Last 10 min of VCD conversion only black?

[kayasuma]

I just tried to convert a divx file to VCD using TMPGEnc. I also converted the audio to .wav w/ audiodub. The first 40 minutes of the conversion went fine, but when i try to play back the file, the last 10 minutes of the file are just black, with no video or audio. I also noticed this while it was converting, but went back and played it again to make sure i was right. The original divx file doesn't have this problem. Does anyone know what happened? I hate to waste another 3 hours converting the file to VCD again if the same thing will happen again. Thanks a lot.

does it go black after the end of the movie or does the black stuff start at the last 10 mins of the movie

it goes black at the start of the last 10 min of the movie. its making me miss the stuff i need to see.

Might be some bad frames in the DivX stream. Use VirtualDub to check for bad frames, and edit them out if needed.

Ok, i just ran virtualdub and it found no errors. I tried to convert the file to VCD once again from divx w/ TMP... and got the same result. The last 10 minutes of the performance are replaced w/ a black screen. Now I'm thinking about converting it to MPEG if possible, and then just using my sony burning program to burn it as a VCD. Does anyone have any ideas? I've never had anything like this happen, or anything close to it.

I'm not following - isn't this what you've been doing all along? - Using TMPGEnc to create a MPEG and the burn it as VCD?
