I have encoded a divx file into xxx.mv2 and xxx.ac3 (no...its not porn) I load both files into tmpg dvd author, and the estimated compilation size is just over 3gb...sounds about right. When i output the dvd folder though, its only creating 1 vob file at just over 800mb, which when burned...obviously...only burns a small section of the film. Why isnt tmpg author putting the whole film out to dvd format? Any input would be greatly appreciated...this is really getting on my nerves. Cheers.

One set of procedures (other posters may/probably will suggest alternative methods) would be:
1) Use "TMPGEnc" (or "TMPGEncPlus") to convert the .AVI (DivX-compressed or otherwise) to compliant MPEG2-for-DVD format - Use "TMPGEnc's" DVD wizard/template to accomplish this
2) Use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (a different program than "TMPGEnc") to easily create the required additional DVD files and structure (and chapters and a menu, if you wish)
**If the combined filesize of the DVD "package" written to your hard drive is greater than 4.37Gb, use DVD Shrink (or similar) to compress
If your O/S is either Win2000 or WinXP, TMPGEnc DVD Author can also burn your DVD. Otherwise, use NERO to burn in "DVD-Video" mode
(As an alternative to "TMPGEnc DVD Author", you could use "DVDLab")

I figured out what the problem was. Upon loading the avi into virtualdubmod to extract the audio to wav format, it popped up with an error, asking me whether or not to re-write the header. The first time I said No, which resulted in only 35 minutes of the audio being extracted...hence why dvd author only put out a file of 800mb. Allowing it to rewrite the header resulted in the full audio being extracted into wav and later on, using besweet, to ac3. Unfortunately this has caused sync errors, the audio track is ever so slightly behind the picture. Also, I made the mistake of converting a file with framerate 23.97 to 29.97, causing the picture to jerk (at least thats what i think caused it). Oh well. I suppose ill just keep trying. Have to learn somehow. Cheers guys.Comment
