SVCD playback problem

[neoguy]

I've been trying to re-burn (10 times using many different methods suggested on this board ) a mpeg file that I extracted from a bin/cue svcd image, so it would play the full length on my standalone DVD player.

Matter of fact, there are 3 cue/bin movie images that I also burnt from using Nero 5.5.9.x. All the mpeg files reading from a Win Media Player have around 42:15 minute in length each.

They are all played beautifully in my Mintek DVD-2110 player, but the problem is that the last 5-10 minutes (All 3 burnt CD's stopped short at 35-37 minute) always get cut off from the CD's when viewing. I've gotten so frustrated with the results that i get from trying to recode to SIMPLE MULTIPLEX with the mpeg tools portion of TMPGEnc and coded + set the stream type as MPEG-2 SVCD(VBR), splitting and joinning using EASY VIDEO, lowering the SPEED of my burning, and burning the extracted cue/bin as mpeg files.

I'm really confused of why it wont play full length. I did much browsing around this help section forum and happened to come to a post about changing the bitrate. I dont think it is it because my SVCD files did burn and weren't overburnt on CD's. Can anyone please help me? I love this movie and i won't tolerate it having cut off segments. NOT EVEN 1 SECOND

Update...

Another strange thing is that.. when I split the mpeg files to make the SVCD shorter, like lets say I cut the movie sengment to 37 minutes on the first CD to make it run all the 37-min segment, the movie running time then is only 32 minutes. It cuts out the other 5 minutes again, so there it goes again! I just don't get it. I thought if the movie is not playing all the minutes that it is supposed to, it must be right to trim down the minutes. I am wrong.

P.S These mpeg-2 svcd files are 780 MB,794 MB, and 719 MB. Not only it is happened to this movie, but it's also happened to the other movie files with similar sizes. The only one works right is my VCD 2.0 movie format that I burnt as is in a cue/bin images.[/b]

A week in coming and no help?

I don't know if this will help, but I had trouble with a particular version of nero making SVCD disks. I dual boot and have nero 5.5.5 on 98 and 5.5.9 on 2000. When I was using the 5.5.9 the disks were not playable from PC and could not copy the file back to PC from Disk. When I used the 98 5.5.5 everything was fine :) Thank goodness my Apex will play them. You may try using a different version of nero or a different program all together.

no i dont think this has anything to do with the playback of the SVCD on my DVD player, but thanks anyway. I dont think the problem is solvable because noone seems able to tell anything about it.
