Hi, I am trying to construct a DVD based on some videos made through a Kodak Digital Camera. No matter how I convert the MOV video, when I compile the DVD, it gets almost 99% done, then returns errors saying "the Size of run-length is over 1440 bits". I've even bought Quicktime Pro to be able to export MOVs to DVD.
Can anyone help me please? I've been trying different solutions for more than a month and nothing's worked.

Try ConvertXtoDVD
"Quality is cool, but don't forget... Content is King!" -
I've tried that. No change in behavior.
Or have you tried this with Kodak Camera MOV files and had success? Which version did you use? -
Try converting them to highest bitrate available h264 MOV files using Mpegstreamclip, then encoding the resulting files into DVD. Just for a test.

I'm doing the same thing...

Soopafresh: I tried using Mpegstreamclip to convert them to AVI, and that gave me a file with audio, but no video. Then, for the heck of it, I tried MP4. That give me audio and video, but I got the same results when I tried to compile a DVD (Size of run-length is over 1440 bits).
thomasj: I will try your solution next. Is this the latest version of your avisynth file?
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\nnedi2.dll")
QTInput("UTC 2004-01-01 170128.mov", color=2, audio=true)
ConvertToYV12()
AssumeTFF()
MSU_FRC(4, "slow")
ConvertFPS(60000,1001)
nnedi2_rpow2(qual=3,rfactor=4,cshift="spline36resi ze",fwidth=720,fheight=480)
DegrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=5,mode=3)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,1,2)
Weave()
Subtitle("Test", align=1, text_color=$ffffff, size=18, last_frame=90, x=48, y=432)

I wouldn't go blindly applying some avs script designed for a specific purpose.
For example, your files might not match thomas' specs; they might be different size, different fps. He's upscaling, re-interlacing and adding hardcoded subs as well - you might not want that
Use mediainfo on your source clips, view=>text, and post the info back here
Does your compling error occur only on that 1 clip ? (have you tried others, perhaps its damaged)
What programs are you using? for converting? for authoring? I don't believe QT can do all this (it doesn't author DVD's) -
It's happening with all my files, but I'm using three for testing purposes. All the files were taken from the same source, so I believe if one has a problem, they all have a problem.

1. Export the MOV to AVI using Quicktime Pro
2. Use AVStoDVD to make the AVI file into elementary MPEG2 streams
3. Put the MPEG2 streams into DVD-Lab Pro and make a DVD.
I've experimented with lots of other tools and processes and everything gives me the 1440 error. Let me know if you need more detail on these steps. -
I'll bet this will do it.

If you want to try the avisynth method:
1) Install Avisynth
2) Download both attached files(see below), unzip and put DLL in Avisynth Plugins folder
Your script would look like this (save the file as test.avs)
Qtinput("C:\Alpha\kodak movies\2005-01-02\100_0130.MOV").Converttoyv12()
Spline36resize(640,480)
super = MSuper(pel=2)
backward_vec = MAnalyse(super, isb = true)
forward_vec = MAnalyse(super, isb = false)
MFlowFps(super, backward_vec, forward_vec, num=30000, den=1001, ml=100) #29.97fpsLast edited by Soopafresh; 18th Mar 2010 at 21:00.
"Quality is cool, but don't forget... Content is King!" -
Your clips have different fps, and resolutions and are not DVD compliant => their framerates and resolution need to be adjusted
Did AVStoDVD output compliant MPEG2 streams in terms of fps and resolution? (ie. did it "fix" it in terms of those specs) => what does mediainfo say about those clips ?
What kind of AVI did QT export?
Have you looked at DVDLab manual? What does that error message indicate? -
Here is the mediainfo for file#1 when I converted it to AVI using Quicktime Pro
Here is the media info when I converted that AVI file to MPEG2 using AVS2DVDCode:General Complete name : C:\Alpha\kodak movies\2005-01-02\100_0130.AVI Format : AVI Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave File size : 813 MiB Duration : 57s 667ms Overall bit rate : 118 Mbps Video Format : RGB Codec ID : RGB Codec ID/Info : Uncompressed RGB32 Duration : 57s 667ms Bit rate : 118 Mbps Width : 640 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4/3 Frame rate : 12.000 fps Resolution : 32 bits Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 32.000 Stream size : 811 MiB (100%) Audio Format : PCM Format settings, Endianness : Little Format settings, Sign : Unsigned Codec ID : 1 Codec ID/Hint : Microsoft Duration : 57s 645ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 352.8 Kbps Channel(s) : 1 channel Sampling rate : 22.05 KHz Resolution : 16 bits Stream size : 2.42 MiB (0%) Interleave, duration : 83 ms (1.00 video frame)
The DVD-Lab Manual did not give any help regarding the error message. I've also google'd it and found little that explained the problem or solution.Code:General Complete name : C:\Alpha\DVD_0_100_0130.mpg Format : MPEG-PS File size : 60.5 MiB Duration : 57s 600ms Overall bit rate : 8 809 Kbps Video Format : MPEG Video Format version : Version 2 Format profile : Main@Main Format settings, Matrix : Standard Duration : 57s 557ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 8 005 Kbps Nominal bit rate : 8 500 Kbps Width : 720 pixels Height : 480 pixels Display aspect ratio : 4/3 Frame rate : 29.970 fps Standard : NTSC Colorimetry : 4:2:0 Scan type : Progressive Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.821 Audio Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Duration : 57s 600ms Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 192 Kbps Channel(s) : 1 channel Channel positions : C Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Video delay : -66ms
I will now try the AVISynth method and get back to you how it works.
EDIT: Soopafresh: I used the AVISynth file and it converted successfully, but seemed to have converted it wrong. It made the file 21 minutes long with a very slow framerate, and made it 30gb. Here is the mediainfo for that file.

As a test, try another authoring tool on the AVStoDVD exported clip , just to rule out issues with DVD Lab
e.g. DVDAuthorGUI, GUI for DVD Author, DVD Styler or even retail like Encore or DVDA -
I used GUI for DVD Author and that seemed to create a usable DVD. It compiled without error, and I was able to view the DVD well-enough on Cyberlink PowerDVD on my hard drive.
Strangely, when I put the VOBs it created into DVD-Lab Pro, it gave me the 1440 error again.
Edit: I should also mention DVD-Lab gave me the same behavior. When I tried the "alternative" compile, it worked, but produced no DVD files.
Edit 2: I tried DVD Styler, but the movies looked awful. Very pixelated.Last edited by theWallflower; 20th Mar 2010 at 14:45.

I found out the problem with DVD-Lab Pro. I had a text link in the menu that was fairly long. It could not encode the subpicture, because it was too complex. Subpic is encoded using RLE algorithm and each compressed line cannot take more than 1440 bits (DVD specs limitation). When you add a link, the object you add the link to becomes part of the subpicture mask which needs to be RLE encoded. Apparently, it causes the RLE code for one or more of the lines passing through that object to exceed the maximum allowed length.
I reduced the number of characters in the text object, and the DVD compiled without error.
