I have some standard definition DV-AVI files. I want to encode to MP4 files with LPCM or Dolby Digital audio, and then burn to a Blu-Ray disc 25gb.
The "Blu-Ray Standard MPEG" output seems to only output MPEG-2 files. So I tried selecting "MPEG-4 AVC file output", but this only supports AAC audio, which Blu-Ray discs don't support.
So how do I encode MPEG-4 AAC video and Dolby Digital audio, that is compliant with Blu-Ray standard?
can someone tell me exactly how they were able to fix this MKV import problem? i have the latest codecs and all, since i did a system re-install i can no longer import mkv files...when i was using it before i did not have this problem..
1.Install K lite codec pack
2.Run Win7DSFilterTweaker (Start>All Programs>K lite codec packs>Tools)
3.Look 32 bit decoder side.Check H.264 and ffdshow below then apply
For a while my Authoring 4 works great, but suddenly ( i mst have changed something i can't remeber ), it stops working. When i fire up the program and select "Start a new project", i get the message "Can not find the class (0x8004800B)".. does anybody knows whay this means, or where i gone wrong? I like the program very much, my wife to...... and it's either this or explain to here how AfterXF work....... please guys, you cant do that to me :S
As I understand it, CUDA support in 4.0 XPress is mainly for filter processing (deinterlacing, sharpen, color correction, etc.), not encoding.
Since Authoring Works 4 doesn't have the filter functions that 4.0 XPress has, the developers would have to start from scratch and utilize CUDA for MPEG encoding to make it worthwhile.
I'm not sure if that's really the reason, but it could be a possible reason.
you are actually correct in this matter and its because im suffering with a cold that i totally forgot about reading cuda facts with tmpgenc.
it is the reason work doesn't deal with cuda because cuda is most effective with filters especially if you are using the video noise and multiple video adjustments.
I use TAW (german) on Vista with the most actual patches and SPs. PC is a C2D E8500 with 4 GB RAM.
Since I use TAW I tried to install the free template-packs published by Pegasys, but every time I start the installer, a metallic grey window with no text appears and can only be killed via taskmanager. Even waiting an hour or more does not lead to an installed template-pack.
Are you installing the German template packs or the English ones? They are language-specific. You'll need to go to the German page and use the ones from there:
i got error message during output process says
there is no enough space on the disk . (error code 0x80070070)
while i have enough space on the disk but and i have done many project with no problems .
i have TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, vista business .
can anyone help solving this problem.
thanks
It's true, you don't have enough space. I've already run into this problem myself.
In your TMPGEnc Authoring program:
1.) click the "Options" button at the top right.
2.) select the "Preferences".
3.) select "Work folders" at the left of this new window that pops up.
4.) on the right, make sure the location of the "Temporary files folder" has enough space* for your project.
*If you you are creating a DVD file, then you should have twice the size as the size of the DVD you are authoring (single DVD of 4.7 GB means you need about 9 GB of free space), and if you are creating a DivX file, then you should have roughly an extra Gigabyte of space (with 4 GB file make sure your drive has total 5 GB free space.
Of course, the important thing to make sure is where your "Temporary files folder" is located, and might as well make sure where your "Output" is located, this is found in the "Work folders" as well.
I'm trying to create a simple DVD menu, but can't quite get the result I want.
All I want to do is create a single menu page for two movie files with a launch button for each file. So far, so good.
However, when either movie file has played, I want the DVD to return to the menu, and not play the next movie. This is the part I can't achieve. The answer must be simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.
I'd tried setting the track playback action you suggested before I posted the question, but I just can't get the thing to return to the menu after the first movie has played. As far as I can see, I'm doing the right thing, but it won't do what I want it to do.
I think I've spotted a problem when looking at the structure of the authored DVD. There are two movies, "The Wedding" and "The Reception" but the file structure appears like this:
VTS_01_0.VOB (the menu)
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
It seems the two movies have been merged into one movie with a scripted chapter break between the two.
Doing the same thing with Nero produces this file structure:
VTS_TS.VOB (the menu)
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_02_2.VOB
The two movies are kept separate, and when "The Wedding" ends it returns to the main menu.
It's so frustrating. TMPGEnc is a much better program than Nero, but for some reason I can't get it to perform this one simple task.
Using tmpgenc 2.525 free trial.
I ripped a disc containing 100 or so individual vob files and proceeded to do a batch conversion outputting each file as seprate m2v and wav files (deinterlaced-with noise reduction.)
At the end of the process, ALL of the vobs under 1MB in size produced a 32kB m2v/ 7KB wav ; tmpgenc says conversion successful, but the m2v and wav is blank/empty. All of the other vobs above 1MB worked fine.
Perfoming a conversion not in batch mode produces the same results.
I skimmed the FAQ but im not sure how to word my query.
Anyone have any ideas?
I am fairly new to the world of encoding. I have been following some guides to convert my blu rays to WMV for the pure lazy enjoyment of playback through the Vista Media Center and the Xbox 360 extender.
It seems like for the audio choice most people are recommending Windows Media Audio 10 Professional for 5.1 which upon further investigation appears to be lossy. I was wondering why this was the preference over the Audio 9 lossless for 5.1 since the xbox 360 will support lossless. Is the professional 10 lossy better quality than 9 lossless? Is there another reason for choosing the later?
Well, I read the Wikipedia etc. definitions of each but I would still really like to hear a general opinion, from those who use this software to encode, on WMA 9 lossless vs. WMA 10. I'm intersted in hearing any experienced opinion on quality or any other insight as to why I might choose one over the other when encoding to WMV HD.
The biggest question is space. I've been ripping DVD's to WMV for playback on my XBox 360. I've been using WMA 10 2 Pass VBR 384kbps, 48kHz, 5.1 Channel 24 bit with a peak of 768kbps and max buffer of 4000ms. I'm not sure off hand for BluRay, but I think they use 96kHz on the audio. What ever they use you should match on the settings for your encoding.
As far as using lossless or lossy. VBR can sound exactly like the lossless version, because during the more complitacted/demanding parts the bit rate is able to increase and during less demding parts it lowers it self down. Using a VBR is greatly preferred to using a CBR. Using VBR instead of lossless greatly increases the amount of space saved on your hard drive. Which is key when you're talking about source movies that are 20GB+. As for being able to hear a difference it really depends on what you're listening to and what you're using for playback. If you've got $10,000+ worth of stereo/speakers and listening to an orchestra playback you might be able to discern some small difference. And even then it can vary by listener.
You can also always run test encodes with different settings and see which one is best.
