Was working fine for me for quite a while, now I get this error. Uninstalling/cleaning/re-installing does not help. Error can occur anytime during the process, but usually between 20%-30%. I have confirmed that the video files conform to MPEG/DVD specs. Any help would be appreciated.
I can use Xpress4 to make either a .mp4 file or .divx file that plays perfectly on a Samsung Tablet (or my sister's Nexus). BUT!!! none of the conversions using Video Mastering Works 5 will play the video portion on the tablets (audio only is available). I'm using the same .mp4 and .divx settings on each before the conversion. Why cannot VMW5 do the job?
In the menu editor, there are buttons at the bottom right corner of the screen that activate various views. One of them allows you to see the active area around buttons. Buttons that are too close or overlapping another button will be highlighted red.
I have 2 pages with track in my dvd.
Everything works perfect only 3 track won't.
This is i think because they are called USER ADDED ITEM instead of Thumbnail of Chapter or Name of Chapter.
How can i get them also working?
If you manually added a thumbnail to the menu, it won't do anything because there is no way to link it to a chapter/track.
If you have 3 tracks, it should automatically generate a thumbnail for that track and then you can edit it as you wish.
I have some .TS files that Smart Renderer 4 fails to render with the error message "Insufficient Memory to Continue Execution of the Program". Typically this error will appear exactly on the same frame of the file no matter what options in Smart Renderer 4 I change. I have 24 gigs of memory so should not be running out of memory. It only occurs with certain HD captures which I am trying to clip the front and tail ends from.
Hello,
I've been doing some test encodes in the trial version.
I set the dvd template and then modified it so:
Max bitrate from 9200 > 9000
min from 2 > 300 (with padding)
avg bitrate 6700 (1st attempt) 5600 (2nd attempt)
I find the resulting m2v files to be consistently 5 - 7 % undersized.
Why is it doing this? I though the whole point of 2-pass VBR is that
it can hit the target size accurately.
I don't think VBR will ever be totally accurate because the results depend on the content. If you want a truly accurate output size, then you must use CBR, since that looks only at the bitrate regardless of content.
Yes, I understand. But surely, the information gained during the first pass
tell the program everything about the content, complexity, compressibility,
etc,etc. IT *should* be possible to get closer to the target, than 5%.
Other encoders can do it.
Well, I'd say the file size estimate is the more inaccurate number since at that point, the software hasn't examined the video content yet. Maybe other software is better at guessing.
I also have noticed consistent undersizing of the encoded video.
Knowing this, I now generally use a more aggressive bitrate (e.g. slightly more than the expected output size)
In my opinion, it would be more problematic if the 2-pass encoding would cause oversized encodes (one would absolutely need to re-encode if e.g. the target disc size has been exceeded)
I've inserted my own background picture for a single page DVD menu. I have added fade in and fade out to the Background Picture Effects and selected Motion Menu. However, in Simulation motion, the menu neither fades in or fades to play.
Did you render the motion menu preview? I forget what the button is called, but you will need to render the preview in order to see what the motion menu will look like.
Will this software enable me to cnvert my video to these specifications? I'm new at this.
Stream Type: MPEG 2 or 4
Video Bit rate: 4-6 Mbps (CBR)
Frame rate: 29.97
Chroma: 4.2.0
Interlacing: Upper Field First/Progressive if MP4
Aspect ratio: 4:3
Width/ Height: 720x480
Audio Type: LPCM or MPEG1 Layer 2
Audio Channels: 2 Channels duel mono(mixed)
Audio Bit rate:192Kbps
Avg Audio Level: 20 Dbfs
You can do most of these. The only one I'm not sure of is the Chroma setting. I can't find it, but maybe it's because I'm not familiar with it.
For Avg Audio Level, there is a Volume Adjustment filter that lets you set a base audio level at a specific dB level.
All other settings are available in the format/output settings.
Hopefully someone can help me... will this software TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 5 BBS) help me to convert my video to these specifications?

I have a Samsung HMX-Q10 camcorder which records HD video in H.264/MP4 format. While attempting to put together a DVD of my videos in TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, I try to edit each video clip, but the preview playback only plays the first half second or so normally, and then it stops moving completely. The audio continues to play. It seems the program chokes on it. I can play the videos smoothly through Windows Media Player. I also have the latest version of Quicktime installed on my computer. I have the "low resolution" option checked, but the help says that may not work with certain video formats. It seems to make no difference, so I assume the H.264 is one of those exceptions.
I am running an AMD A4-4000 Richland 3.2GHz Dual-Core CPU, with 4GB of DDR3 1333 RAM. My main hard drive is a 1TB, 7200RPM w/64MB cache, SATA, 6GB/sec Western Digital. The videos reside on a secondary SATA drive.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to get the preview video to play back smoothly? I upgraded my computer JUST for the purpose of editing my HD home movies, so it is quite a bummer to find it still not working. Would upgrading to version 5 work? Or should I install a specific codec to decode the H.265 video faster? Would moving the video to the main hard drive be better? Thank you!
