Can the disc writing tool write to multiple DVDs at the same time?

No. Just one DVD at a time.

Hi, I have a problem here. Whenever I try to open this file to encode, I kept getting this message:

"Could not open the video part of the file H:\12.avi
Only the audio part can be opened."

There is no problem with the video file; it plays perfectly on any mediaplayer but the file size is just too big and I wanna make it smaller. Is there a patch for it? Been using this program for alot of files with no problems and this is the 1st time I encounter this. Of course, as someone requested earlier, it would be good to have a 'join clips' function as well.

Thank you for reading and looking forward to your reply.

What is the codec used? There may be a codec conflict.

Hi, I am fairly new to TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4 and I have a question on figuring out which source files go with which projects. I have a number of projects on my system, some of which have been burned to DVD and some of which have not been, and I'm starting to run out of hard disk space. I would like to be able to delete the source files for the projects already burned but I don't want to risk deleting the ones for projects I'm still working on. How do you identify which .DVDDATA files go with which project? I can't seem to find a way to do this in the program.

Thanks very much in advance.

easy, load the project and see what it is lol

Yeah, that was a real helpful answer. Thanks alot. :-(

I did a little more looking and found the Project File Check Tool under Advanced Project Tools.

60% of all of my mpeg movies are not read right by Tmpgenc xpress. I have the latest version and the mpeg's are not encrypted or copyright protected. For example a mpeg my be 1h28min yet tmpgenc reports it in the clip/edit during import as a 28 min mpeg and the frames in the preview window do not match the ones in the thumbnail viewer. This means that I can't recode but 40 percent of my mpeg's. Does anyone know an answer to this.
FYI: the mpegs are on my hard drive and none of the other softwares on my computer have any problems reading them except for tmpgenc. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling tmpgenc. And have even recently reinstalled my OS with no results. The 40 percent that it does read import and encode correctly without error. All of the mpeg's are from the same source.

Where do the problem mpegs come from? Are they DVD rips, captures, from the web, etc? It's possible they have damaged header files or it may be a transport stream that XPress can't read.

They are DVD rips from the same software. I found a solution on my own. It is to demultiplex the ones that it can't read correctly, then import, and then convert. It has worked on several so far.

Well now the video and audio are out of sync. Great now this software is like trying to get Vista to work. I guess I'll start another thread.

Hi,

I'm authoring a DVD in AUTHORING WORKS 4 and importing a .SRT subtitle file. Everything is fine with the exception of this... when a sub goes onto two lines, rather than centring the second line it aligns to the left, in line with the first line. The whole sub is centred in the middle of the picture, so this isn't a problem, I just want to get the second line centred below the first Here's an example.

descending from your
august throne

whereas I want it to look like this...

descending from your
august throne

Now I've played around with all the alignment settings with no joy... Anybody have any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Regards

sorry that second example didn't work, but hopefully you get the idea.

Go to the Subtitle editor and click on the "Edit menu" button and select "Layout editor".

In the Layout editor window, uncheck the "Align text" box. That should make everything align correctly.

I have windows vista 64
it is about 4 months I use this program and everything worked well.

for several days but it stopped working.
the process starts, but the application does not appear on the Windows desktop

I uninstall the software, I reboot, I reinstalled the software, the reactive reboot

software this revival finally, I open a file ... and freeze
I kill the frozen process

and again when I relaunch the application, the process is present but no trace of the software on the Windows desktop

problem with the latest updates ". NET Framework" on windows update?
activation system crap?

any case the software has become useless

hi,
Did you update or upgrade your Security system?.
Some times secure software checks actions in the memory, if it is
blocked to run the program correctly comes such crash, please run the
program by turning off your security software, or check its block list
and settings.
-Also try to run the program as administrator.
-Also...please try to update your video and graphic drives.

Did you made a Windows update?, if so try to back the point before such
update, this also provokes errors, possibly is a wrong Windows update.

Also may be there is a problem with your graphic card spec, check about them.

