    Hi,

    I have a concert in AVI format which I'm trying to convert to MPEG2 to burn on a DVD or two.
    I've successfully done this before with other files using exactly the same settings, but my combination of D2SRoBa and DVD2SVCD doesn't really work in this case. I've tried splitting the AVI up into two parts since the concert is quite lengthy (2:13:43) and the AVI file itself is 1,45 GB! Splitting it up into two ~700MB parts didn't help, though. The same error occurs:

    DVD2SVCD runs the entire process but ends up outputting a file which is harly any bigger than the source AVI. Furhtermore, there's no real video, just audio. The only visible video is three red lines at the bottom (this isn't an actual screenshot, I've reprocuced it in Paint since I can't capture a screenie of Media player).

    I'm using Cinema Craft Encoder by the way. I've ordered D2SRoBa to create a 2200 MB file from each half of the concert. Any ideas as to what's wrong?

    Thanks.

    Im no expert but when I have had problems converting AVI files and get similar problems with video being nothing and just audio I have found it to be an xvid or divx avi that my programs had trouble encoding.

    Have you used AVI codec to check wether or not it is a divx or xvid AVI, in which case you may need additional codecs or try a different program that can open them.

    I hope this helps.

    I managed to get around the problem by using TMPGEnc. Then I used another app to split up the MPEG file into 16 parts representing every song on the DVD. Finally the dvd was equipped with a menu and authored using DVDlab pro. The audio was still fully intact after all of this, thank god. 2 hours and 15 minutes of video have, however, suffered from being compressed to a single 4,7GB DVD.
