I have been experimenting with the divx codec as well as mpeg using virtualdub.
ripped a 2.5 hour film to 2.5 gig - messed up the audio compression. The capture.avi file can be played as an avi with sound synced so i thought i could convert to an mpeg. using panasonic/xing mpeg encoder took 1.5 hours to convert but came up with error. the converted file that remained is 2 hour long and playable as mpeg and is fine but last half hour is missing. what am i doin wrong. strange thing is a 1.5 hour to mpeg rip also gave error when converting for pal vcd using same encoder and missed last half hour. anybody any ideas... also how come i can use the divx compressor and still convert to mpeg. the panni encoder plug in is version 2.1 (i think) will ver 2.5 help
