Problem with TMPGenc

[The haltman]

Hi!
I'm converting an Avi to DVD using TMPGenc but I receive an arror to the 96% of the conversion I have seen that the file is 3.99 Gb big.. What can I do?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like you've hit the 4GB limit for file sizes in the FAT32 file system. If you run XP, convert to NTFS.

[The haltman]

no other solutions?

[p_l]

Yeah, make your target file size under 4GB .

[The haltman]

that is not possible

Does sound like the FAT 4GB limit to me too.

If you can't/don't want to convert to NTFS or make the target size under 4GB, you are going to have to look at splitting the AVI and encoding as two parts.

that is not possible

Lower your bitrate a little.

If you're tight on hard drive space and are concerned about splitting the AVI file into smaller segments you could use VirtualDub to cut your AVI into segments (without saving) and frameserve each AVI segment into TMPGEnc Plus.

I've done this before ... Not because filesize but because I used Virtualdub to cut out commericals.

Let's say you wanted to do it in three segments. First open the AVI in Virtualdub then select where you wanted to make the first cut. Write down the frame number (f#1) and cut from there to the end (Don't save). Start Frameserving and encode in TMPGEnc Plus. After it finishes, reload the original AVI, select where you want to the 2nd segment to end, say frame number f#2, cut from there to the end. Then cut from the start to f#1. Start frameserving then encode. Reload original AVI, cut from start to f#2, start frameserving then encode. It may sound confusing and difficult but it really isn't.

A stupid question
If I have 2 partitions: C with programs and TMPGenc, D with videos and I need to save the file on D I need to convert to NTFS only D right?

thanks in advance

Yes, that's correct. But why stick to fat32 at all?
