TMPGEnc Authoring Works

DVD and Blu-ray authoring refers to the process of creating 100% working video disc content for DVD and Blu-ray players. In the big picture, this operation comes after the actual creation of the movie and before the burning procedure. The top software selection of this particular category includes Adobe Encore, Roxio Creator, DVD Flick, DeVeDe, DVDAuthorGUI, DVDStyler, AVStoDVD or CyberLink Media Suite.

TMPGEnc Authoring Works sits in the same class as the applications mentioned above, lending a friendly helping hand whenever a DVD, Blu-ray or AVCHD creation process occurs. The developers also add the fact that this `should be fun, not confusing`. By the looks of it, the program may just do that by bringing an intuitive yet modular interface alongside its professional yet colorful touch.

The welcome screen of the application lays out everything you need to start working on your disc authoring. You can easily select your desired format from `DVD Video`, `Blu-ray BDMV` or `AVCHD for DVD / Progressive / HDD / Memory` as well as the color encoding system (PAL / NTSC). TMPGEnc Authoring Works also provides a `Disc Writing Tool` to burn your disc-ready material.

Once you customize your project settings and proceed by clicking on the `New Project` button, the `Source Wizard` window will pop on the screen, allowing you to choose the method to add clips to your project – files stored locally or from various mediums such as DVD, BD, DV / HDV capture or pictures. You can select the clip addition method in the next step and opt for the `Clip editor` and multiple tracks.

The Source area of the program delivers great editing features like `Clip & Chapter / Subtitle or Transition edit` as well as fine audio / video track customization capabilities. You can add a menu to your project by setting its aspect ratio, resolution and template. In order to preview your current project, the application offers a simulation dedicated section for testing purposes. Finally, the `Output` zone is where you decide on the target media and the burning parameters.

TMPGEnc Authoring Works features the latest technologies such as AVCHD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator or NVIDIA CUDA as means to supply the demands of both beginners and advanced users. The synergy between its powerful engine and the sleek looks makes this authoring application easy and fun to use while producing high-definition burn-ready media content.
