Supports 16:9 aspect ratio material |
When using a source file with an aspect ratio of 16:9, it will squeeze the image during the authoring process. Setting it to 4:3 letterbox you can achieve a normal aspect ratio, when seeing it on a 4:3 TV. The pan scan signal is not included. |

Audio format conversion |
When using different audio formats in the same track, these will automatically be formatted to the same audio format. |

|
Bilingual audio |
It is possible to make a multi audio DVD-Video from MPEG fles captures from a bilingual TV program, by isolating the main audio and the sub audio into independent audio streams. |

- Product specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
- Using captured MPEG files or files made by other encoding siftware might result in sound gaps and other problems. Please use the 30 days free trial to test your MPEG sources.
*1 We support inputting files made by the TMPGEnc series, but files made from other sources might not be compatible. Please use your 30 days free trial to test whether your files are compatible. When using captured files, sound gaps often occur, so please use source files longer than one hour to test if such gaps should occur.
*2 The combined video and audio bitrate can be max 10 Mbps.
*3 TMPGEnc Sound Plug-in AC-3 is necessary to encode mp2, linear PCM to Dolby Digital (AC-3) 2ch audio or vice versa.
*4 Main audio will be in the left channel and sub audio will be in the right channel.
*5 It is possible to re-edit files authored by other software than TMPGEnc DVD Author, however we cannot guarantee it.
*6 In order to use this function, it is necessary to have a PC system that includes drive, device driver, etc. that corresponds to the object media. If the file cannot be copied in Windows, you cannot use this function. Whether or not your system will be able to read such files is determined by many different factors, and we are therefore unfortunately not able to answer any questions how to solve this.
The VRO files written below are different from the DVD-Video standard and cannot be used.
・VRO files with changing video bitrate such as Advanced VRO.
・Files with other resolutions than 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, or 352x240.
・Files where the audio format has not been standardized to LinearPCM, MPEG-1 Audio Layer2, or Dolby Digital (AC-3) audio.
