    oliblake,

    when converting your file, are you outputting audio and video streams seperatly? i.e ES(audio+video). If so, try system(audio+video).

    what i meant to say is, why are they too big to fit on a dvd? and also tmpgenc 3.0 express still has the vfapi frame server problem and you cant change the priority of it!

    oliblake, don't know why the file sizes change but use dvd shrink to fix the problem or use nero vision express.

    vfapi is a plugin server, you change the priority of the plugin your having problems with, not change vfapi itself.

    what i wanted to do was put 2 divx/xvid files on to one dvd, and i tried doing it with nero but it crashed after 30 minutes. dvd shrink wont accept avi files. some xvid/divx files work with TMPGenc, but some are too big to fit on dvd

    all there is in TMPGenc 3.0 Xpress is Options and Preferences. ive tried moving the plugins around in the VFAPI section but it still comes up with the VFAPI frame server error, when i try to encode a divx/xvid file.

    i thought people were meant to help on this forum. i NEED to know why TMPGenc makes xvid/divx files way too big to fit on a dvd and i want to fix it. TMPGenc 3.0 Xpress doesnt work at all cos of the stupid VPAFI frame server!!!

    They are not too big. Normal DVDs can hold 120 mins of video. You can increase that to over 400 mins if you use VCD format. (Yes you can author dvds using vcd inputs)!!!!!

    Joe777, if virtualdub is stopping the audio extraction at a certain point, there are only a few things that could be wrong.

    1. Corrupted file
    2. No space on HDD
    3. Not enough resources (mem and or processor)

    But sounds like it's number 1 to me. Virtual dub has never frozen on me or any of my hundreds of avis.

    the reason v dub gives for stoping extraction was "possible live lock".I have never heard of live-lock before has anyone else heard of it.A few times i have seen v dub saying that it cannot read a certain sector due to corruption and it stops extracting but never anything about live-lock.Any ideas.And the most strangest thing is that the file will play from start to finish without any probs only when encoding all the probs start.Strange but true.

    i am having a problem with TMPGEnc. I have 3.0 Xpress, and I am trying to do avi to mpg. I did it before with the same ionstallation and it worked fine. now when it tries to convert, it only reads the first few frames of the video but all of the audio. it just stops at a certain frame and the audio keeps going. does anybody know of a certani codec that might be causing this because i installed some new ones recently.

    Hi,

    i have a question that I hope it can be answered here. I have two files for one movie. The movie being King Arthur.

    I was wondering if it was possible to put both movie files onto ONE DVD+R or DVD-R?

    Is this possible and if so what programs do I need?
