i make kvcds so i encode the audio and video separately then multiplex the two together, but when i encode the audio to mp2 it plays but has no sound. i thought the problem was with tmpeg but same thing with two other encoders i tried.

so as of now i have no way to complete my movies. been doing this successfully for years and have never come across this problem.

any help is greatly appreciated.

i try everything i can to solve this problem and i red the help instructions step by step .

I am having exactly the same problem right down to the error code. I am also running an AMD Quad Core. I have 4GB of RAM of in excess of 500GB of free disc space. Exactly the same source footage works fine with authoring a DVD video. The problem only occurs when authoring a Bluray Disc.

This prog is very buggy it is far too heavy on resources for HD authoring, like it was writtain for a pc which needs to be 20 times faster than a quad core, shame because all other tmpgenc products work very well

very simple, install more memory.

think about it, you are tryign to process lots of titles, pages buttons etc, and the software relies on the memory you have installed to remmber what it needs to process, and whilst its doing this the memory is getting lower and lower becuase its like a hard drive, the mor data you add into the free space you had, the hard drive space gets smaller and smaller, and then when you get to a certain stage and the software still needs a certain amount as a temp file which is exactly what the memory is storing, it will give you a warnign sayign low space and advices you to free space up.

heck it happens to me if i go and extract over 50 rar'd files, encod full HD videos etc all at the same time, or during a string of tasks, the memory gets lower and ive got 6gb's of memory yet i can get to a point where i have only 300mb of memory left.... and its all becuase the temp storage if being used in the memory.

so depending on what you are tryignt o achive, and what your specs are on your system i woiuld upgrade your memory to the most you can do.

hi , thank's for ur replay
in fact i had 8 gb ram plus quad cbu and 2 hd drive 1000 gb each ??? and u say get more rams and space ???
this problem happend only when i have mkv file 1920 x 1040 or 1420 x 840 as a source , when i try the m2ts 1920 x 1080 file it's worked fine and finshed through 30 min !!!! so i think the problem in reconverting the source file to blu ray ( m2ts ) ?? pls anybady have a soultion .......
thanks

If you are creating motion menus, every page that displays those menus opens an instance of the codecs for audio and video. When you display the menu page and it has 8 pages of 8 chapters per page, then Works tries to bring up 64 instances of the codecs needed to "play" that motion menu and its motion chapters. This is also the requirement during the building and processing of your final DVD or Blu-RAY movie. Open Task Manager and select Performance. You can watch both your physical memory and pagefile memory get consumed during the DVD or Blu-ray build. Mine seems to crash at 2.06 gigs which conflicts with the amount of memory resources I have available.

I have 4 gigs physical memory and 6 gigs pagefile. Whenever I try to create a Blu-ray movie with motion menus and chapters and pop-up menus, it blows up and claims not enough resources to complete the process. You might want to make sure your temporary file processes have sufficient hard drive space to store those temporary files.

Do not use this option if you do not have enough memory since it may eventually slow down the process. Disable this option in case a memory error occurs during the output.

Are you talking about the free version or 2.5 Plus? If you're talking about the free version, you can try downloading it at download.com:

hi.

i cannot play the .divx rendered by tmpgenc with the menu at the beginning. it just plays the first track automatically?how should i play it? and also how do i burn the 4.1 gig .divx file so that my divx player will treat it like menu style?


thanks

You need a DivX ULTRA certified player to see the menus, otherwise it will go straight to the videos like you are describing.

I am importing some .mov files, The video is working perfectly but there's no audio. Does any body experience the same problem ??? Thanks

I found that if you extract the audio first with Any Video Converter (freeware) which should change to a mpg file. Then use the author 4.0 works... does that help? ( I had the same problem since there was no audio .)

Downloaded and installed Karma five times,in three languagues. Iam running latest Windows Vista Ultimate with all current netframework updates.

Each time I open Karma I get "passed" for everything except "SP1 netframework not installed."

SP130 netframework cannot be installed on Vista,nordoesVistaneed it. Karma is a defective program.

Is there a way to create an transition between one menu page and another?
All i see is a fade-in and fade-out gacility!

Unfortunately, no.

The effects you are talking about are only for the menu background, not necessarily the menu page.

The fade-in/fade-out is only for motion menus to help make looping smoother.

This was already asked by me with DVD Authoring 3, but you ignored it.
Now you have this brand new "thing" called Authoring Works and still there's no sign of it here. What gives? This is so simple and minor tweak that it's unbelievable you can't include it in.

