Probs with AVIchop, thick need jargon free answers PLEASE

[Bitthick]

I have a avi movie file that i want to put onto 2 disks to watch on my DVD player. Easy everyone says!! Im a novice with little or no understanding but was told avichop, easy put in were you want to cut, click chop and there you go. I get half the movie no prob, but then it says an error occured and shuts down? Tried virtual dub, Too complicated (help)

Why not convert all of the AVI to mpeg 1 VCD with TMPGEnc, then when you have the finished mpeg (With no problems) use TMPGEnc again but this type select mpeg tools > Merge&Cut to split the file in half.

Thanks very much king john, got it sorted now with TMPGEnc, easy when u know how isnt it lol.

Glad you got it sorted, that Merge&Cut can also be used without changing the source range to fix simple problems with mpeg 1, I have used it to stream a few mpeg 1 downloads, that were not quite fully compatible with the VCD standard.
