D2V Wave File Problem

[yoshi1668]

I recently trying to use the DVD2AVI to create the D2V file and the corresponding Wav file. The original video file is over 3 hours long and makes the Wav file well over 2GB. What I found out is that the Wav file doesn't work. I can't even play that Wav file in my media player(it indicates that not enough buffer). When I try to encode the video using TMPG, it gives me some kind of message that there is a writing problem after several minutes. Is there anything we can get around this ?

I thought of encoding the video in pieces to get around the problem., but the subtitle file won't work that way. So it has to be one piece.

You might try setting the audio settings in DVD2AVI to DeMux instead of extracting a wav, then if the audio is ac3 it will be ac3 if it is mpeg1layer2 it will be mpa etc.. which are considerably smaller than a raw pcm wav. They will also not need anywhere as much buffering to play etc..

Just my 2cents
