Splitting ODML AVI files

[HartsVideo]

Hi,

I just spent the past 12 hours ripping an episodic DVD (my processor is very slow) into avi format using AutoGK. I've used this program many times and never had a problem with it. I also ripped this same DVD a few weeks ago and had no problem with it. Last night, I decided that I wanted to improve the image quality and rip it to a higher Mb.

This morning, when I tried to split the episodes using AVIsplit, I received a messge that says that the file was written in ODML AVI format and cannot be processed by AVIsplit classic v1.43. I looked for a newer version of AVIsplit but couldn't find one.

I used Video Inspector to see what I needed and it said that the audio needs ATSC/A-52 Dolby AC3. I have and AC3 filter but I uninstalled and reinstalled it but I got the same response from Video Inspector so I downloaded and installed At Surround Processor in case it needed a specific codec for this DVD that isn't in AC3 filter, but it's still no go.

I decided to delete the original file and run it through DVD Decrypter and AutoGK again, but I still receive the same message.

Why would AutoGK suddenly process the files into ODML AVI format and is there a splitter that will split ODML AVI files?

I guess your file was 2+GB's? ODML is required in such a case. Try VirtualDubMod (what AutoGK used to create the file). You don't need an AC3 decoder either if you are just splitting.

Hi Celtic,

The file was 2500Mb, so that answers my question. Thanks. I couldn't find the answer anywhere on the net. I guess it's one of those things that's good to know and not too many people know it. I hope this helps someone else also.
