2gb audio file limit in tmpgenc

[sommersby]

Here's a problem I had never run into before, I was ripping Sparticus the other day, a 4 hour movie, and the resulting audio file was 2.13g, tmpgenc would not open the audio file at start of encode, all it said was audio error, I narrowed it down to the file exceding 2gb, I run windows xp and use the ntfs file system so it is deffinatly a tmgenc bug. I got around it by frame serving in two parts using dvd2avi. Just a word of warning for anyone seeing this problem in the future.

BTW, using an external audio tool does not fix the problem either, that was the first thing I tried, using toolame I got the same error at encode start.

which version of tmpgenc?

to which format are you trying to encode?

this was 2.5 plus, the commercial version, and I was encoding to vcd using the vcd film template. But I also tried the svcd format just to test, same result. Like I said, it was the first time I had seen this problem as it is rare you ever have an audio file go over 2gb in a dvd rip.

hey guys, i've run into problems ripping movies over 3 hrs long...i.e. titanic, green mile, godfather series....

an easy i do is to just split the .vob files into two groups and encode them like 2 separate movies...now the .wav files from the two separate groups of vob files will be small enough for tmpgenc to handle
