Xvid and TMPGEnc problem

[Rambytes]

I need to encode a video in XVid format into SVCD but I need to split into 2 CD.

The problem is when the second file is encode, it's only a black screen with no sound.

But when I move the slide in the "range" option, or enter manually the frame to begin (in my case 60090) It's very hars to see a picture of the frame whe enter the number.

And that, only with Xvid format...

Does I need to have another Xvid codec, and if so, where I can find the version of my xvid codec?

Thanks to help me!

I don't have the best solution for your problem but I have a work around. In the source range window avoid using the slider. Just click and enter the frame numbers directly into the start and end frame boxes. You can change them a little at a time until you get it just right.

Oops, I re-read your post and I see you're doing that already.

convert the entire move first then use tmpgenc mpeg tools to cut the movie in half

i had a similar problem and it was because of a bad frame, check for bad frames in virtualdub

I have solved my problem. I had the same problem like yours

Here is the method to solve your problem:

--First encode the first half movie,
start frame is 0
end frame for example 35020 (half of the movie)

--Encode the second half of the movie.
Do not start at frame 35020.. you should start below 35020 (35000 for exmaple)

this will solves your prob.

I've found it better (less problems) to frame serve from VirtualDub, and do the splitting there.