Also try by installing the newest version of .NET framework(version
3.5), This version cannot be update by normal Windows update

run the "System Requirement Check Tool" for Editor 3 and check if your
requirements are completed.

good luck

I recently upgraded Real Player & Miro after which I received a Swish.Zone popup referreing to their FLV-source filter installed on my PC.
This popup only appears when opening TMPGEnc (4.0 Xpress lateate version)and causes it to hang when opening FLV-files for converting.
Anyone with a solution for this?
Unilstaiing Realpleyaer & Miro has no effect.

Thanks

Rob

Uninstall swishzone maybe?

Try to disable the Flv.ax filter. You can use a program like MMCompView or "Sherlock - The Codec Detective!" - that can be downloaded from free-codecs.com - to disable specific codecs.
Using the programs search for "FLV File Source" and disable it.

Or maybe try to unregister the filter typing in the Start > Run :
regsvr32 -u "C:\Windows\system32\FLV.ax" , if FLV.ax is inside C:\Windows\system32, otherwise use your own path for the file.

I've been taking some of my DVD's including BD's and converting to Mpeg's for my media center PC. I can't seem to figure out how to take a Full Screen movie and keep it Full Screen for playback. I either get the traditional 4:3 (Black bars on the sides) or 16:9 (Black bars on top and bottom). Does anyone have the settings to make it Full Screen?
Thanks,
Dave

What type of output are you playing the videos on? Is it a monitor, HDTV, or what?

I'm guessing it's not a 4:3 monitor/tv since you get black bars on the sides of 4:3 encoded video, so it's possible that your monitor/tv isn't 16:9. Most widescreen computer monitors are 16:10, so there will be black bars at the top and bottom of 16:9 video.

Is there any image distortion on the outputted videos? Is the source footage 16:9 or 4:3?

Hi
OK, but how to convert full screen on 16x10 monitor to avoid top and bottom black bar.
Thanks
Chandna

Ideally, you want the black bars on a 16:10 monitor if your footage is 16:9; that means there's no distortion and you're not cropping the image.

If you really want to have full screen on a 16:10 monitor, you'd have to either stretch the image vertically a little or chop off the sides.

Hello all.


I have created a track containing two avi clips both with subs. I have had a look at the simulation and no probs. But...as soon as i go into track settings and "link clips" i get an error when trying to run the simulation
"clip GOP too long for a DVD-video". This puzzles me as nothing has changed except linking the clips.

Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think this is a known problem that you can just ignore. You should be able to output your project and be able to play it with no problems.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a whirl.

Hi I am hopeing someone may be able to help me.

I am trying to convert an AVCHD file to WMVHD

I have tried using tmpg 4 (latest version) to do this. If I use the AVCHD file reader in the software then the conversion will not even start. This is irrelevant of output settings.

If I turn this off and then use the direct file reader I have several issues:

After about an hour of encoding it just freezes. I have tried cbr 1 pass, cbr 2 pass and vbr (av/peak) 2 pass.

Same thing happens. I have tries with/without cuda, and turning off multithreading....

Please help this is driving me mad !

Hello, I think...
This is possible because an over heat issue, does it also comes when you
precess other file formats?.

How about your CPU temperature?, try also by open your PC cabinet, in
order to make it cooler.
Also try by update your video and graphic card's drivers, if your
graphic card is old model is possible that is related with the problem,
so you may need a new model.

When processing heavy files like AVCHD files there require CPU and graphic card power, or a high performance of both them.
This could be related with hardware performance, also try to disable the preview screen when encoding.
good luck

Thanks,
None of these things seem to be the issue, I am running a core i7 in a HUGE case with a HUGE fan and it never get up above 40 degrees no matter what you do to it. I'm not running CUDA as I have had problems with it because my PC has multiple accounts on it. I have a GTX 260 with the latest drivers including CUDA on it.

I can roar through pretty much any other format, the usual one being 1080p or 720p MKVs, I can back up a full DVD disc in minutes .... Everything else seems fine.

The file is an mpeg transport stream, on two pass it goes through the first pass fine then just seems to stop very quickly into the encode. It seems like a memory issue, I have 6 gig of ddr3 although currently under win xp it of course only "sees" 3.

I haven't tried disabeling the preview, although on this system there seems to be negligable difference btween off, partial and full. But I'll give anything a go !

Any other suggestions ?
