Is one listed as Playlist and the other Program? If they both look the same, it won't matter which one you choose.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, the Program files are the actual AV data on the disc. The Playlist files reference the Program files, but can differ since they have the ability to reference certain sections of the program files instead of the entire program file. That's why TAW5 will display both, in case the playlist files have a different composition than the program file.
I rending to Blu ray format and then use writing tool to make blu ray ISO.
I use daemon tool lite for mount ISO and open with cyberlink power dvd 11.
Cyberlink power dvd have error massage "disk not support"
Cyberlink does not support daemon tools. They do not allow you to use virtual drives anymore because of piracy. Sorry but you are going to have to use some other software.
Indeed the policy of PowerDVD has changed over time, but it IS still possible to create and play ISO files.
The most important thing is the folder structure of your Blu-Ray disc before you make it an ISO.
There must be 2 folders: BDMV and CERTIFICATE.
The certificate folder must be empty!
The BDMV Folder MUST contain the following 8 folders (they can be empty, but MUST be there)
AUXDATA, BACKUP, BDJO, CLIPINF, JAR, META, PLAYLIST, STREAM
The BACKUP Folder MUST contain the following 4 folders:
BDJO, CLIPINF, JAR, PLAYLIST
Only if you have this structure you can make this into an ISO which you then can mount with a mount program (virtual clonedrive is a free one) and PowerDVD 10-11-12 will see it as a playable disc.
There have been times when I want to re-encode the video, but not the audio. I think it would be nice if there was a feature that allows you to just 'copy' the audio rather than re-encoding it.
For example, I have some video's that I recorded from my Panasonic HDC-HS900 that are 1080p at 60fps with Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) and I'd like to re-encode it to 1080p 30fps, but just copy the audio as-is into an MKV file. That way hopefully I wouldn't loose any sound quality by re-encoding it.
Sometimes just copying the video and audio codecs to a different container is nice too, like copying the h.264 video and the AC3 audio from the MTS file to MKV.
A couple of days back, I rushed to put a long AVI (DV) video to DVD and forgot to click PAL....result, the movie plays stuttering (due to 25 to 30 fps conversion) :( ...and of course, I erased the AVI file before I realized that :( :( :(
Sorry to ask this if it has already been addressed.
Are there any keyboard shortcuts available when in the Cut-Edit mode.
E.g. start point/ end point/ remove the marked area?

Any suggestions on making timelapse videos using TMPGEnc 5? I have several hundred JPEGs I would like to assemble together into a timelapse video. Each photo will be one frame/30 photos per second.
1. Import using "From pictures as slideshow". The problem with this approach - the minimum display time for each photo is 1 second. Even using the framerate filter set to max. of 1000% produces 10fps which does not look smooth. I could reencode a 2nd time with the framerate set to 300%, however this is not an efficient workflow and I'll lose quality with the double video encode.
2. Import the photos in timeline mode, then manually go through hundreds of photos setting the interval to 00:00:00.03 . However, once again, this is a very inefficient workflow, plus the frame rate interval actually needs to be 0.033333 for a smooth framerate.
On the framerate, as a general improvement I think Pegasys should allow us to specify any framerate - I am continually bumping up against 1000%. Also personally I would find a multiplier 0.75 (75%), 1.0 (100%), 10.0 (1000%), 30.0 (3000%) somewhat more intuative to work with.
Also on my wishlist, the ability to slide the framerate smoothly between 2 values using a timeline FX filter.
solved! everytime I started the prog it told me quicktime wasn't installed
I ignored it and the prog crashed everytime I tried to import ac3 or mpv
for a motion menu
installed quicktime and didn't have anymore problems
I am trying to create a Bluray. Have added all source files (14)but the Menu button is not active. Only the Start & Source buttons are active. I have even reduced the number of source files but still does not work.
I have downloaded the latest update but still nothing.
What kind of files are you trying to author and make menus for? I know that, when I use ArcSoft Showbiz to capture, if I capture in TS or M2TS mode, I can make menus, but (as I recall...) if I capture MP4 files, I cannot create a menu in TAW-4.
There may be other settings you need to change in order to conform to Blu-ray standards. Post the full details of your source file if you can; you can use a program called MediaInfo to get a detailed report.
Here are the info, hope someone would tell me what's wrong:

I generated BluRay compliant TS streams with x264 and want to author those using TAW5, but no matter what settings I try, it always reencodes the whole programm.
So far, I tested the following options:
- "prevent this track from the target size adjustment"
- "output setting" -> automatic (smart rendering prioritized)
Am I missing some ther options here ?
However, using tsMuxeR for outputting those file as BD works just fine and every player I tried accepts those disks, but obviously, tsMuxeR has no option for authoring at all.
Stream details are as follows:
General
ID : 1 (0x1)
Complete name : Heimat_1.ts
Format : MPEG-TS
File size : 11.8 GiB
Duration : 46mn 1s
Overall bit rate mode : Variable

Maximum Overall bit rate : 35.5 Mbps
I would surely appreciate any kind of feedback on this matter ...
On a side note, I noticed the transcoding process causes the videolevels to be ajusted from full to legal levels and that's a major show stopper, since I'm usually working with video legal levels in my clips already.
I think Pegasys does monitor this forum but they won't respond, so I recommend that people contact support if they want a response or if they want to make sure a request/bug is seen.
But to make it short, that book is total overkill to read, so I'll keep it pragmatical and take the trail and error approach.
Right now, I'm trying to encode a 23.976p stream that's supposed to not get reencoded and I'll post the setting, once I'll find them to be compatible with TAW.
that depends on what software you are using ... my example is for the cmd-line version of x264.exe, but I'd think that every GUI frontend for x264 has an option for entering those parameters as well
If you're using TVMW5, you need to select "MPEG file output" to access the advanced h.264 settings. It's a bit difficult to figure out which settings match those parameters though.
I tried all possible settings MP4, M2TS, and TS in the HDPVR and NONE of the files smart rendered in Authoring Works 5. A TS file created a few years ago from the HDPVR did smart render though.
the difference in the video properties were
The 720p/59.94 TS file from a few years ago that smart rendors shows ...nonmbaff.
I noticed thata TS file buff=4, ref=4,nonmbaff smart rendors but buff=2, ref=2, nonmbaff does not smart rendor
The TS 1080i/60 file that does not smart rendors shows both...mbaff, nonmbaff
I'm not sure if this function is available, but I can find no reference of it.
It would save me a significant amount of time if when creating a DVD Menu, I could import the source video's file name (without the extension), or possibly info from the file's metadata, to track and chapter titles. Currently, I have to type these by hand, which is incredibly time consuming when I have 30+ source videos.
It would even be an advantage to be able to just see the source video title when a certain chapter or track is selected during menu editing. That would save me having to exit the DVD Menu section and click over to the Source section just to see which source video is under each track.
Go to the Preferences-->Project default settings, and for Track title, select "Auto fill first clip name." That way, it should use the name of the first clip you add to a track.
You can also choose to use the clip name for chapters.
