TMPGEnc DVD Author 2.1.9.90

With TMPGEnc DVD Author you can change your MPEG-1 / MPEG-2 files to DVD-Video structured files. Using high quality MPEG files made by the TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 series or captured by an MPEG capture device, it is possible to perform your own DVD authoring quick and easy.

The outputted file structure (.ifo, VOB) can be burned to a DVD disc using the DVD Writing Tool included from version 1.5 or using your own DVD writing software.

This way you can create your own original DVDs. Since DVD Author also supports DVD-Video files (VIDEO-TS.ifo) as input files, you can also cut out scenes from your favourite DVD and make a new DVD-Video.

You are also able to create interesting menus using the motion menu feature also included in the product. We recommend you to try this easy to use authoring software.

Here are some key features :

1. Improved DVD Menu Building Wizard
Completely redesigned DVD menu wizard which takes DVD menu creation to a completely new level.
Even though a wide range of new customizable features have been added to it, the DVD menu creation process has become more dynamic and simpler than before.
Also features a large number of brand new pre-designed templates, and in the near future we will provide a download service at our website which allows you to download new template designs.

2. Smart Rendering
Supports frame level MPEG editing features. Frame level editing is the most precise method for MPEG editing because it operates with frame level precision. Until now, frame level editing has required complete re-encoding of output video which has resulted in degradation of output video quality as well as a slow DVD building process. Provides a smart rendering feature that eliminates this problem.
It automatically analyzes video clips and makes sure that only the smallest possible number of frames is re-encoded. In other words, the smart rendering feature dramatically improves the DVD building process in terms of speed while preserving the highest possible video output quality.

3. Transcoding capabilities with Intercom’s® Transcoding Engine
You may often experience that DVD-Video projects become too large to fit onto writable DVD discs when you add more and more content to them.
Contains a transcoding engine from Intercom that helps you solve this problem. Rather than completely re-encoding video contents, the transcoding engine dynamically and rapidly recompresses video data streams with a minimal reduction in quality so that they will fit exactly to the size of the writable DVD media (4.5GB/8.5GB).

Improved Audio Capabilities
For consumer DVD authoring software within its price range, it is the first software package that supports high quality 24bit/96KHz (2 ch)* linear PCM input and output, and it is now also possible to add two simultaneous audio streams per video track. Also supports Input and output of Dolby Digital® audio streams. * The highest possible sound quality within the DVD-Video standard.

4. Creating slideshows
You can create a DVD-Video from your VRO files recorded on a DVD-RAM recorder. Editing can be done easily.

5. Simulation
Comes with an integrated simulator that allows you to preview and tweak a DVD-Video project before burning it to disc. With the simulator you can verify the DVD menu layout, navigation, chapter settings, and playback of tracks as well as slideshows.
