Hello
Rendering a huge file to Blu-Ray, the CPU from 20% to 74% and back to 20%. I have nothing else running and would like to get it up to 95% if possibe
Question #2: What file format is fastest to encode to Blu-ray ?
thank you
I have just decided to try using Authoring Works 5 and had not problems building the project but I cannot get it out of the software and onto a disc.
every time I try to output the project to either a file location or a Blu-ray burner the program comes back with an error code. " at Address "hexcode", Write error occurred against address "same hex code" when I clear it and try to do it again the program locks up and I have to CTD to get out of it.
this happens no matter what physical or logical drive I attempt to use. Internal or external.
When I encode a file is there a way of doing a preview so I can see a brief clip of the output of my encoding. I basically want to see if the quality is either shocking or acceptable of my re-encoded files.
I've tried the Preview button but it only shows what your clips will look like with any filters, etc not what they look like after encoding. I noticed when encoding the preview shows the source picture is there a way of showing the destination/output image ?
To see how it would look after encoding, you'd have to encode it. So no, there's no encoding preview.
However, you could just create a small clip from your footage (like 20 seconds or so) and then encode it with your output settings to see what the quality is like.
Would it be possible to perform audio fade-ins and fade-outs just before and after the edit points within a clip without re-encoding all the audio of the clip. Often, the audio at such places can be loud and sudden due to broadcasters' desire to make more room for commercials, even to the point of eliminating the original fade-ins and fade-outs.
Currently, I manually do both of the above by placing three copies of each clip in a row, trimming the first down to ~1500 ms and introducing an audio fade-in, the 2nd by 1500 ms at both beginning and end, and the third to ~1500 ms and introducing a audio fade-out.
Improving it further, could you add the ability to introduce a silent blank filler gap at the edit points of user-selectable length? The result, audio fades and blank filler gap in the middle makes for a more professional looking result but does take a lot more time when done manually.
I'd like to know how do I add 5.1 PCM (24bit - 48kHz) audio to a Bluray. What format must the audio be in?
I can create multichannel WAV, but only up to 4 GB in size, this means they can only be about 80 min long. Is there another uncompressed format I can use?
Also, must the channel layout be fixed? I always use L R C Lf Ls Rs.
Subtitles. In my opinion these need a serious update.
1. to be able to import srt subtitles and retain ITALICS information. This is very important for professional authoring. Italic subtitles are used to denote songs or off-screen dialogue. They could be assigned another style and the user chooses how they look.
2. Forced subtitles system. For pro authoring it is important to be able to play forced subtitles for each language, without having to select anything. If a certain audio language is selected, the corresponding forced subtitles track plays automatically, without option to disable.
Hi,
As a request: to be able to load dts and dolby TrueHD audio. I'm not asking for your software to encode in these formats, I understand there are licensing issues. I just want to add for example a .mlp (TrueHD) file I have encoded myself. I even don't mind if I can't preview (prehear) it. Just to be able to multiplex it into the Bluray.
That would be awesome.
I'm trying to add background music to all menus. I have a 5 min. long ac3. I managed to add it to a single menu screen. But my idea is that the same music plays continously in all menus, without breaks. Is this possible?
Thank you!
Not possible. Each menu is made up of a separate movie file, so each time a different menu is loaded, it will start from the beginning of the movie file. This is also how commercial DVDs work.
This is to report a new problem with TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 and MPEG Smartrender 4. I have been attempting to correct a problem for the past week with all my video software converters (4 different software programs).
I upgraded to a new Nvidia Series 700 graphics card a couple weeks ago and lost all my CUDA functionaliy in four different software packages. After a lot of troubleshooting with the card manufacturer, I learned the new driver, specifically the new 340 release broke all my video conversion software and I was unable to enable CUDA acceleration on any of the software. See the manufacturers explanation below:
I had to uninstall the new driver and reload the older v337.88 firmware. After backing off the new firmware upgrade, everything is back to normal and everything is working correctly. CUDA is back!
Hi Dennis,
CUDA support for some video encoder software was removed in the recent 340 release drivers in favour of the newer NVENC acceleration. Unfortunately, this means that to enable CUDA support for your software, you will need to roll back to a previous driver revision, wait for a vendor software update, or use a modified driver that re-enables CUDA support.
Hello,
Today I downloaded and installed the latest version 5.5.1.106 and also updated to the latest nvidia geforce drivers 340.52. Now cuda is broken and is not even an option in the encoder drop down list. I have it enabled in the options and have tried the optimization many times and it just won't work. I have tried reinstalling the program and the nvidia drivers with no success, also tried going back to the previous version and nvidia drivers. I've also tried different videos, some 1080P and others 720P, mp4 and wmv. It worked great before I updated...WTF is going on?
I couldn't get CUDA to work with the newest version. I had to uninstall and go back to 5.5.0.105 and geforce 337.88 drivers, but at least its working again.
Still running 5.5.0.105 with CUDA but now I have found another problem. None of the file naming options for the output folder/file work so I have to manually rename the output file. In The options menu I have it set to "Number_Clip Name.Extension" and it used to add a "00_" to each original filename however it no longer works and I have to change it manually or choose to overwrite the original file. I'm starting to get really frustrated and can't believe how buggy this program is.
Well I'm not sure what I did or how I did it but I'm now running version 5.5.1.106 with geforce 337.88 drivers and have CUDA working and I also figured out the file renaming problem I was having. I'm not gonna worry about updating the geforce drivers for now, probably wait for the next release and try it then.
