DVD2AVI doesn't stream full Movie to TMPGEnc

[CheviHemi]

I am trying to make a VCD of Green Mile and only the first two hours of the movie are sent to TMPGEnc.

How can I fix this problem?

Thank you for your responce!

Sounds a bit fishy to me, have you tried using the Preview in DVD2AVI ? or even playing each of the VOB's in a DVD Player to make sure your entire movie was ripped ?

Yeah, the preview mode in DVD2AVI shows the whole movie but the part of this program that sends the images to TMPGEnc must not be working correctly because TMPGEnc finishes at 1 hour and 58 minutes no matter how long the movie is. As long as the movie is under 2 hours im fine, unfortunatly, there are some really good movies that are longer.

I also downloaded new copies of all the necissary programs and that didn't help either...i am running all of this in Windows XP.

Thank you for helping!

Best bet is to create two or more projects, with 1hr segments of the movie. Have done Pearl Harbour (missus wanted it), 2:55 long. Had to split for CDR anyway, and had no prob.

Jst set 'Source Range' Per project and then batch encode. Good idea too as it take a bit.

:P

1) You haven't erased any of the VOB files?
2) All the VOB files have increasing numbers in order: movie1.vob, movie2.vob, movie3.vob, etc. NOT movie1.vob, movie2.vob, movie6.vob, movie7.vob?
3) You say if you preview in DVD2AVU you can see the whole movie. Ok, try appling the VFAPI codec to the generated D2V file, open it in Virtual Dub and confirm that you can still see the whole movie.
4) In TMPGenc, click on 'settings' then click on the 'advance' tab, and double click source range. Confrim that you can see the whole movie.

If all the above work but you still can't encode here's what I would do. Since I have to cut the MPEG anyway, I'd use source range to set up 795MB MPEGs, and then batch encode the multiple MPEGs.
