Keep getting a black screen after 8mins with Tmpgenc

[girlfromthesun]

I am encoding an avi in TMPgenc to make it an svcd.
I had to split 2x 700mb avi's into 4x350mb avi's via virtualdub and I also converted the audio into compliant wave files(44100).

The last 3 avis have encoded perfectly--it is the first (and most important) avi I am having trouble with.

After about 8 minutes of encoding, the screen goes black. The avi plays perfectly all the way through when I watch it via Windows Media Player, so I can't see why it goes black at the 8 minute mark.

Any suggestions???

Try the following with the "problem" 350Mg .AVI:

1) Load into VirtualDub or NanDub

2) Set BOTH 'Audio" and "Video" to 'Direct Stream Copy"

3) Save with a new filename


Let us know of your success ;>}

Thankyou for your reply...

I had done that , and still I had no success.
But I am trying this....
I scanned for video errors using virtaldub, and it came up with some bad frames, so I then selected audio-direct stream copy and video-direct stream copy and then saved the new avi.

I am now encoding with my new avi in Tmpgenc, and I will see how it goes after the 8 min mark.

Crossing fingers..
