winavi problem cannot burn file too big

[swaps1122]

I used winavi to convert AVI to DVD I have used it a few times and it has worked great. This time it have made a vob file which is over 2 gig and nero will not burn it. I have tried to open it with DVD shink to get the size down but that says unsupported file format. Any Idea how I can burn this ? I dont want to have another 6 hours converting it again !

Thanks for the help

Did it just create ONE vob file? no ifo,bups?
Then reauthor it with for example tmpgenc dvd author, add the vob as the video.

Hi,
It generated 5 files:
VIDEO_TS
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_0
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0 (vob)

Dump winavi I tried for weeks and made more coasters than good dvds, use nero 6 ultra edition. I use the nerovison express this converts and burns to dvd in one go, and for a film that lasts about 1hr 30 mins it takes 1 hr 45 to convert and burn.


Give it a try

Good Luck

Hi,
I have used nero to encode and burn the AVI it worked well but on my coal fired Pentium 5 535mhz if took 5 hours for a 1hour 40 mins avi. This I need to come in to the 20th century !
