i cannot play the .divx rendered by tmpgenc with the menu at the beginning. it just plays the first track automatically?how should i play it? and also how do i burn the 4.1 gig .divx file so that my divx player will treat it like menu style?
I found that if you extract the audio first with Any Video Converter (freeware) which should change to a mpg file. Then use the author 4.0 works... does that help? ( I had the same problem since there was no audio .)
This was already asked by me with DVD Authoring 3, but you ignored it.
Now you have this brand new "thing" called Authoring Works and still there's no sign of it here. What gives? This is so simple and minor tweak that it's unbelievable you can't include it in.
So, once again:
Would it be possible to implement a black (or any other colored ) box background to subtitles as a new layout? It would a great help to hide burned-in subtitles or just subtitles that are scrolling up or down.

I know CUDA can currently be used for video filters. But so far that's all it does. I'm sure it's on the way, but if it's not, please work toward CUDA enabled video encoding in future releases.

It must be possible, considering that Badaboom encodes using the GPU (of course, Badaboom's quality sucks, but I'm sure that has more to do with the codecs used)
I agree with this comment totally. GPU encoding on my cheesy 8600GTX was quite fast. I bought TMPGEnc 4.0 with the notion that it would encode in CUDA and cut down on some of my long encoding times. It is fast in some circumstances, but so far, I am still wishing that more processing took place in the GPU. - I also agree that Badaboom's quality sucks.
I am trying to combine some avi files, but can't figure out how to do it. I have numerous AVI files from an older digital camcorder. Some of the avi files I want to combine into one whole sequence and others I want to make into individual chapters. Can't seem to figure out how to combine the set into one scene. Anyone else ever do this with tmpgenc authoring 4 software? It seems like an obvious thing to do.
I'm still on version 3 but I gather from some screen captures that the process is the same in version 4.
In your SOURCE window:
To make an AVI a separate track, click Add A Track. Then, making sure you've highlighted the new track (you might want to name it), click on Add File. Find your AVI in the Windows selection dialog and click OK.
To combine AVIs, just click Add File twice (or 3 times, or 4). Each time you'll add a new file to the same track. You can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to get them in the order you want. Pile on all the files you want in a track. In the Source/Track editor, they are treated as any other chapter. In the output process, they are all joined together as 1 single file per track and output that way.
Richard, thanks for the response. I do understand how to add more files to a track. My issue is trying to add files together with no chapters. Basically to add multiple avi files but take away the chapters from some (or combine them so they show as one file). For example if you had 5 avi files and you wanted to make the first 3 avi files to run seamlessly together and to show on the menu as 1 chapter, but then show the next 2 avi's each as a seperate chapter. For a total of 3 chapters (5 avi files, but 3 chapters in the final outpu dvd). Does the software have the capabilty to do this?
I don't think you can actually join movie files together, but what you can do is select which chapters will be displayed in the menu.
To do this, click on the Global Menu Settings button in the Menu Stage. It will be just under the "Launch the Menu Wizard" button.
This opens the menu settings window. In the window, click on the tab named "Chapter display." From here, you can select which chapters will appear in your track menus. Simply uncheck the chapters that you don't want displayed.
Sorry, I didn't grasp your query at first reading. No, you can't actually "join" files but you can get them to play as though they had been (and that's the goal, isn't it?)
Add the files to a track.
Make sure in the Track properties that you select to Link Clips. In V3 this is found by highlighting the track then clicking the SETTINGS button for it. The pop-up dialog has a tab labeled General. You'll find the Link Clips option on that tab.
Next, use the Track editor. In V3 there are several ways to flag a chapter to NOT appear in the menu. One way is to click the little green "light" on each chapter icon. Another is to right click the chapter icon and select "do not include in the menu"
So, in essence, link all your clips together, and for the clips that you don't want a menu item for, mark them as "do not include in the menu."
You'll still have separate clips in TMPGEnc, but when the DVD files are built, they'll play as 1 clip. Make sense?
Thank you thank you, thank you. I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out and like I thought it was right there in front of me. Sure am glad this software can do this! :)
I have had problems getting your excellent program to encode PAL 720x352 Half D-1 (4-6hrs) recorded DVD-R+R the same as it does 720x576 Full D-1 kepping the letterbox format. The Xpress program will read all DVD but handles them differently when its time to Encode.
I know the bitrates are lower for Half D-1 typically 2,800 Mbps but can we have a standard filter that will resize and keep the letterbox format as my Philips DVDR 3380 records in both D-1 formats
I have found this workaround and saved as a filter is there another way?
1: Resize full (center) using lanscos3 to 720x432 (75% of 576)
2: Picture Crop tick left and right 8 pixels to give 704x576
3: Select PAL 720x576 DVD Video as you normally would for Full D-1 with 2,130 kb/s this means you can get about four 40 mins TV shows on one DVD with your own custom menu. Minus all those annoying adverts.
When creating a Slideshow Chapter, cannot multi-select the files as the documentation states. Have to select individually and set properties for each. Very time consuming with many photos. A working Multi-Select would be very useful if it worked. Anyone else notice this Defect?
I don't see this mentioned in the Help file. It does talk about selecting multiple files when you are importing the images (which does work), but I don't see where it says this in regards to the actual slides.
I read through the entire feature set , but not still sure about these couple of features come as part of the software.
Although basic features i still would need to confirm before i buy the software.
1. Will it be possible to mix audio from multiple audio sources with the video. ex 1st minute of the video with say audio stream 1 and 2nd minute of the video with audio stream 2.
2. is it possible to work with multiple video streams.
