Question - TMSR4 - Concatenate MP4 AVC (High@L5.1) files No.70064
benoitm  2015-11-26 01:13:01 ( ID:3faynov/c9o )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have a series of MP4 files that were created by a Panasonic camcorder during a long uninterrupted recording, these are so-called spanned clips.
The files are MP4 AVC (High@L5.1) 3840x2160 25 fps (70 Mbps) and should be concatenated losslessly. Audio is 256 kbps AAC (LC).
Using TMSR4, I get the choice to either encapsulate the result as MPEG file or MKV file - MP4 is greyed out (why ??? I only have Master and Smart clips at input stage !) !
For the MPEG file option, I get two options for the Container: MPEG-2 Program or MPEG-2 Transport.
The first option causes full reencode ("rescue") of the complete audio stream (why ???), while the second option results in a file that is obviously no longer a MPEG-4 container, and is not accepted by my editing software.
I can of course import and "stitch" the original MP4 files together directly inside my editing app, but for some reason this is not an acceptable solution.
I really want to concatenate these MP4 files together seamlessly.
If TMSR4 can't do it transparently, what options do I have ?

"MP4 is greyed out (why ??? I only have Master and Smart clips at input stage !)"

>> Here is the explanation:"The Variable Quantization Matrix of the MPEG-4 AVC parameter does not meet the standard"

>>So this camcorder produces illegal MP4 files ?
>>Can't I force TMSR4 to accept anyway ?


benoitm  2015-11-27 18:58:59 ( ID:whrqtudrlcm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Despite the explanation, I'm still looking for a solution/workaround !
How can I force TMSR4 to override the "illegal" Variable Quantization Matrix produced by the camcorder ?

Rather Urgent...
Thanks

You can only contact Pegasys support about this. It is true that when it comes to Smart Renderer 4, they are being slow to update its various problems. Their last update dates back to July 2015, which is not reassuring at all. They used to respond much quicker to user problems with new updates.

You could probably join (=append) those files as MKV with MKVToolnix without re-encoding. If you absolutely need MP4, you can try MP4Box. It's a command-line tool but it should be easy enough. There also GUI's available for it.



Question - TAW5 BBS - Only first 10 sec of music plays in DVD menu No.70059
furstt  2015-11-23 22:13:18 ( ID:mpggkdovp4n )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hello-

I am using Authoring Works ver. 5.2.4.63 and I am seeing the following:
* Creating a DVD with a static menu (png image)
* I add a 7 min music clip (have tried MP3, wma and wav)
* In both simulation mode & the actual DVD, the audio clip only plays for 10 sec and...
* Then the audio clip loops over and over - even though I did not select looping in the Background Music menu

When I select the background music (in the menu screen), the entire music clip is selected and the full 7 mins plays.

Any ideas of what I can check? Thanks!


HagbardCeline  2016-04-08 12:49:25 ( ID:4c.rsdoj8lf )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


Looks in the global menu settings under motion menu. There is a box where you control the length of the motion menu loop. Just because you add a 7 minute video, it doesn't automatically change this setting to use the full video. (which personally I wish it would)



Question - TAW5 BBS - Blu Ray BDXL 100GB discs No.70057
SmeltzerDeltzer  2015-11-22 16:38:44 ( ID:0axaxmd3kwm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I recently purchased a few 100B bdXL discs. Is there a way to use them within Authoring works 5? I noticed it only goes up to 50GB.

Any and all help would be appreciated.



Persen  2015-11-29 21:06:10 ( ID:6tr/46zxmom )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

You can't use those discs any way in your Blu-ray player.
The first players to hit the market, who will have BDXL support, won't arrive before 2016, which are UHD Blu-ray players from Samsung and Panasonic.
Not a single one of the current Blu-ray players supports these discs.

Also, did you check the specs for your Blu-ray writer, if it actually has BDXL support?



Question - TAW5 BBS - Simple 4 item menu selection No.70056
Alpha1  2015-11-22 08:42:16 ( ID:aitjvxtmffr )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I want to create an extremely simple menu for Blu-Ray disks. When the disk is inserted it should show 4 selections (tracks) on a main menu. The selected track should play immediately when chosen without any other pages shown. Upon finishing the selected track it should return to the original simple menu. No chapters, no subtitles, nothing except simply open a main menu when the disk is inserted, go to the track selected, finish the track and go back to the main menu. No other selections involved at all.

Is this possible in TAW5?

I have tried at least a dozen different combinations on the custom menu choices with no real success. I keep getting intermediate (one example: chapter pages are shown) and can't get an opening insertion page that shows for track selections only.

Any assistance will be GREATLY appreciated..



Free talk - TAW5 BBS - TAW5 SmartRender Success with Hauppauge HD-PVR 2 1080/30p Recordings! No.70049
TomLewandowski  Home )  2015-11-18 00:59:01 ( ID:mxbomomsx3n )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]


After months of frustration trying to import Hauppauge PVR 1920x1080 30p video files into TAW5 without full rendering their output, I’ve ‘stumbled’ on a solution. I’ve read a number of comments on various forums that have echoed my frustrations, so I wanted to share how I’m able to import ‘BDMV – Smart Render compliant’ 1920x1080/30p Hauppauge PVR-2 recorded video, into TAW5 … with NO encoding required.

This solution requires the use of NERO VIDEO, since this program doesn’t have issues importing Hauppauge 1920x1080 HD files and treats them as BDMV compatible video, right from the start. However, if you do any editing whatsoever of the captured video while in NERO VIDEO, the program will tag the original progressive files -- as ‘interlaced’ – and that will produce video files that are no longer Smart Render-compliant when imported into TAW5. Therefore, they need to be imported into NERO through the program’s “CREATE AND EXPORT” utility (not the “EDIT AND IMPORT” utility.)

