I am using avi material captured with a Pinnacle DC10 plus card and encoded with the Pinacle DC10 plus M-Jpec codec. The files have the 2 gig size.
I then frame serve with virtualdub to TMPGEnc to encode to PAL DVD.
Regularly after 2min, 56 sec. (that is about half way of the 2 gig file) the video turns black, the audio continues as normal.
I tried the TMPGEnc standard template and various other settings.

Any idea how to solve this?
