Understanding the Basic Functions of TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4

When you start TMPGEnc Authoring Works 4, you will see the screen above.

This article covers the five basic stages that let you author your own DVD, BDMV, or DivX® Ultra project.

The Start Stage: The First Step

All projects start here.

To start a new project, click "Start a New Project", or click "Open A Project File" to open a saved project.

Click on "Source" at the top of the screen to go to the next stage.

The Source Stage: Add Your Files

Add the files (clips) you want to use as a source. You can then cut-edit unwanted scenes, add subtitles, and edit the audio.

The Menu Stage: Create Your Menu

The Menu Wizard will help you create your DVD/BDMV menus. You can create your own custom menus with buttons, backgrounds, note pages, and other various settings.

The Simulation Stage: See What Your Project Will Look Like

The simulator allows you to see how your menu will work on an actual DVD/BD player. You can always go back to the Menu Stage and make changes if necessary.

The Output Stage: Output Your Project

Output your DVD-Video, BDMV, and DivX® Ultra projects.

You can also adjust output settings, such as whether or not you want to burn to disc after rendering.