I’ve tested this solution with NERO VIDEO 12 and NERO VIDEO 2014, so I imagine NERO 2015/2016 would work as well. I also used the original Arcsoft Capture Utility to capture the video; it has setting options not found in the Hauppauge Capture utility.

ARCSOFT CAPTURE 1920x1080 (30p) HD RECORDING SETTINGS:

- VIDEO ENCODER: Set bitrate to maximum (14000 kbps), Constant Mode. I haven’t found any differences in using either the M2TS, TS, or MP4 containers. Nor do any AC3 or AAC settings interfere with TAW5’s Smart Render requirements.

- VIDEO PROPERTIES: Set GOP ‘B Frames’ to “1”, ‘Size’ to “3”, and ‘Muxed Data Rate’ to “3”.

- HAUPPAUGE H264 ENCODER: Select “Defaults” in the Video Encoder section, or make certain that the Profile and Level are set to “HIGH 4.0”.


As long as there’s no corrupt video data present, NERO VIDEO (v.12 or higher) should import Hauppauge recorded video without the need for any encoding.

(The following assumes you know how to use Nero Video.)

Using NERO VIDEO, select “Create A Blu-ray Disc”. Import your recording(s) into the CONTENT menu. Continue to the MENU CREATION options and select NOT to create menus. Continue to the final, PROJECT SUMMARY screen. Your imported video should show “Video SmartEncoding as 100%”. The audio is irrelevant. Write the project to a directory on your hard drive. When complete, open the BDMV/STREAM directory and find your .m2ts videos …. which are now ready to import into TAW5 as “Smart Render” compliant video files.

You can double-check with MediaInfo to make sure the file(s) are still read as Progressive. Also, that ReFrames is at “3” (not, “2”), Format Profile is “High@L4” (not, “4.1”).

I brought this issue to the attention of the programmers at Hauppauge a few years ago, they refused to fix it, and I gave up trying. The problem is a simple one. The hardware programing did not strictly follow the blu ray standard for setting a certain video flag for 1920x1080. It will work ok for 720P format because the flag is correct for 720p. I am out of town and need to look up the flag in my notes when I get home.



Question - TVMW6 - Har cut with audio cross fade No.70036
teutales  2015-11-14 07:00:43 ( ID:nzq0phqfteg )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi, I want to create movies from camcorder mpeg-4 files with hard cuts between two scenes. But I want to cross fade the audio of this files. The idea is to cut the last second of the first and the first second of the second video and use the overlapipng second of audio for the cross fade. But I do not find a simple way to do that. Do I overlook something?

I didn't realize my clock was an hour off until after my first video at a deposition. Does anyone know how to remove a timestamp from a video?


tkrave  2015-11-13 08:12:31 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

If it's encoded into the video, then the only way to get rid of it is to cover it up or blur it out. If you are putting the correct timestamp on it, you can cover it with a solid-colored rectangle and then put the correct timestamp over it. Or blur that area and then put the timestamp on top of that.



Bug report - TVMW6 - Group movement clips on the timeline leads to inaccurate position clip set No.70024
Sergey  2015-11-11 03:26:19 ( ID:xufxt614d3m )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

When I make moving group of selected clips that setting in two or more layers on the timeline it leads to set inaccurate position this clips and I get offset from each other for one or two frame between clip positions on the timeline.

It infuriates! Please, fix it quickly!!!

(I work with source in 24 progessive frames per second, if this is important)

Request - TAW5 BBS - gaps between chapters, or a new clip property No.70021
GlennD  2015-11-09 10:28:44 ( ID:2anh/oesgcn )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

I have some video scans of 8mm home movies.
I can make transitions at the split points, but all transitions
modify the source, on both chapters at the split point.

In a future version of TAW I would like to be able to insert a gap
(with default value of 2 seconds) at the end of the
chapter before the split point.
The default color should be black.
This gap would not modify any source frames.

Yes, I could insert a picture or a pattern,
but then that makes a new chapter and so the chapter numbers
are all messed up.

So maybe another possibility is to have a clip property
that does *not* increment the chapter number.
The property would be similar to this one:
"Do not display this chapter in the menu"
In this case, the clip would simply be merged with the previous one
into the same chapter.

Thanks for the consideration,
GlennD

I had the same issue. What I did was create a black image with the same resolution as the track, and add it between the tracks, setting its duration to 1sec. Takes a little bit of time, but while there isn't such feature, it helps creating a gap. Problem is you'll have to turn off the image chapter (as it will be taken as a chapter alone) when building menus. Like said, it takes more time. :)



Question - TVMW5 BBS - How to select all files in timeline mode at once No.70012
Patrick S.  2015-11-06 07:31:02 ( ID:rdomyqtrxb. )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Hi,

How to select all files at once in (timeline mode) that are in your timeline accros different layers?

Example:

if i delete a file from the time line there is a gap in the time line all files after the delete file need to be selected and move to the time where the file has been delete to get rid of the gap.

The way i do it now is hold CTRL and select every file that i want to move.
Is the also an other way? and is there a way so select al files at once?

Thanks.


tkrave  2015-11-13 06:56:39 ( ID:t7rw5rdz3jm )   [ Delete / Reply with quotation ]

Easiest way to get rid of gaps is to right-click on the layer header and select the "Bring all clips in this layer to the beginning" option. This will remove all gaps in the layer.

You can't select all clips across all layers, but you can use ctrl+A to select all clips in the selected layer.
