I am trying to move my anime over to bluray, as I want to have full series on 1 disc instead of the 5-7 they normally take. It also appears to have some issues with mkv with dual audio tracks. It's questionable if it ever reaches the developers based on my previous experience with TMPGEnc technical support. I have sent a request to TMPGEnc technical support to include subtitle import in TAW5 and also pointed out the way TAW5 handles imported subtitles. They become fully transparent once imported in TAW5. I have subtitles with a transparent plate behing the text. When importing Blu-ray or AVCHD file structures with subtitles, TAW5 doesn't keep the transparency in the subtitles as expected. TAW5 can only import SRT subtitles, with the exception of importing Blu-ray, AVCHD or DVD where the existing subtitles are imported. What is missing, and was missing in TAW4, is the ability to import SUP Blu-ray subtitles as well as DVD-SUP (SUP/IFO) and VobSub (SUB/IDX) subtitles directly. It's way faster to encode the video separately with x264 and then importing to TAW5.Īs far as I have tested, 'AVCHD for DVD' plays fine on Panasonic BD30. The encoding (using x264) is painfully slow in TAW5.
