Hi
I have a problem with authoring a Bluray with TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5. The contents is just a movie and one trailer. A main menu is shown. My intention is that after the ending of the movie track, the main menu shows again, but now, no matter what, it continues to play the next track, the trailer.
The track structure is as follows:
- A "First Play" track has a company logo and a legal disclaimer
- Another track has the movie
- Another track has the trailer.
I believe the option for the desired behaviour must be configured during the menu creation, where I set up the structure and behaviour of the Bluray
My process is as follows:
Page 1: I select “Create a custom menú by choosing layout and ítems”
Page 2: I check “Create a unique page for audio and subtitles selector” and “When displaying a menú during playback, display the menu page containing current title/chapter”.
Page 3: Here I chose custom, (not relevant now)
Page 4: I have checked “Top and Track menu” y “Add pop-up menu”
Page 5: In this page I think is the problem I'm seeing. I have checked under “Disc insert action” : “Display the top menu” and under “Track playback end action”: also “Display the top menu”.
I think that means when the movie track ends, the main menu should be shown, but it doesn't. We have tested the other options: “Display track menú” and “Play the next track” but it always plays the next track, the trailer.
Please, am I doing something wrong? Is there another setting that overides this?

How to reset TMPGEnc Mpeg Editor 3
I have a license key. I purchased a license in 2011
Running ASUS Z10PE-D8, 2x Xeon E5-2699, 64GB memory and W8.1 64bit. When I enable the NVIDIA CUDA option associated to the K6000 can successfully encode in H.264/AVC & NVENC mode.
Q1. When I start VMW6 I get message "Cannot use the NVEC encoder currently because it was not able to verify the availability of the NVENC encoder. Is this normal?
Q2. When the K40c is selected, I do not get the option of selecting NVENC as the Video Encoder?
It's similar to animation in the timeline; you select a clip, then in the properties panel, activate Time Remap. The Time Remap layer will appear and you can add keypoints to change the speed at certain points. See the help file for more info: http://help.pegasys-inc.com/en/tvmw6/03220.html#08
I have burned quite a few BluRay disks with TVMW5, authoring each with TAW5. ANd they have all played perfectly on BluRay players. Today, however, I tried to have TVMW5 input a file from a BluRay disk I burned recently(the disk plays perfectly in a Samsung desktop player) but all I get is an error message saying that"Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupted, or it is using a format that is not compatible with Windows". The system is Windows XP/service pack 3, 32 bit. Incidentally, I get the same error message hwn I attempt to use TAW5> I obviously have a BluRay burner in the system so cannot understand why I cannot read the very BluRay disks that I burn with Pegasus software. Is there a work around solution for this? If I upgrade to version 6 will that solve the problem?software..
Incidentally....BluRay disks burned using TVMW5/TAW5 cannot be opened with the latest VLC play. What goes. VLC says they don't recognize the format????
Actually, I originally used Nero 10 when I first got into Blu-Ray; but about a third of the disks would not play in some Blu-Ray players. The ones I have burned now with TAW5 have not had the problem and have worked in everyone's Blu-Ray players - so far anyway. Regardless, I'll give Nero another go at it. Thanks for the advice.
I shot and then edited a series of HD videos in Edius. They are 1920X1080 29.97 fps, NTSC. My client wants to be able to edit in iMovie. I was wondering what format and specific settings you might recommend that would give her decent video quality.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
I have been using TMPGVMW5 for a few years now and recently purchased TMPGVMW6.
I tried to replicate the work that I have done previously in VMW5 using VMW6. Primarily I reencode 720p/59.94 AVI files to MP4 to author Blu-ray discs.
Here is the Media info for an example input file:
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format profile : OpenDML
File size : 639 GiB
Duration : 1h 43mn
Overall bit rate : 888 Mbps
Video
ID : 0
Format : YUV
Codec ID : UYVY
Codec ID/Info : Uncompressed 16bpp. YUV 4:2:2 (Y sample at every pixel, U and V sampled at every second pixel horizontally on each line). A macropixel contains 2 pixels in 1 u_int32.
Duration : 1h 43mn
Bit rate : 884 Mbps
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 720 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 59.940 fps
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:2
Compression mode : Lossless
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 16.000
Stream size : 636 GiB (100%)
In VMW5 I use the following settings:
Output Stream Type - MPEG-2 Transport (VBR)
Format - Blu-ray (BDMV) - MPEG-4 AVC
Profile - High @ Auto (Level 4.1)
Rate control - VBR
Setting - 2-pass
Entropy coding - CABAC
Performance - very slow
Output Multiplexer - Sytem (Video + Audio)
When it is done I get a file like the following:
(Please ignore the sizes as this output is not from the input file listed above)
Format : MPEG-TS
File size : 20.6 GiB
Duration : 2h 7mn
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 23.2 Mbps
When I do the same thing in VMW6 I use the following (not all of the options have the same names).
