TMPGEnc DVD Author (TDA) has just been upgraded to version 3 - new in this version is DivX Authoring. With DivX Authoring, you can create .divx files that not only uses the more advanced and more efficient (compared to DVD/MPEG-2) DivX compression, you also get all the same benefits of DVDs, such as menus, multiple audio/subtitles and chapters, all in the one .divx file. There are even some standalone DVD players, like the Pioneer DV-696-AV, that are DivX Ultra certified and supports all these advanced features (complete list of DivX Ultra certified devices here).

DivX.com also releases a software called DivX Author, which is basically TDA without the DVD authoring part - so this guide can be used on both TDA and DivX Author (but I'll mainly refer to TDA).

If you are interested in making/authoring DVDs, instead of DivX files, using TMPGEnc DVD Author, please refer to our TMPGEnc DVD Author 3 DVD Authoring Guide.

This guide is aimed at users who are fairly new to DivX authoring, but is already fairly comfortable with things like video conversion and editing.

Software you'll need:

Do I have to write every word of the subtitles or can I someway put a srt or sub file to it?

eru88: No you do not. When you enable a subtitle stream, the "Edit Menu" becomes available - use the "Import" function there to import SRT subitle files

For the dvd I created with TMPGEnc DVD Author, I can only navigate through the chapters with the up/down/left/right buttons, but NOT with the NUMBER BUTTONS on my dvd REMOTE CONTROL. I have tried many ways in vain. Do you know what was causing the problem? I have one top menu, no track menu. I have tried placing all chapters in one track or creating many tracks with one chapter in each track. None works for me. Thank you.
