2 Gig Limit on WAV file

[Captain]

I am trying to rip Pearl Harbor combining both disks into a single movie on a DVD-R. After ripping both disks (Disk 2 ripped fine but I had to choose my own VOB's)I used DVD2AVI and just added disk 2's VOB's after disk 1's. Everything seemed to work OK but I can't get the sound to play in fact it crashes Media Player. The size of the wav file is over 2.5 gig I did a little testing and I can't get my system to play any wav over 2 gig (Win XP). Has any body else seen this problem or knows if there is a limit to wav file size.

first of all, i believe you can only link 10 vob files in a row (i.e. so dvd2avi can make 1 big .wav file)...if the movie has more than 10 vob files, u will have to do the entire process twice (i.e. extract .wav file and frameserve to tmpgenc)

Captain, in regard to your problem. yes there is a .wav limit size to wut media player (and tmpgenc) can handle. i've had .wav size problems with pearl harbor, titanic, grean mile, godfather part II, etc. the easiest way is to just treat pearl harbor like 2 separate movies. do the entire process twice (i.e. pearl harbor part 1 and part 2). then you can combine the two .mpgs after you've encoded into 1 big .mpg. that should work. however, i haven't tried this and media player might also puke it out.

TitaniumDragon2001, as for your problem, it seems you're selecting the wrong track to extract. i believe that the default track 1 is where the 448 kbits audio is located.

I have that problem with Almost Famous but not Pearl Harbor.
All I did after I loaded the VOB's is hit File, Save Project
