After encoding the movie is shorter!

[uniks]

Sometimes when I use Cinema Craft Encoder SP2 to encode .avi files the created .mpv is shorter by half, for example .avi lasts 1.47h, and when I encoded it with CCE SP2 .mpv lasts only 57min?!
I use aviscrypt to set .avi format then import .avs file into CCE SP2.

How can I predict when will this happen or even fix this?

Hi-

How can I predict when will this happen or even fix this?

What are you using to check the encoded length? You can't trust most players, you know. If the length is correct in the front of CCE, most likely it's correct when done as well. Go ahead and make the DVD and then check the length in PowerDVD when done.

So, I'm saying that most likely the length is correct. To double check the length after the encode is finished, the most guaranteed way is to make a D2V project file from the MPV, set up an AviSynth script for it, and open that script in VDubMod. Then go File->File Information to check the length.

Try GSpot to get properties of AVI and other A/V files

thanks manono, I will try that later because I deleted this mpv. stupid me.
and I use media player classic

Hehe, so do I. And I ignore anything it says about the video's length. You can open the MPV in VDubMod, but it may take a while, depending on the length of the video. And GSpot also takes a while to open and complete the scan.

One other possibility is that it was actually two avi files that were joined and the encoding is stopping at the join point.

Open the file in Vdub and see how long Vdub think it is. Then if it is longer than 57 minutes go to the 57 minute mark and examine the file to see what happned. One possibilty would be to use Vdub to split the file into two parts and then encode each one.

Good Luck

OK, I encoded the same file under the same settings, and again got 57 min in media player classic. Then I scanned the file with MediaInfo and GSpot and the lenght is the same as the original avi.

So you were all right, mpc tricked me into thinking that something is wrong
