This software has been completely updated for the first time in about five years. In this time, significant progress has been made in the framework, processing speed, flexibility and more.
TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 is the best software to create a DVD, Blu-ray, or AVCHD project with high quality menus. It has the most powerful authoring engine which combines the best quality
encoding engine with the "Smart Rendering" function that allows ultra-fast output of standard complaint video with little to no loss in quality.

This version brings advanced fast editing and output to fruition by re-evaluating and optimizing all of the editing engines with their conversion into 64-bit native architecture. In addition to
the widely increased import formats such as H.265/HEVC, MXF, it implements new features such as "Track BGM", "Advanced Highlight" and more. It maintains the core concept that "anyone can create
without confusion", letting users go beyond their own expectations.

Hello, I have edited a long sequence of videos in timeline mode. However I would like to generate multiple videos from the single timeline instead of one. How can I do that?

I usually make a duplicate layer, then edit any changes/differences I want. Then, I enter "Single mode" to select the layer I want to output (click the "S" button for the layer), then output.

To duplicate your layer, you'll have to select all the clips in the layer, make a new layer, then paste the clips into the new layer.

I have some .MKV files with subtitles, either .ssa or .ass subtitles, and it is not recognizing the subtitles. If I demux the subtitle and convert it to .srt it loses all formatting that the original had, and i have over 400 .mkv files. Is there a way I can keep the .ssa or .ass formatting and still import the .mkv files to TAW5?

No there is not. If you want to keep the formatting I would strongly suggest using VSO ConvertXtoHD. They do have a trial available and it uses NVENC so your encodes will use NVENC hardware if you have a newer NVIDIA card. Your other option is to hardsub everything, through handbrake or mediacoder or another software package and then bring it in to author.

Subtitle support really blows.

For the future of others, then you can try to take a peak at Subtitle Edit.
It can extract and convert various types of subtitles, which also incl. DVB subtitles to various other subtitle formats.
Just remember to download the required language packs for both the decoder and encoder after having installed Subtitle Edit.

Preferences - Reset to Default
Are all settings reset to default or just the selected line?

It resets all preferences to default.

I have a project with 5 HD video tracks. All I changed was the menu duration and deleted the Play All button. I made no chenges in source material at all. I assumed that it wouldn't require re-rendering on the complete project, but that's what happened.

My question is why? Surely the menu is kept separate from the rest of the content.

Now I'm looking at a 12-hour render, and that's with an i7-6700K cpu (4 Ghz).

When you output, it creates the entire project from scratch, so if your videos were fully rendered the first time, they will be fully rendered every time you want to output the project again.

What you could do, is create a new project and import the videos from your first output. Since they would be compliant, they should "smart render" and not take long to output. You'd also have to save your menu as a template, so you can load it much easier on your second project without having to recreate it.

After updating to 6.2.2.29

the # of threads used to encode (using the same preset from before the update) now uses only 16 threads; it used 36 before the update.

Anything I can do?
Thanks!

I'd love the ability to change the colour scheme or have a selection built in to choose from. I find the default dark a bit too dark for my liking!

Hi there,

I can't find this option so I suspect it doesn't exist but thought I'd ask. Is there a software filter for image stabilization to take some camera shake out of action cam footage?

Thanks a bunch

Hello, Currently I use Apollo Audio DVD Creator, but it is somewhat limited. Can an audio DVD be created in TAW5? If so, Can someone outline the steps? I would need: album links on first page, then a page for each album, displaying song links, returning after each one played.

Thank you for any help.

It cannot produce DVD-Audio (DVD-A) formatted DVDs.

I suppose you could create a DVD-Video project with audio tracks and images, but you'd still need a DVD-Video player to play it.

Hello, I have not been able to find an answer to this question and am looking for help, please.

When creating a menu, why is there only 16 chapters available for 16x9, while 4x3 gives you up to 32? It would seem that you have more screen area on a 16x9 screen. Also, are there any third party utilities that will let you edit TAW5 chapter screens? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,

James

I think it's a weird limitation of the DVD-Video specifications, if I remember correctly. I'm not sure what the reasoning is, but it's not a limitation made by Pegasys.

Don't know of any third party utilities.

Hello :)

Is it possible to animate a PopUp Menu like fading in/out by pressing the PopUp Menu Button?

Unfortunately, no. Only the regular top/track pages can be faded in and out.

Thanks again for the fast support :)

Hello!

I make a PopUp Menu, but i can´t resize the picture to the full width. What make i wrong? Here is a picture from my project:

Thanks for your help!

You may need to adjust the bounding box around your image.
TAW5 tends to make a larger bounding box than the actual image which can make resizing more difficult.

Select your image to see the bounding box and then adjust the height.
Once the height is adjusted, you should be able to increase the width to the full width of the screen.

Thanks for your help - it works! :)
