I am having a problem with my first authoring. The software reaches 14% completetion during a BD creation output then gives an invalid sample format error with the code 0x80048002. This video is from unedited clips recorded from a Panasonic HS300. All of the video is the same which is why I can't see why it randomly stops. I used a template for the menus and I do have BGM playing on the title page. I can go and look at the video that it has created and it stopped in a random area during my movie. After trying twice, it looks like it stopped at the same spot during the main movie creation but there is nothing special about this point in the movie. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am new to this and I don't really know where to start looking for a solution. Computer should be sufficient, i7 3.2, 6GB, TB's of space...
I wanted to add that I can create a BD project using the same area of the video that causes the crash in my larger project with no problems. It seems that even if I rearrange my clips so that what I thought the problem area is at a different location it still gives the error at the same place in time. It happens at 14% everytime.
I wanted to update that I have found a solution for the problem. I increased the size of my paga file to 10GB / 20GB first. This made the process work up to 17% instead of 14% and gave the (Not enough storage available to complete this operation error code 0x8007000e). DIfferent from my original problem. I found this strange since I have 1.5TB of free space on the working drive (also the drive that my page file lives on. It is a raid array. I also have 6GB of memory with nothing starting on startup (windows 7 64). My last attempt was to run the authoring in batch mode. The batch mode with no preview worked to full completetion!!! Sucess at last. I don't know why just increasing the page file size didn't fix the problem but it seems that using batch mode along with increasing the virtual memory (page file) worked fine. It took this machine (i7 3.2 quad, 6gb ram, raid 0) about 2 and a half hours to render about 21GB of BD movie... I hope this info can help someone else.
Ed, Don't know if you still check this site since the end of 2010, but I just used the Batch method to author a BD file, and (so far) it's working great!! I, too, received the "Not enough storage available..." error, even though I have 500Gb of space on the drive to which the BD files are being created.
I never would have thought of trying the Batch process (especially since this is a batch of one!). I'm not sure how to increase/decrease the size of my "Page File." Need to research that to even find out what that is. If you read this, I wouldn't mind knowing more about it.
Although I've made standard def DVD-Rs for years now, I'm just starting out with making HD DVR-s and Blu-Ray discs. MUCH easier the second time around (in spite of weird PC error messages!).
Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend!
So, I see that if you buy v.4 now you can get 5 for free when it becomes available. Does that means that folks like me who had the good sense to buy it a while back, april 2010, are stuck paying the upgrade fee?
I think one year of free upgrades is not asking too much. I've been chomping on the bit for mkv support so I'll probably pay the price, but I won't be too thrilled about it.
Industry practive is that major verion upgrades are not free except to those who buy the prior version on/after a certain cut-off date, typically about the time of the official announcement. The reason for this is in part to not discourage sales of product. Keep the revenue stream and prevent people jumping g to another product that might compete with the new release.
An exception is for software that is on a support license agreement (e.g., with annual payments) rather than just a one-time payment for a perpetual license, as is common with most software for PCs.
The people to feel for are thouse who bought Express 4 on January 4th. I am a bit surprised they did not set the cutoff date tot he date it first appearsed on the JP web page back in ~mid December.
I have two tracks and I want to create a menu page with a Play button(for track one), Chapter button (for track one)and play button for track two (no chapters) is this possible?
When you have chapter pages, you can't directly play the track from the top menu unless you select the Play All button, but that would play all of your tracks.
The closest you can get is to have a Chapter button for Track 1, and a Play button for Track 2, but you won't have a Play button for Track 1 on the top menu.

I´m using the latest version of Authoring Works, but I have a problem with a video.
Can I rotate the video in 180° with the software?
If yes, how?
thanks.
If your video is upside-down, then it might be a YUV decoding setting. This answer is from the TMPG knowledge base (this answer was for 4.0 XPress, but it can also be applied to Authoring Works 4):
Question: The source AVI file displays upside-down.
Answer:The codec used for each AVI file may be different. Check what kind of codec was used to create the AVI file then try the following.
1.Launch TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress;
2.Click the Options menu button located in the upper-right part of the main window;
3.In the menu, select the "Preferences..." option then, in the "Preferences" window, select the "Input/output format list"->"AVI settings" item in the tree list;
4.In the list of available codecs, double-click on the codec used by your AVI file then, in the "AVI codec settings" window uncheck the "Decode in YUV" option if checked.
Is there any way to add a logo with Authoring Works 4. If not then can anyone recommend a program to add a logo to DVD video without having to encode the entire video?
It's possible that the framerate actually is 29.97 internally but has a flag to play at 23.97 fps. TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 3 can't change framerates as far as I know, that's why the input file must already be compatible with your output format.
There was an issue in authoring works 4 where the software was outputting the incorrect frame rates. I sent the programmers the issue with documention and they correct the software dode. may be the same issue here.
Using Tmpg to resize avi's very succesfully and then one out of around 40, the audio disappears. I have the codecs on PC because it plays the original fine and audio shows up in settings/audio but isn't there in edit or on the output file
I am trying to create a dvd and when I click the Start Output button I get the following error message "Incomplete Cursor Link: The Top menu's "Top" menu group "Track" menu page button cursor link is incomplete."
I am not doing anything differently creating this project and this is the first time I've seen this error. What am I doing wrong?
Is this with a DVD with a custom menu? The "cursor link" is probably referring to the navigation links in your top menu. This is basically how your dvd remote navigates from one button to the other when you use the arrow buttons on the remote. These navigation links are completely editable in a custom menu and the error might be caused by a button not having enough navigation links to other buttons.
Go back to the Menu stage and select the top menu page. Go to the link editor and check the links for the track menu page button. Do this by clicking on the track menu button to select it. Small handles should appear on the four sides of the button's bounding box. Click and drag a handle to another button to link the two buttons.
Drawing a link from the bottom handle to another button means that in the DVD menu when you are on that button, pressing the down arrow on the remote will navigate to the other button. Hope that makes sense.
I had the exact same problem and this fixed it! Thanks, I never used the link editor before, just overlooked it. Where my problem came is I had made a few discs with different video clips on each but each one had almost the same menu, so I just edited it slightly each time. I went from having 4 clips on my track menu to 3 on the next disc and I moved the clip at the bottom left into the middle. This must have taken away the link from the 2nd clip to the 3rd clip. Once I drew an arrow to connect them again, it was fine!
I have been using TMPGEnc 4 for a few years importing several different video formats and sizes. All of a sudden I am starting to get this error message. > Not enough storage available to complete this operation (error code 0x8007000e)
I read a topic post that had a similar error message where the person was told that they actually really didn't have enough space - so I checked this out and just to see I changed my temporary output folder to my main disk drive folder which is telling me that I have around 30GB of free space which should be sufficient for a 4.7GB DVD output and I changed the final output folder to be saved in the same main disk drive folder aw well, but unfortunately, I got the same error code. Can someone please help? I have been trying to figure out what I did wrong even did a system restore to make sure - I can't figure out where I'm going wrong?
I'm new to TMPGEnc and I'm trying to take advantage of CUDA for filtering. I think I have it fully enabled and have done the performance optimization. I've added every filter under the sun and the encoding is still using 100% CPU and 0% CUDA. Are there certain input formats or output formats that CUDA is used for. The video I am trying to encode is AVC and I'm trying to encode as MPEG-4 AVC CBR high profile.
