Problem with TMPEGenc and movie length

[adlh]

Newbie here, having a problem trying to convert a movie.


I'm trying to convert a .avi with TMPEGenc. I'm using the wizard, selecting "DVD - NTSC" to convert it. The original .avi is (I believe) encoded with DiVX 5. Now here's the problem. The movie is 108 minutes long. But when I try to convert it, the program reads the movie as being 208 minutes long, and tells me the file is too long to convert. How do I solve this? thanks.

Chances are it contains a VBR (Variable Bitrate) .MP3 audiostream.

Converting .AVIs with VBR-MP3 Audio for use with TMPGEnc

Using VirtualDubMOD to Convert "VBR" .MP3 to Uncompressed .WAV

1) Load the .AVI file into VirtualDubMOD (a different program than the standard VirtualDub)

2) From the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Direct Stream Copy"

3) From the "Streams" dropdown menu, select "Stream List" - and rightclick on the audio stream, then select "Full Processing Mode" - then click on "OK"

4) From the "File" dropdown menu, save .AVI with a new filename
