AVI to MPG

[NiVZ]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to convert some captured video as follows:

Source Video: Morgan JPEG 352x288 25fps
Source Audio: PCM 48KHz

Dest Video: MPEG 1 (m1v) 352x288 25fps
Dest Audio: MPEG Layer 2 48KHz 192kbps (mp2)

I captured the video using Virtual Dub (it's 7hrs long and takes up about 25GB)

I tried TMPGENC which converted the Video no probs, but I didn't get any sound. I've also tried converting the audio seperately to WAV and MP2 and then re-muxing with TMPGENC, but then my DVD software complains that it can't 'get structure for VOBU'.

I checked my Hard Disk and there is plenty of free disk space.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

NiVZ.

P.S This works fine with small tests I did (about 4 - 10mins) - it just doesn't work with this large file.

Poor question. Am I right that you wanted to burn a DVD with an MPG1 file? Does this work? I thought DVDs have to have MPG2 files...

Whats poor about the question?

I've done plenty of TV Capture to VCD conversions and have just started putting MPEG1 onto DVD (which works fine in my player).

To begin with I did a couple of small tests 4 - 10min files (music vids I'd captured from TV). Then I converted a whole hour of VCD from a TV show and put it onto a DVD and they all worked fine.

I'm now trying to do exactly the same with a 7hr capture (which was captured in exactly the same way) but it's not having any of it.

I was just wanting suggestions as to what I could try to figure this out - it's driving me nuts as TMPGENC takes around 4-6 hours to convert.

Maybe I did write wrong. I thought my question as poor...
Did you try frameserving VDub to TmpgEnc?
Did you try converting the 48 KHz audio to 41 KHz audio?
B.t.w.: I'm doing what you are doing with uncompressed avis and filesizes about 40 - 60 GBytes and TmpgEnc did work very well ecoding this to MPG2. IMHO it has nothing to do with your filesize.
