2 pass-encoding

[hannibal]

Hello
at first i have tosay sorry, because my english is not very good.

My Projekt:
Compressing a 3 Hours (about 10800sek) DVD with the divX4.12 using Flask 5.94. Video-Bitrate is about 2100 and Direkt Audio Stream 384kbit AC3 ------> 4CDs.

The 1st pass of the 2pass encoding is done correctly and i have got a 21MB logfile. The 2nd pass resulted a broken file without any keyframes (filesize over 2gb). Thats my first Problem!
So i decided to compress the Movie in 4 steps in the second pass using the "Play"-funktion of flask. When i start to compress in the middle of the Movie, that would be for example the 135000th frame, will the codec start to read the logfile at that frame too. Do flask and the codec correspondent correkt?? If the codec doesnt use the logfile correkt, what can i do to compress the movie in one step resulting a large file over 2gb?

Thanks for any help
Bye, Hannibal

Your problem is that flask 0.594 does not support OpenDML AVI.

I suggest that u upgrade to a tool that supports OpenDML such as flask 0.6 or virtualdub, this will solve the 2gb avi file size limit.

And whats with the logfile andthe frames. does anybody got an anwsere??