System Stream Format - MPEG-2 Transport (HDMV)
Format - Blu-ray (BDMV) - H.264/AVC
Profile - High @ Auto (Level 4.1)
Rate control - VBR
Setting - 2-pass
Entropy coding - CABAC
Performance - very slow
Output Stream Type - Sytem (Video + Audio)
When it is done I get a file like the following:
Format : BDAV
Format/Info : Blu-ray Video
File size : 20.4 GiB
Duration : 2h 7mn
Overall bit rate mode : Variable
Overall bit rate : 23.0 Mbps
Maximum Overall bit rate : 36.3 Mbps
I noticed that the video quality is lower in VMW6. I see more blockiness and noise around the edges of the faces in the video.
Looking at the differences in output files I see a few things.
VMW5 VMW6
Format MPEG-TS : BDAV
Video
Id 512 (0x200) : 4113 (0x1011)
I do not know what the change in format or video id means? I believe I am using the same settings, but it looks like it is using a different container format?
As for the x.264 encoder settings they are almost the same as well except for a few.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong in VMW6? Why is my output format different and why is the video quality lower?
I want to get video of the same quality as I was getting in VMW5. I might have to go back to using it.
One thing I noticed is that VMW6 is faster than VMW5. Using the very slow setting I get 9 1/2 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video. With VMW6 with very slow it took 6 hours to re-encode ~2 hours of video.
Can you make those x.264 settings the same? That QPmin in particular should be changed to the same as in v5. Lower numbers there create lower quality. It stands for Minimum Quantization Parameter.
I am not sure if I can change those settings. I exclusively use the normal user interface. It appears they have changed the settings in the x.264 encoder behind the scenes. By that I mean if I chose the same setting knobs in the user interface, the commands passed to x.264 are different.
Is there a way for me to change what gets passed to x.264 by hand?
As it is I am very disappointed in VMW6 and will never use the product. I am also very disappointed in the support I am being given by Pegasys with this issue.
New AMD build with 8-core AMD 8370 is so slow, TMSR4 and TVMW5 edit and preview are not just slow, they're sloppy and jerky. Encoding/rendering is OK, but the edit and preview players are almost unusable.. Everything else on this machine runs like fireworks, but....wow, talk about TMPGenc being slooooow now.
Formerly this software was on an AMD 4-core, and operation was pretty normal. That 4-core ASUS motherboard's gone now.
I can't be the only user with this problem. What gives with more CPU cores, and why do TMPGenc's preferences say only 1 core is working? TMPgenc's newer software is are the only installedapps with this problem. After Effects Pro had no performance change at all when I installed it on this new PC, and neither did any media players (in fact, all media improved now).
A carry-over question from version 5:
Is there a way to sort the list of saved custom output templates by name? As I add templates, it gets more difficult to find the ones I have saved; they seem to be listed in order-of-creation.
Oh, and for what it's worth: the flat UI skin is just fine. The layout is a bit improved, and you still beat Adobe in terms of flexibility and output quality.
When importing H.265 TS file using TS import TVW6 reports the file to be H.264.
However when I import same file "as is" it imports VRY slowly but with success.. I find everything happens very slowly but have the program just 1 hour
I have one desktop computer with Windows Vista running VMW5 and a laptop with Windows 8. Can I install the VMW6 upgrade on the Win8 Laptop and still keep running VMW5 on the desktop? Obviously I won't be running both at the same time. I'm a long time customer and own just about all of your products. Cheers.
If you upgrade, your TVMW5 license will be terminated. If you want to keep using TVMW5, you will have to do their User Discount option. It's still cheaper than buying TVMW6 at full price.
If you do that, then yes, you'll be able to use both programs, and at the same time.
I'm attempting to create a bluray disc using a M4V file which is 27GB.
Authoring works states the file is to large to fit onto a 25GB BD-R so I've set the target media size to 25GB.
However, when the BDVM folder is created the bluray discs is reduced to 12GB and the picture quality isn't a patch on the original file.
I expected Authoring Works to encode the BDMV to fill a whole disc not half of the disc. It certainly did this with Authoring Works 4 when using 1080i MPEG 2 files.
I've tired varying the encoding settings but I can't get Authoring Works 5 to encode the bluray to more than 12GB with noticeable inferior picture quality to that of the original, even when using slow and very slow encoding options.
I have also tried to set a custom target size to 22GB but this still didn't work and resulted in a BDMV of 12GB.
The bitrate on the original file is around 25Mbps and the file encoded by Authoring Works is 12Mbs. Can this be increased to improve picture quality and fill the BD?
At present my only workaround is to use 50GB BD-R and apply no re-encoding in Authoring Works or re-encode the original source file in Premiere CC so it will fit on a 25GB BD. However, before I do this can anyone provide a solution for Authoring Works.
The source video file is 25fps M4V running just over 2 hours.
