A. The two products sound similar in name, so they can be easily confused. TMPGEnc Authoring Works 6 basically creates DVD/Blu-ray/AVCHD files and discs from your source video files - it can convert to DVD-Video/Blu-ray Disc/AVCHD standard compliant MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 AVC and it can also burn those files to DVD and Blu-ray Disc media. It can also create interactive menus and has options for multiple subtitle and audio streams among other things.
TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7 is basically video conversion software. It can convert your source video files to many, many different types of output files, each of which are highly customizable. It can also output standard-compliant DVD-Video/Blu-ray Disc/AVCHD files, but unlike TAW6, it cannot create interactive menus or burn to DVD or Blu-ray Disc media. Also, it cannot create multiple subtitle and audio streams like TAW6 can. However, it does have many features not found in TAW5 such as the ability to apply filters to enhance or correct video and audio, a timeline editing mode, and more.
