mpg limitations ???

[raigru]

Hi !!!

I´m new in this forum !!

i bouhgt SVCD2DVDMPG+ an it works very fine for me !!!

But one question :

I merged 3 SVCD mpgs to one big mpg 2,2 Gig !!!

Afterstarting SVCD2DVDMPG+ only the program starts in the dos-box and disappears!!

So i split the big file into two files and it works !!!

So now my question :

What´s the limitation for the SVCD mpg file !!

big thx for your replay !!!

I don't know the file size limits so I leave that to Chrissyboy.

But you don't have to merge, you can add all video files and they will play after each other.

but the second svcd mpg starts normaly 2-5 seconds before the end of the first svcd mpg!!!!

Thats just due to the fact that the SVCDs were created that way - for continuity whilst you change the disks over.

Clearly there is a limit to size. As the standard process is to take either disk images or svcd mpegs aprox 800MB i haven't tested with huge files. The philosophy behind the tool is not to join mpegs - let your authoring software do that.


At what stage does it fall over?

I have the same problems like you. I merged 2 files with tmpeg and svcd2dvd+ doesnt start converting. It created only the 2 dvd folders audio and video. I guess it has something with the lenght of the movie to do because I did ist also with a 90 min movie (file size > 2gb) and it worked

so long

I have to confirm I encountered the same size limit problem, after I used DVD2SVCD to rip and convert a DVD movie into 1 big SVCD mpeg. It wouldn't load into SVCD2DVDMPEG+ and when I used the "MPEG Info.." right click menu on it, it would say it's not a compliant file. I didn't realize SVCD format has a limit like that, so it puzzled me for a while as to what I did wrong when encoding DVD to SVCD.
