I've created a "DVD Standard MPEG-2" file using TMPGEnc 4.0 Express, with the audio set to Dolby Digital. When I play this file on the PC using Windows Media Player, there is no audio, but there is audio when I use VideoLAN.
I encoded this file onto a DVD using TMPGEnc DVD Author 2, and found that the DVD plays fine (with sound) in a DVD player, but there is no sound when the DVD is played on the PC using Windows Media Player. Again playing it with VideoLan gives audio. TMPGEnc DVD Author's Simulation screen also played without sound.
The same PC can play commercial DVDs that have Dolby Digital audio without problem, again using Windows Media Player, so I don't think the problem here is the standard "missing AC3 codec" problem. This wouldn't be a problem, as I can just use VideoLAN on my PC, but I also need the PC to play on other PCs where VideoLAN cannot be installed, so I have to be able to get files playing with sound using Windows Media Player.
Is there something non-standard in the Dolgy Digital audio that TMPGEnc 4.0 Express produces?
This could be about decoder, may be your output file needs other codecs to be decoded by WMP or viceverse, try to update Directshow to the latest version.
good luck
When I encode from dvr-ms hd 1080i source to 1080 using mp4 encode, the video runs at half speed. The audio runs normal speed and runs out long before the video ends. If I endode the same job to 810, 720 or smaller, there is no such error. Advice would be appreciated.
I've been using DVD Author for awhile now and have a pretty good grasp on all the features. Something I've never tried with it though is making the background be a video clip. I'm working on a movie dvd and wanted a specific scene to be the background. Every time I load the video file into the background and then do the simulation only the audio plays and the background freezes on the first frame.
Is this just a simulation thing and once authored the clip would play? Anyone had this problem before? I've tried AVI and MPEG versions of the clip with the same results.
I'm about to just set the thumbnail to the scene I want, enlarge it, and cut the audio to the scene and make it the BGM.
OK so no response. What excellent support. Got no response from the official support route by email either. I guess I will look elsewhere for my software products in future....
i have turned on CUDA options (3 check boxes) to convert from .ts to .wmv
but i always fail when the size of output file (.wmv) is up to 2.8 G
the error messages are "storage violation...", or "access deny..." (something like that; sorry, i forget the exactly words)
but, if i turn off CUDA, it works fine and finished the converting tasks, would you please tell me why?
my OS is Vista Ultimate SP-1, 32-bit, nVidia 9600GT
by the way, will CUDA help me when converting .ts to .wmv?
because besides to the encoding message (ex, CPU 30%, CUDA 70%),
i didnt see any different performance (including encoding time, and CPU usage from Task Manager of Windows) of the converting tasks with and without CUDA
is it normal? or what should i do to make CUDA acclerate the encoding process?
Don't know about the storage violation error, you should contact support and let them know of the problem.
For now, CUDA will only accelerate MPEG-2 decoding and video filter processing. So if you're not doing either of those, you probably won't see a performance increase.
I installed the trial version of Authoring Works 4 earlier today.
After making my chapters and the menu.I clicked on Simulation,clicked on start.
It showed the menu that I had made,but...it looked really weird.Green,pink and yellow,heavily saturated.Kind of like when you watch one of those shows on Discovery Channel and they use a special kind of device to show someones body heat..if that makes sense.
What causes this?I didn't have that problem when I used an earlier version.
Anyway,I clicked on output,in the hope that it's just some weird Tmpegnc glitch and doesn't show up when I play the DVD.
There's no way to automatically make the track name the same as the clip name, but you can set the chapter menu labels to be taken from the clip name(s).
Go to Options --> Preferences --> Project Default Settings.
There, you can set the Chapter Label to "Clip name + number".
In the upper left hand corner it identifies the Track you are working on. If you select "Settings", you can rename "Track 1" to whatever track name you want and it will use that for your menu track name.
I want to encode the DVDs using the AUD-x Audio Codec (being the only 5.1 free codec available). I have the codec installed and can see the codec in other encoders like Virtualdub but TMPGENC 4.0 is not showing the same in the codec list...any ideas?
I want to create a menu with only one page. In that page I want to put the access to every chapter of the movie (in my case, only two) and audio and subtitle option.
I coudn't do this. All the examples that I can try, put the subtitle an audio option in a separte page the the chapters options.
It is possible to create a menu with only one page that includes all this options?
I tried yesterday (quickly) V4 and I found it very promising. But I would like to know if and when will be added H264/VC-1 support to create a BDMV (in this moment only MPEG-2 is supported).
