Strange error in captured video

[Makinus]

Hi all! My first post!

I´m having some problem with the files of my captured videos, they play normally in VLC or Windows Media Player, but when i try do reencode them using Tmpgenc or other video encoders the encoders only recognize part of the video...

Just now i captured a 1h50m video and Tmpgenc only recognizes 1h05m of video...

I´m converting old VHS tapes to VCDs using a cheap USB video capture (Easycap) with the program WinVDR PRO and capturing in XVID+MP3.. the capture process and playback works fine, only when i try to edit the file to convert it to other format or to cut scenes the editors don´t recognize the entire video...

While it´s annoying not to be able to cut scenes that i don´t want i can live with is since my dvd player reads XVID without any problems, i only need to resolve this problem so i can convert the videos to MPEG1 to play in old DVD players that family and friends have... my family have a lot of old VHS tapes that i´m capturing and they want to play them without the need to buy a new DVD player....

Any ideas?

Thanks...

Try open the video in virtualdub or avidemux, does they also report incorrect time? If not try resave as a new avi, choose video->direct stream copy and audio->direct stream copy and file->save as new avi in virtualdub.

If that wont work try repair the avi xvid file using divfix++ or Digital Video Repair (make a copy of the video first).

Virtualdub reads the entire file, but when i resave, the video of the new file is completely garbled...

divfix++ also reads the entire file but when i order it to fix, it simly cuts off the part beyond the error...

Digital Video Repair says that the file have no errors and refuses to work...

I finally found an enconder called "SUPER" that reads the entire file and converts it to any format that i want, including MPEG1, so the problem is resolved, even if i still don´t know what causes the error...

Thanks
