dvdauthor problems HELP!!!

[mcpogue]

Having problem muxing with DVDAuthorGui, I captured avi using virtual Dub and Pic-Video MJPEG codec v3, 352 x 480 w 2:1 linear reduction, hence final = 352 x 480 177,333 frames captured 55 dropped, audio is pcm converted to ac3 with ffmpeg gui......converted video to elementary stream w Tmpgenc Plus.......when I go to mux and create vob's with Dvd author get a lot of WARN messgs and "Too many frames dropped -exiting"

HELP!!

oops, meant 352 x 240

what are the specs used in tmpgenc? (like bitrate, mpeg1, or2, etc)

[mcpogue]

mpeg2 352x240 bitrate: 9378 max, 2000 min, 5850 avg. 2-pass vbr 29.97 fps vbv 224 4:3 525 ntsc
center keep aspect.......what specs you need? as far as I know it's within DVD specs

[mcpogue]

as I stated in my original post it's an avi capt that dropped 55 frames .I converted video to m2v, audio to ac3 and try to author........errors

Is there something I need to do to repair ether of the files before I encode and author?

that bitrate sounds awfully high for something at 352x240. That may be the cause of the error. You might try muxing with muxman to see if it has similar errors.
