Short Vids Created Using DIKO? Help!

[mike_ek]

Ok, I have a few 50min videos which are in .avi format. I wish to convert them to SVCD using DIKO. I read the tutorial, which was very helpful, and was successful in converting about 10 of 13 of them. They are all in the same format, all play, and are all about 50min long. All of them that I converted converted successfully, so it says, but when I open some of them they are only 10min, 30min and 36min long, when they should be 50min like the rest of them. So, I burned the ones that converted correctly and I don't know what to do with the ones that didn't completly burn. I didn't receive any error messages and the converted short vids play and burn, but the rest of the vid is not there. I am using XP pro on a p4 pc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm having the very same problem, DIKO is not converting everything it should. BUT...The generated MPV and MP2 streams does have everminute you've been expecting for, something is going wrong in the multiplexing process, outputting smaller MPGE streams than the expected. Pick up any soft capable of multiplexing and try to multiplex the generated video and audio streams.

I finally solved my problems with DIKO. My source is 23.xxfps, everytime I try to encode anything that comes at 23.xxfps to NTSC KSVCDs, seems that diko fails to multiplex the resulting video and audio streams, outputting a bad MPGE stream. The workaround is to multiplex the mpv and mp2 streams outputted by DIKO in bbmpge, using MPGE2 default settings, 23xx.fps and 2:3 pulldown. Seems that DIKO is having some trouble with desynchronization and therefore, aborts the multiplexing process.

There is only one thing left, the multiplexed audio/video stream won't play on my PC, it causes any program that tries to open it to close with error messages. However, it plays fine on my standalone DVD.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a try. A side note: I used a different program to do the conversion after DIKO failed. I used Xilisoft Video Conversion Software which creates a mpeg from the avi. I then was able to burn it using NERO Burning ROM as an SVCD and it works. One of them, however, didn't fully convert using this program either. So, I then tried using VideoEdit Converter Pro. This program seemed to work. It took a long time and the GUI is really ugly, but it worked...weird.
