Capturing Mystery!! Help?

[Hisham]

Hi,
I am capturing from my analog video camera. I have an ATI 7500 AIW and I capture using Ulead Studio. I usually capture to AVI and then produce XVCD(720X480). I follow the guide posted here(capture avi, edit/convert to mpg2 using ulead, use TMPGEnc to produce the XVCD).

When I capture clips for about 1 min(30 of them), the XVCD quality is excellent. However, if I capture ONE 30 min clip(the file size is about 48 GB), the end product becomes greener and the quality is quite low.
I don't understand why the file size might be a factor???

odd -- a heat issue perhaps ?

If you get an error message when opening the video or audio like file unsupported
or you get an empty(black) video preview window
or the video look wierd in the video preview window like green or purple or pink
Be sure that you have installed the DivX Codecs (both DivX 3.11, 4 and 5) and also try with the Nimo Codec Pack. If that does not work try to change the codec reader settings in TMPGEnc under Option->Environmental settings->VFAPI plug-in and right click on the DirectShow Multimedia File Reader and increase the priority to 1 or 2 and try open the video.

Tommyknocker- he said that it was a progressive thing and didnt happen with short captures -- not a codec issue or tmpgenc settings (also he doesnt use tmpgenc for encodes anyway)
