encoding fills my hard drive - or something

[ellispa]

During the process of encoding certain files, the program creates an .mv2 file that just gets bigger and bigger until it fills up the hard drive.

There is an FAQ question on this, but no answer. I'm guessing I may have a currupt MPG (although the file plays fine in media player!), but if anyone can offer me some guidance here, I'd much appreciate it.

I have the + version, and XP, and normally plenty of hard drive space (about 15gb on this drive, which should be plenty!)

Cheers in advance

Hey,

Can you give us some information about the mpeg: size, audio format, video settings.

Greatings,

It happens when the mpgs are not "closed" properly. There is nothing I can do about it. Your only option is to reencode the mpg using a mpeg encoder. I have only seen this happen once or twice however.....

Cheers for the replies.

It was a broken mpeg. One of the files hadn't completely downloaded (it was about .01 of a meg short of complete, so it would work in media player, but not in this). So I completed the file, and it seems to work okay now.

Cheers again.