So, once again:

Would it be possible to implement a black (or any other colored ) box background to subtitles as a new layout? It would a great help to hide burned-in subtitles or just subtitles that are scrolling up or down.

I know CUDA can currently be used for video filters. But so far that's all it does. I'm sure it's on the way, but if it's not, please work toward CUDA enabled video encoding in future releases.

It must be possible, considering that Badaboom encodes using the GPU (of course, Badaboom's quality sucks, but I'm sure that has more to do with the codecs used)

I agree with this comment totally. GPU encoding on my cheesy 8600GTX was quite fast. I bought TMPGEnc 4.0 with the notion that it would encode in CUDA and cut down on some of my long encoding times. It is fast in some circumstances, but so far, I am still wishing that more processing took place in the GPU. - I also agree that Badaboom's quality sucks.

I am trying to combine some avi files, but can't figure out how to do it. I have numerous AVI files from an older digital camcorder. Some of the avi files I want to combine into one whole sequence and others I want to make into individual chapters. Can't seem to figure out how to combine the set into one scene. Anyone else ever do this with tmpgenc authoring 4 software? It seems like an obvious thing to do.

I'm still on version 3 but I gather from some screen captures that the process is the same in version 4.

In your SOURCE window:

To make an AVI a separate track, click Add A Track. Then, making sure you've highlighted the new track (you might want to name it), click on Add File. Find your AVI in the Windows selection dialog and click OK.

To combine AVIs, just click Add File twice (or 3 times, or 4). Each time you'll add a new file to the same track. You can use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to get them in the order you want. Pile on all the files you want in a track. In the Source/Track editor, they are treated as any other chapter. In the output process, they are all joined together as 1 single file per track and output that way.

Richard, thanks for the response. I do understand how to add more files to a track. My issue is trying to add files together with no chapters. Basically to add multiple avi files but take away the chapters from some (or combine them so they show as one file). For example if you had 5 avi files and you wanted to make the first 3 avi files to run seamlessly together and to show on the menu as 1 chapter, but then show the next 2 avi's each as a seperate chapter. For a total of 3 chapters (5 avi files, but 3 chapters in the final outpu dvd). Does the software have the capabilty to do this?

I don't think you can actually join movie files together, but what you can do is select which chapters will be displayed in the menu.

To do this, click on the Global Menu Settings button in the Menu Stage. It will be just under the "Launch the Menu Wizard" button.

This opens the menu settings window. In the window, click on the tab named "Chapter display." From here, you can select which chapters will appear in your track menus. Simply uncheck the chapters that you don't want displayed.

Jamieson,

Sorry, I didn't grasp your query at first reading. No, you can't actually "join" files but you can get them to play as though they had been (and that's the goal, isn't it?)

Add the files to a track.

Make sure in the Track properties that you select to Link Clips. In V3 this is found by highlighting the track then clicking the SETTINGS button for it. The pop-up dialog has a tab labeled General. You'll find the Link Clips option on that tab.

Next, use the Track editor. In V3 there are several ways to flag a chapter to NOT appear in the menu. One way is to click the little green "light" on each chapter icon. Another is to right click the chapter icon and select "do not include in the menu"

So, in essence, link all your clips together, and for the clips that you don't want a menu item for, mark them as "do not include in the menu."

You'll still have separate clips in TMPGEnc, but when the DVD files are built, they'll play as 1 clip. Make sense?

Thank you thank you, thank you. I have been racking my brain trying to figure this out and like I thought it was right there in front of me. Sure am glad this software can do this! :)

I have had problems getting your excellent program to encode PAL 720x352 Half D-1 (4-6hrs) recorded DVD-R+R the same as it does 720x576 Full D-1 kepping the letterbox format. The Xpress program will read all DVD but handles them differently when its time to Encode.

I know the bitrates are lower for Half D-1 typically 2,800 Mbps but can we have a standard filter that will resize and keep the letterbox format as my Philips DVDR 3380 records in both D-1 formats

I have found this workaround and saved as a filter is there another way?

1: Resize full (center) using lanscos3 to 720x432 (75% of 576)
2: Picture Crop tick left and right 8 pixels to give 704x576
3: Select PAL 720x576 DVD Video as you normally would for Full D-1 with 2,130 kb/s this means you can get about four 40 mins TV shows on one DVD with your own custom menu. Minus all those annoying adverts.


SpideRaY

Sorry Typo meant to say 352x576 for Half D-1
