Video stops but audio still plays

[antnie]

I just got a HP DVD 200i burner, and made my first DVD. I used DVDit! PE 2.5 to make a DVD folder, and Nero 5.5.8.2 to burn it, and used HP DVD+RW media. The problem is that it played great on my stand alone DVD player (ProScan PS8680Z) for about 1:45:19 and the movie is 1:57:00 long, the video stop playing, but the audio still played the full time. It did the samething on my PC too. Any thoughts.

did you let dvdit convert the video?
or had you already converted it to dvd mpeg?
and what audio settings did you use, uncompressed or dd?

1. Used "Ripping DVD's that are too large to fit on a DVD-R"
Ripped the Video and 1 (AC3 2ch.) audio track.
Didn't do the "AC3 Decode to convert .ac3 to .wav", just used the AC3(323MB) file.
Didn't do the "ReMPEG2 to shrink your movie", just used the M2V (4.1GB) file.

2. Then used "How to author a DVD with menus and chapters using DVDit"
Didn't make any chapters, just did the "first play" option and then made a "DVD folder" on the hard drive.

3. Used Nero to make a DVD complient movie with the "DVD folder" files.
