I read the forums about an authoring software. I decided to try dvd2svcd to do everything. I was converting an avi that was an hour and 37 minutes long. I let it run overnight. It was finished this morning with no errors reported. However, it did not finish the entire movie. The first image about 27 minutes on it and the second image had 13 minutes. It didn't finish the last of the movie. Any ideas why it quit without doing the rest of the movie? The encoder was tmpgenc
