In TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, when I create and apply a custom template to a project, the font size I have selected for the Track Title on a Track Menu is only applied to Page 1 of that track. On pages 2 through N, the font size reverts to 22 point font, the original default IIRC. This behavior did not occur in version 4 and it adversely affects the utility of a custom template.
When you first created the custom template, did you only change the font size on the first track page?
In a quick test I did, it looks like it remembers each individual page setting if multiple pages existed in your original menu that the template is based on.
When you are creating a template and you want to change the font size of something, use the "Edit Menu-->Batch change font for all pages" option. Within that window, you can select/deselect which menu items will be affected and once executed it will apply the change to all pages.
After you're done with the changes, then save as a template.
Ok, thanks for the tip. I went back and remade the template with twice the number of tracks and twice the number of chapters per track that I ever intend to use and now I'm getting the results I want. I hope that was enough.
One thing i would like to see added to a future version of TAW-5, is the choice of using FFDSHOW as the decoder for AVC video, since neither the Standard decoder or Intel Media SDK can decode a few HD movies propperly, who is recorded via DVB-C.
In scenes with very shiny objects or flashlights directed towards the screen. Standard decoder causes very large white/gray pixel error fields.
Using the Intel Media SDK as decoder, causes minor pixel errors in the very same type of scenes as described above.
How ever, playing the videos in question with my media player, where FFDSHOW takes care of the decoding, then the videos are just fine.
I think this is possible if you disable the MPEG file reader in the preferences.
Go to Options-->Preferences-->Input/output format list-->File input plug-in, then uncheck the MPEG file reader. You might have to uncheck everything above the DirectShow file reader.
Looks like your solution actually works. After changing the settings there, i just have to import the .ts files 'as is', then i can see that my Haali Media Splitter, FFDSHOW audio and video decoder also loads.
i am trying out the trial version of "Authoring Works 5"... I have 3 files i want to burn to 1 DVD. Am I right to assume that every file should have its own track?
Also I want to add a thumbnail from each file to the menu. I get a black screen but sound on the playback in attempting to pick my thumbnail
Put clips in separate tracks if you want to play each one separately.
Putting them all in one track will make them play consecutively by default (though there is a new feature which allows you to go back to the menu after a specific chapter).
Typically a black preview screen means that the video overlay mode needs to be disabled or enabled. In older versions of the software, you would right-click the preview screen and toggle the overlay mode. In this latest version, that option appears to be gone, but it may have simply been renamed. Try right-clicking the preview screen and disable/enable "Use fast rendering mode".
The upgrade from 4/23 has not fixed the smart rendering issue. the original video file, avchd h264 hd from my sony camera had a bitrate of about 16000 kb. the outputted file had a bit rate greater than 18000 kbs video. there was no menu, But I used a 24 bit 2304 khz audio file in place of the original 256 hz audio file.
I am trying to take the audio from one mpeg file and combine it with video in another file, but i hace 4.0 express and it won't recognize a wave file or m2p to combine. Does 5.0 do this?
Just download their trial and see for your self, 4.0 express was coveter, v5.0 is video editor and converter too so two-in-one.
v5.0 it will fix your problem :)
I am trying to use TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 to import video from a DVD RAM (.vro file) to my computer. TMPGEnc recognizes the multiple clips on the video (whenever the camera was stopped and restarted I assume) and imports them successfully. But I have not been able to find a way to then save each clip as a separate mpg file (or any video file format for the matter) and I'm wondering if this is even possible. If not, do you have any reccomendations on alternative software to do this? Its critical to me that the software automatically recognizes each clip and allow me to save each one as separate files without having to manual tell it where to split the video. Thanks in advance!
Some NLEs (but not all) state they have the ability to do automatic scene detection and divide video into separate clips based on changes in image content. Liquid, Pinnacle Studio were some that claimed to be able to do it. However, I've not tried it, but suspect the results would be mixed and fooled by events such as a camera flash or scene changes with minimal change in on-screen content.
I'm importing fully edited mpeg2 into TMPEGEnc AW to create a blu-ray disc. All files have the SR icon next to to them, should be smart-rendered. The only thing I want to do is add a few chapters to the video and create a menu.
All goes fine, but the final output has audio sync issues. The audio is not re-encode, it just jump ahead of the video at some point.
When I compare the original file and the output side-by-side (using Videoredo). The audio is perfectly in sync at first. Then, at some point it jumps by one and a half frame (45 ms). It stays like that until later on it jumps by another frame and a half. At that poin, the issue is starting to show.
Each time I use mpeg4 preset with CBR the bitrate is being set to 15000kbps no matter what bitrate I choose.
This is only when I use Intel SDK Hardware at both my laptop Intel QuickSync
or my deksktop Virtu system.
Thank you.
But till now this was working fine.
I haven't had to override the standard mpeg4 settings for that.
I don't understand why the setting for the bitrate is stuck to 15.000.
I see there is an updated version available -- version 5.2.3.66 (March 13)
Having just bought TVMW-5 early this year, I've never installed an update of it on my machine. Do I just download the new version and run the setup again? Will it keep all of my custom settings?
I see that release 5.0.6.23 has been available on the Japan site since April 2nd.
Perhaps it wil be out for the rest of us using release 5.0.5.22 soon.
