three buttons there to play three clips. After each play it should come back to page 2. How can this be done. It perplexing when you put each clip in a separate track, you get 4 different track menus. I want them all on one page. If I gang the three clips into one track then all of them play instead of playing separately and then coming back to the menu. I don't need a thousand track pages just trying to get one.
While not a specific answere to your question, to my mind, AW4 behaves differently from other authoring products. Instead of adding things to a menu, you start with a maxed out menu and remove the things you do not want. Once I internalized that concept, it became easier to build projects quickly, but it takes practice.
>When I press special features it should go to page 2 and there will be three buttons there to play three clips. After each play it should come back to page 2.
This sounds similar to what I'm looking to do with chapters playing, then returning to menu. Most DVD programs that I've found just can't do this. For things like feature films this makes sense. Who would want to just watch one chapter of a movie? But for a lot of us who fiddle around with making DVDs for personal use or (in my case) for a school, having this ability is very important.
The funny thing is, I've got an old, old version of Power Producer from Cyberlink. It has the option of playing a clip, then returning to menu, or to play continuously (clip, after clip, after clip).
It's odd to find a feature in just an old product that doesn't seem to be available in any new software. If anyone knows of a current program that can do this, I'd love to hear about it.
Clip and chapter are differnt things. Every clip has at least one chapter - at the start of the clip. You can add more chapter points in the clip. Chapter points allow one to navigate/jump within a clip. To automatically navigate back to the menu from the end of a chapter you probably need to make the chapter correspond to a clip, not just a piece of a clip.
Hi.
Recently installed a clear qam tuner card and Beyond TV creates an MPEG-2 transport stream when recording. How do I re-encode this to either an MPEG1 or Mpeg2 file? Mastering works 5 doesn't find any usable files in any mode, From files, recorded TV etc. Thanks for any help
