DVD stops 10 mins from end

[bonyucks]

Every time I use SVCD2DVD to convert 700Mb avi to DVD the DVD ends before the movie ends. The SD2.mpg is also shorter than the avi. If the movie has a lot of titles at the end I lose them. If not I miss the end of the movie. I've tried freeing more disk space (from 12Gb to 30Gb) but still the same result. I've put latest log below.

Use VirtualDub to "scan video stream for errors" and see if the source avi has a problem.

You say every time, how many files has this happened on? Have you had other avi conversions that finished properly?

[Gripweed]

Your hard drives are formatted as FAT32. The maximum size for a FAT32 file is 4gig. Your .mpg files is attempting to exceed that size and can't and so your movie is shortened. Reformat your drives to NTFS and the problem will go away.

There is no need to reformat. The drive can be converted from FAT32 to NTFS using the procedure described here. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/convertfat.mspx

[Gripweed]

I used the word "reformat" in the sense that he would end up having a different file format on the drives. In this case NTFS rather than FAT32. I wasn't advocating any particular method to achieve that end result. If I were I probably would have said to use a program such as Paragon Partition Manager which is what I use.

Thanks guys, so simple that I missed it...

[bonyucks]

Thanks everyone, I'll change to NTFS and try again. Amazing what a bit of knowledge does.
