VirtualDub MPEG2 won't load entire file

[TheInformer]

VDub-MPEG2 (v1.6.11) won't load the entire MPEG2 files that I've created. The entire file plays fine in Windows Media Player, so it isn't truncated at all or messed up internally.

Does VDub-MPEG2 have a file size limit that it will open? My file is about 3.9GB.

Alternatively, is there a program that will let me step through a MPEG file so I can record the times that events in the video happen? I'm using the PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN keys along with the arrows to go through my video to find out when certain events happen. This speeds up my DVD creation process because if I tried the same with TMPGenc DVD Author, it would take a long time.

Any help will be appreciated!

try virtualdubmod

Tried VDubMod. No luck there either. It did the same thing as VDub-MPEG2.

Does Virtualdub MOD/MPEG2 give any error/warning messages?
Windows Media Player will often playback corrupted MPEG files which Virtualdub rejects.
I never experienced a size limit with it.

Could this be related to the FAT32 4GB file limit, perhaps? TheInformer, what OS are you using (9X/ME/2K/XP), and is your hard drive using the FAT32 filesystem, or NTFS?

HD is formatted as NTFS and I'm running Windows XP Home Edition.

Strange. I just used VDub on a 4.3 GB file and it worked fine. This would lead you to believe that the original MPG file is corrupt, but I just authored it using TMPGEnc DVD Author and the resulting disc played fine on a DVD player. Weird.

Hmm... then, obviously, it can't be the 4GB limitation. What error messages did you receive on the file when trying to load it into any of the VDub variants?

I wonder if the latest (beta) version of GSpot would also provide any relevant information on the MPEG (I haven't personally tried to use GSpot on an MPEG, yet.)
