My wife's PC died and I'll be giving her my current PC with DVD Author 2.0 on it. I want to uninstall it off this PC and install it on my new PC. Is this OK or will I have any issues/problems with licensing?
I am trying to brighten up a rather dark avi file that I want to burn to a dvd, make a movie of it.
Instead of just brightening it in VirtualDub and then putting the result into Nero I've been told I'll get better results by frameserving it to tmpg and burning the result with imgburn.
Fair enough.
I set up Virtualdub load the file, set the filter for brightness and start the frameserver.
It creates a vdr file and that's what I'm supposed to point tmpg to. But it doesn't recognise the type of file.
So I find I should install a plugin and I downloaded and tried to follow the instructions for an avs plugin: VFAPI plugin for TMPGEnc/AviUtl
Here they are:
How to install:
1. put m2v.vfp and m2vconf.exe into the same folder.
2. execute m2vconf.exe
3. select options
4. push OK button
Well that didn't seem to do any good so I put them in same directory as tmpgplus but it still didn't do any good.
Can anyone help me out, show me where I've gone wrong?
I always thought that Scrubs is a great TV show, not only for the great acting and the funny scripts, but also for showing what working in a hospital is really like. Every doctor will say that "life is not like ER", and scrubs didn't take the whole heroic position and the action-drama scenes, that frankly, is much less common in hospitals than an old man with diarrhea, reflux, colitis or other not so very "photographic" diseases.

How can I move a chapter button to the next menu page. I have 6 chapters on my 2nd menu page, but they are lengthy titles and don't fit. The 3rd menu page (which is the last menu page) has only 4 chapters, so I want to move the last chapter button on page 2 to page 3.
Hi. I have been using TDA 1.6 for a year or so now and am generally very happy with it.
However I have just started to try making my own buttons, and am having no success in achieving transparency. I do not have PhotoShop but use PaintShop Pro 8 which has full layer facilities. It also allows files to be saved as '.PSD'. So I created a single raster layer button, which shows transparency correctly in PSP8 (and also in The GIMP). But in TDA, when I replace the Play All button with my PSD, it is *not* transparent. It appears inside a solid white rectangle.
I cannot understand the instructions in TDA Help, which anyway are written for PhotoShop. Can anyone either explain how to do this from PaintShop Pro, or better still send me an example PSD file so that I can examine it carefully to see what is 'special' that lets it appear in TDA as transparent.
You can't delete that, its a necessary button to link to your video without it, the menu won't know where your movie chapters are.
This software doesnt freely let you modify everything, especially since DVD menu standards aren't flexible. It will take some learning but you'll eventually get it, not very hard to use. If you want to change how your button looks then go in menu setting and import your own picture instead of deleting that button.
DVD Author 3 is considered a separate program so it will not overwrite your old DVD author 2. You can pretty much do whatever you want with DVD Author 2 and it will not affect 3 and vice versa. Could uninstall if you dont use it anymore but either way it wont affect DVD author 3.
Not my first usage of DVD Author 3, but my first in using 8 hour DVD-RAM.
I was using the Source Wizard to import a PANNY burned DVD-RAM that had 8 hours.
The import failed with an I/O error about the time it had readed close to 6 hours.
Can DVD Author 3 handle more than a 6 hours DVD-RAM?
Did you tell it to copy the disk to HDD? I'm guessing the hardware might not have been able to keep up with the read/write and possibly decode for that long? Try a direct copy to HDD using Windows Explorer or something then try importing from the HDD. Should correct your problem.
Hello. I have recently installed Editor Premium on a powerful Dell which has been dealing with TMPG 4.0 Express and Editor 1.0 for many months without any problem. If I start a new project (or open an existing one), add some files, open the transition editor, optionally select a transition (or not) and then select OK to close the transition editor, the program displays a message "runtime error 204 at 0BOA29FC" and crashes.

"It is possible you may have other processes in the background that is
causing a conflict with our software. Please make sure you close down
all processes that are not needed. I also recommend having the latest
.NET framework 2 and 3 and DirectX installed. Also, if you have any
codec packs or ffdshow then I suggest removing them as well."
I hardly have any startup programs. I have now run all Windows updates (including .NET fraework 3), have updated DirectX and have updated the ATI dispay driver. I'm 99.9% certain that the ffdshow codec pack has never been installed - I have been warned against it many times on the web.
Google identifies 2 oriental websites mentioning "error 204" +pegasys, but I can't understand them.
I have found kservice.exe and removed it. No improvement.
What kind of graphics card do you have? Their spec says 3D graphics card with DirectX 9 capabilities. You could have the software DirectX 9 installed but if your card isn't directx 9 compatible then this could be a problem.
oh yah btw, you might not want to quote them...they usually have a disclaimer and might not like you using it for posting on blogs or forums.
One other thing I do know is that Runtime error is an error in memory conflict at runtime.
>What kind of graphics card do you have? Their spec says 3D graphics card with DirectX 9 capabilities. You could have the software DirectX 9 installed but if your card isn't directx 9 compatible then this could be a problem.
Thanks nTekka. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X600 256MB HyperMemory and the spec on their website says "Full DirectX 9 support".
I'm not sure how to detect whether I have codec packs or ffdshow installed.
I have the same problem on two systems with TMPGEnc editor. All my frameworks are up to date. No extra codecs installed. It crashes the system every time I use a transition. Have submitted a report every time as well. Any news on this? This pudate has been a waste of money if this is not fixed at some point.
I have probs with using dvr-ms files as input to DVD Author. When I watch the converted result (.mpg) it has a cleary visible audio desync. It gets worse the longe the file play, and after 90min its estimated about 10-15 frames.
I just purchased and installed MPEG Editor v2 Premium, did a quick test project, primarily to get the license, and make sure things worked, and they did, so I shut it down. I then tried to browse the internet using Firefox, but my firewall allerted me that TMPG MPEG Editor was tring to access the internet by sending commands to explorer.exe. The only programs that I know of that try to access the internet without the knowledge of the user, are securty threats. So when I denied access (via the firewall alert), my browser was inoprerable, unable to connect to anything. After a while trying to intercept this behaviour I was forced to de-install MPEG Editor 2 and reboot, before the internet was accessible. Is this behavior intended?
iono about that... sounds suspicious to me and I don't mean with MPEG Editor. Why would it access explorer.exe (your Windows explorer) and not iexplorer.exe (Internet explorer)... but anyway how is all that connected to Firefox and MPEG Editor 2P? give us some details...sounds like you might got a piggy back riding trojan off of MPEG Editor 2P.
