i tried avstodvd but it crashed and others but i can't keep the chapters

i don't have nero and didn't make this file

[Baldrick]

Does it crash with all apps? Try convertxtodvd.

And make the chapters manually. It doesn't take long to make 16 chapters and you have the times.

[_MrC_]

i tried avstodvd but it crashed and others but i can't keep the chapters

Could you post the log file of the crashed project?



Bye

[smartel]

It could be a mp4 splitter issue. Have you installed Haali Media Splitter? It comes with AVStoDVD Installer package.



Bye

[smartel]

i used the portable version doesn't seam to be in it
i'll try again with the installer version
but still the Haali Media Splitter is on my system but the portable version may not be using it

[smartel]

ok i tried with the installer version and crashed again
the error seams to come from the hc encoder here's the log

[smartel]

now doing my divxtodvd file with dvdauthorgui seams to do the job

but i'd really liked for avstodvd to work , i really like this tool

[_MrC_]

2 more workarounds with AVStoDVD:

1. Switch from 'A2DSource' to 'FFMpegSource' in 'Preferences'/'AviSynth'
2. Force 'QuEnc CBR 1-pass' in 'Edit Title'/'Video'

Let me know

Tough source file, indeed.

If you still have time (and will), you can try to remux the source mp4 to mkv using AviDemux: load the mp4, leave "copy" on video and audio and save as mkv container. Than come back to AVStoDVD.

[smartel]

the avisynth frameserving check took sooooooo long
