Currently have the trial version of Authoring Works 6. Would like to create a BD. This should contain two movies with individual chapters. Film 1 = 3 chapters, movie 2 = 5 chapters. The menu should now look like that: when inserting the disc first a main menu is displayed where you select the desired title, then jump to the appropriate sub menu where the individual chapters or all chapters can be selected. After selecting a single and playing a chapter it should be jumped back to the corresponding chapter menu after its end to select a different chapter.
Having spent quite a few hours making such a menu, I am close to despair. Neither with one of the included, nor with a user menu it is possible.
Question, I'm just too stupid or really can not do that. With other authoring software that works, but they all have either bad encoders, are extremely slow to render, or very expensive.
I'm grateful for every tip.
This probably comes too late for you, but to have separate movies handled the way you want, you need to have each in its own track when you add sources. The first movie would go to Track 1, then create Track 2 and add the second movie to it. You then set the menu up with a title screen and then track screens for each movie.
I had the same problem initially, because like you, I'm used to the way other programs handle menus. This way makes sense to me and it allows flexibility my current software doesn't. I did create a disc this way with the trial version using 10 titles and 10 chapters each. An older Blu-Ray player had trouble with it, but it's a very early model. Another more recent model had no issues that I can see.
I don't think you're stupid. It just takes an adjustment of mindset, common when moving to different applications. Not always easy to do.
You can export the chapter/keyframe positions as a .keyframe file and just open it in a text editor. It's just a list of the frame numbers where a chapter/keyframe exists. Just hit ctrl + s when you're in the clip editor.
Not through TAW6, I don't think. You can create a formula in excel to convert the framenumber into timecode, do a google search for "convert frame number to timecode" and you should be able to find some stuff.
Hello.
Love the product. Thank you.
But I have a question: Is it possible to use a graphics file as a menu item highlight, instead of the frame, or underline, etc. it would be nice to use an animated gif as a highlight and select. anything from animated arrows to 2 underlines (if the selection is 2 lines of text on the background) or even an animated box, like a small theatre marquee.
I am getting the same error in EVERY program from Pegasys, since I upgraded to Windows 10. What the hell is going on? Can't output anything from Smart Renderer, or Authoring Works, or Mastering Works.
After editing out the commercials and the beginning to a show or movie it will no longer show up in the DVR interface because the metadata was not transferred over to the new file. They use a transport stream with .mpg extension and the metadata is in the first 12032 bytes of information on the file. Is there a way to get this information transfered to the new file?
Video file * .ts. in HEVC format, MPEG-4 HE AAC audio, opens in the program without audio. Audio is there, but the program can not decode it. An upgrade of the program is required?
How comes there is no "progressive" mode available in BDMV (H.264/AVC) (PAL) output mode ? Only "interlaced" and "progressive (2:2 pulldown)" ????
The source video is 1080/25p MOV (DnxHD).
Bluray 25fps PAL has no progressive flag: it's not allowed. but if you set the input source to progressive and encode it as interlaced it will only be flagged as interlaced, but encoded with full frames without quality loss

"TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2" is a dedicated application that can centrally manage browsing, searching, classification, comparison, and more of the many movie files saved on a user's computer. Recently, recording or content formats have largely migrated from pictures to movies because of the progression of technology such as the communications infrastructure or smart phones. Now, an over-abundance of video files can occupy a PC's hard drive, and a solution is needed to manage this continuously increasing amount of video files. That solution is TMPGEnc KARMA.. Plus 2.

How does one install this? Under Win 10, even using "Run as Administrator," it says I don't have sufficient rights, and tells me to contact my sysop (I AM the sysop). It seems to be trying to install something to a Windows restricted directory on the boot drive; it doesn't matter where I tell it to install the program, it ignores that and terminates with the same crash.
Too bad; I use the old version of KARMA frequently, and would probably have paid for this one if it worked.
Out of nowhere today, when I went to use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, a pop-up showed up, it never has in the past before.
It Says:
Could Not Access The Server, please make sure you are connected to the internet, proxy settings are correct and virus software isn't blocking it.
My computer is connected to the internet, I don't use any proxy settings and my virus software is not blocking it. No matter what I try this message keeps appearing and it's not letting me use the program.
I have made a BluRay with one menu, a play-all button and 15 chapters, in one video timeline.
(1) I rendered a ISO and after 2 hours rendering I discoverer one error in the menu text. Just one letter. I changed it and started output again. But it started to render the video again. So another wait for two hours. I understand it need to rebuild the menu, but why re-render the video?
So how to prevent this?
(2) When playing all, it works fine. But when playing a chapter it continues to play after the end of that chapter. The chapter is just a point i a much longer video. But i want it to stop at the end of the chosen chapter.
How do I do that?
I'm new with TMPGenc Autoring Works. I did search the web and the TMPEG help, but can't find the answer.
1) If the video is rendering, I'm assuming it's not compliant with the Blu-ray standard? If that is the case, you should go back to the Source stage and import your ISO and use that as your source video instead of the old clip. Since the ISO is blu-ray compliant, it shouldn't re-render it again, and all you'll have to do is re-render the menus.
2) It sounds like your chapters aren't actually chapters then. It sounds like you want them to be separate clips/tracks that can be played independently of each other.
If so, you should split the video into multiple clips at the chapter points. You can do that by going to the Clip Editor and turning each chapter point into a split point. You can then split the clip into multiple clips.
Play All from the top menu will still play all the clips one after the other, but choosing a track (previously your chapter) will now just play that track and then stop.
That's how I would do it, but you should use the Simulation stage to test how it works before output.
Hi IS it best to create (extract) short video files from the main video amnd add these Vs creating chapters from within the program ? I can create lossless extractions thanks
There is a limit dictated by the DVD and Blu-ray standards, so the maximum in TAW6 is the maximum for the standard, I believe. DVD can have more thumbnails than blu-ray if I remember correctly.
