Tried everything. SVCD creation works fine on 25-30 minute video (incl ff/fr) but when I try 53 minutes of video it all falls apart. Playback on Philips DVD703 with updated firmware (2.07) supplied by Philips.

Capturing with Studio DV to avi files; encoding with TMPGEnc; joining with TMPGEnc.

Then trying 2 different methods (a) demux with TMPGEnc & remux with bbMPEG OR TSCV/VCDImag then create cue/bin with TSCV (update scan offsets) or (b) go straight from TMPGEnc file to create cue/bin with TSCV with update scan offsets.
All burned with CDRWin. No error messages at any stage...

Only other clue is that DVD703 & PowerDVD both show the '53' minute video as being about 35 min long.

What am I doing wrong (if anything)- Any suggesions PLEASE. Breaking all my 1 hr video tapes into half hour streams seems an unfortunate resolution.
