Page 2 of 2


Here you need to select the type of the MPEG file you want to create. Select DVD of course and then it's type depending on the file you have (if it is NTSC or PAL, 16:9 or 4:3). Select whatever you want about the audio, we are not gonna use it anyway.


OK here click Browse and select the video file. In the Content of video field select video for 29,97 fps movies and Film for 23,976 ones. Note that this option appears for NTSC DVDs only. Leave the other options as is, click Next and then Next again to go to the next screen that we need to make setting to!


In the next screen we're gonna have a look in the Expert settings. Locate the expert button somewhere in the right top of the window and click on it.

Now you gotta select what mode you're gonna use. CBR is faster, but VBR (2-pass) will create much better quality file. Note that it's gonna take twice the time CBR takes, so the choice is yours. Motion search precision is OK at the default Motion estimate search (fast) option. Now click Advanced tab.

Here select the right source aspect ratio depending on your source file. In that case it's 16:9 NTSC. In the Video arrange method you should use Full screen (keep aspect ratio). The Inverse telecine option you see selected below, should be selected only for NTSC Film movies, and that it is enabled by default.
The settings we need to make here are done, click OK to go back in the previous screen.


Here you need to set the file size to 99% of the disc. Be sure you select 384 as the audio bitrate, as we need to make sure that both the audio and the video will fit in the disc after authoring. Then click Next.

In the next screen just leave all options blank and click OK to go back in TMPGEnc's main window.

Finally in this window select ES (Video only) and then click Start for the encoding to begin. It's a good idea to wait and see in the preview window if the subtitles are displayed correctly. After encoding finishes you should have an m2v file with MPEG2 video plus subtitles in it and an AC3 audio file. Next comes the authoring, so load TMPGEnc DVD Author and proceed to the next step.


In the first screen of TMPGEnc DVD Author select Create new project.

Select Add file in the next screen.

And open your video.m2v file.

It should look like that after you load the video file. So click Browse and load the ac3 audio file as well.


Everything should be like that after you load both the files. Now you can select Chapter cut edit to add some chapters. Then click OK.


The next steps of the TMPGEnc DVD Author are rather simple and you can see them in detail in tthe authoring guide here.
After authoring finishes you just have to burn, and your DVD, containing AC3 audio and subtitles is ready! To burn you can use TMPGEnc DVD Author's DVD burner or an external program like CopyToDVD.

TMPGEnc DVD Author Cannot Handle Subtitl
written by frstbnd, May 15, 2005
TMPGEnc DVD Author can't handle subtitles so my big question is... Where's the subtitle part on the guide? It vanish after part 1. The guide just ripped the subtitle and left it hanging. You can hard subbed it on the video using virtualdub but you can't turn off the subtitle...

Subtitles
written by afonic, May 18, 2005
You are right, the whole thing with VobSub is appearing the subs in the video that TMPGEnc creates. So yes, the subtitles are hard encoded in the video and can't be turned off.

VirtualDubMod, TMPGENC and Subtitles?
written by jpesker, January 16, 2006
Problems with following this tutorial are that Subtitles are, in fact, NOT HARD-ENCODED into the video (as many other users have also said as well). This is contradictory to what it claims to do and this turtorial should be changed or deleted from this website. Did the author walk through the tutorial to test it?

I agree 100% with the other Post a user claimed that the tutorial just drops the method that actually puts the SRT or subtitles into the movie (the part we all need) And to Afonic's statement, "You are right, the whole thing with VobSub is appearing the subs in the video that TMPGEnc creates. So yes, the subtitles are hard encoded in the video and can't be turned off." I want to reply, that no place in this tutorial does it explain how to use VirtualDubMod with Subtitles. If I'm wrong HERE, PLEASE let me know. There is a very, very, easy way to tell by deleting the SRT file afterwards and play the movie(mpg). If it truly is hard-encoded into the movie, subtitles should show up anyway, after all, they did indeed show as I played the movie with the SRT file. And NO, the latest TMPGENC does not show the subs as it encodes, although VOSUB green arrow should be in the system tray by your clock. So, who has the real answer. Now that I have deleted most of my work from another tutorial and spent another 3 hours on this, I guess I have to try something else. Another tutorial suggested merging my 2 AVIs together and using Srt2Sup.exe and IfoEdit.exe instead, but these are dependent on whether your standalone has Subtitles feature ON, right?. And, before I had to actually turn on WMP subs for them to work, but that's not the case once I reinstalled VOBSUB and/or added the filter, not sure which did the trick so it subs start up right fromt he start of the movie, instead of having to select the Subtitle Filter every time.

Now going on 15 hours later just on "what should be a simple thing", I will have to try something else here that actually describes hard-encoding a subtitle into a movie, but so far this tutorial (and other websites too) is definitely not it. The whole reason I started on Subtitles is that I have 2 AVIs encoding to 2 MPGs and 1 of the MPGs will have about 15 minutes of subtitles. Anyone have any further help as I keep searching, I'm sure it can be helpful for all of us? I wouldn't mind knowing if VirtualDub can help me in this area.

Incorrect?
written by jpesker, January 16, 2006
This tutorial claims, and I quote "Now all you have to do is name the subtitles file video.srt or whatever the original sub type was and put it in the same folder as the video file. Now you should check whether the audio and the subs match. To do that get BSPlayer (find it in the downloads section) and load the subtitles and the ac3 audio file (using the Load Extermal Audio option that appears if you right-click on the video while playing back)." UH HUH, thats great to check for outta sync problems, but does nothing to add them to the resultant MPG/MV2/DVD. Anyways, I find Windows Media Player 6.4 part of the Kazaa Codec Package alot more useful than BSPlayer, but anyways, doesn't this just tell you that VOBSUB is working and your Subs are in sync with your Video? In my opinion so far, it Does Not tell me that if I go ahead and Author the M2V and Audio, in TMPGEnc Author or some other program, the Subs are actually hard encoded. Does it? I should be able to just delete the SRT at this point, after all, the tutorial never mentions it again? Now try to play in BSPlayer, and see if you have Subs, bet we will not have SUBS. Yes I have a big problem with this tutorial.

Problem with the last step using TMPGEnc DVD Author
written by Desperate, May 05, 2007
First off, thank you for the tutorial. Second, I have this error message which appears on Step 13 when I try to insert the previously saved audio. I have successfully saved the m2v video file and also the ac3 audio file. Yet, when I try to insert the audio file in, an error message appears which states "Illegal audio format. For a standard DVD, you can only use the following audio formats: Dolby Digital (AC3), MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2, or Linear PCM." My audio format IS ac3. Anyone have any idea what went wrong or how I can solve this?
