Let me start out by saying I like this Authoring program a lot, but just like others out there, there is no "perfect" one program out there for everybody.
Simple things like copying and pasting an object would be a huge benefit to have as well as copying and pasting buttons and relinking them.
When converting a bluray project to a dvd project all the highlights for the thumbnails are missing on the DVD project !!! The bluray works fine.I tried burning to a new disc of different manufacture, didn't work. I tried a different highlight color, nope. I tried deleting the output folder and re-encoding to a new folder, which takes a year and a day every time, nada. I tried open with conversion a second time, a third time, negative.

Checked global menu highlight settings, which always reverts back to highlight tab 1 by the way.
Checked opacity of highlight, set at 100%. It does remember the opacity and highlight style just not the tab.
It will not show up on a Samsung Bluray player so I tried a different Standard JVC DVD player and BINGO, it does show up. Obviously I need it to be compatible with as many players as possible. This has always been my crutch of the projects no matter which program I use, and I have used a lot. Anyone else have this problem? Any thoughts? Happy Holidays !!

I will like to know how can I load all my AVCHD files on a SSD, or external drive, and play on my SONY Blu-Ray. All files has the same name "Private".
I tried to rename, the system doesn't work.
Thank you

I'm creating a Blu-ray Top Menu and would like to add an additional button to link to the Track Menu. It doesn't let me copy or add another button. Is it possible? Thanks.

That's one limitation that hurts. You can't add/change buttons. Sometimes, I have a headache thinking of a way to build a Blu-ray the way I want. :-\

Hi,

I would like to know if do you have a plan to support next blu-ray format, Ultra HD, for 4k videos.

Thanks in advance

Some time perhaps, when the market is over flowing with Blu-ray players, who actually supports Ultra HD.
Current status of Ultra HD disc supporting players on the market: Zero
Current status of actual Ultra HD released Blu-ray disc movies on the market: Zero

Pegasys has plenty of time to develop a UHD version of TAW, because the market most likely will not be over flowing with UHD players before mid 2018. Not judged by the current development speed of the UHD supporting players, which is actually rather slow.

I often find my 1080i/50 originated videos a bit too "soft" when converted to PAL DVD-compliant MPEG2 video (of course I understand it's been downscaled to 576 lines). I use Lanczos. Any other parameter I could adjust to achieve the sharpest possible result ?

My Mastering Works has stopped joining clips. Now, if I edit several clips together, and click "encode", the outputted result is several separate clips. Can someone tell me what I may have clicked to have caused this, and how I can revert to the normal output?

In advance, thanks very much.

Please disregard my question. I found the answer. Very sorry for the distraction.

I have a problem when I importe TS. During the encoding process, Tmpgenc failed : the message is "a error occurred communicating with the output process. Faulting Module : MovieMPEG.wme".
My OS : win 7 x64.

Please, add allow edit Subme parameter for x264 encoding to Motion Search Setting section in MP4 File Advanced Output settings. Because I can not make encoding parameters higher than 9 value of Subme x264 parameter.


However, the best decision is: allow to user in Advanced setting make edit of x264 encoder parameters string before encoding.

P.S. Please, tell me: how correlation between "Quality" setting (from 1 to 100) with CRF x264 parameter in Constand Quality MP4 encode settings?

Oops, sorry. I found Subme parameter setting and more... Just had to scroll down in Advanced section.

Administrator, plase delete this Request.

When I try drag and move frame with not zero the Rotation Angle clip parameter on the Timeline Preview window I getting drop Rotation Angle setting

Hi,I have a problem with Intel Media SDK encoding. I start the encoding 20% ,%45 %80 good processing but is freezing and "abort" function not working not responding. If i select the x264 no problem. I need fast encoding .

Using the disk burning portion of TAW5 I can burn a list of .MKV files to a 25 GB disk. However I would like to have a home page menu that would allow selecting one of the files, play the file, then return to the main menu for another selection. As it is now, the disk shows the list of .MKV files but once a file has started playing it will continue through the rest of all the remaining consecutive files without returning to the home page menu after each file.

Help anyone.

What did you select for "Track playback end action" in "Blu-ray global menu settings"? I believe it is defaulted to "Play the next track" but you should select "Display the track menu (or the top menu if none)" to automatically return to the menu.

Thanks for your reply. I already have the menu set to play one track then return to the top menu. I'm not describing the problem properly: I'm converting files to .MKV because there is very little loss in quality and our Blu-Ray players can play .MKV files. More specifically, when I select "Blu-Ray" in trying to use the 25 GB of the disk, TAW5 converts the files to .m2ts format (Blu-Ray) blowing the files back up to the much, much larger Blu-Ray file size. Same if I select DVD; the files are pumped back up to a greater size (standard DVD). When I use only the "Disk Burning tool" I can drag the files to the tool window and burn all the .MKV files, and that does provide a menu like structure - but there is no returning to the top menu at the end of each track. TAW5 does an excellent job in making a Blu-Ray formatted disks, but I need a much simpler method of being able to return to Menu top after each file and still use the 25 GB disk size. It just not seem possible in TAW5 to do so it seems.

Then, TAW5 is not exactly the tool you are looking for. Maybe something like this will be more helpful.

I have never used the utility above, and am unsure if the top menu will properly play on your blu-ray player, tho'.

Thank you very much..I'll give it a try..

Why not have shortcuts for many actions from context menu on the timeline???
For examples, why not have shortcut for "Split Clip at Preview Position" action?

Why not have elementary function for any video editor as Delete Selected Range with offset to the left?
