I can capture high quality .avi files with AVI_IO then edit them with VirtualDub, convert them to SVCD with TMPGEnc, then burn them with Nero. I get great results with small files. I want to capture about 60 minutes of video to put onto a single SVCD, but the avi file exceeds the 4GByte limit so AVI_IO creates multiple files. My question is where should I recombine the files into a single file? I have tried combining the mpeg files, but it doesn't give a seemless transition. I have tried using VirtualDub as a frame server but when I start the frameserver it says "Frameclients installed: None". Is there something else I need to install? Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in the guides. Some hinted at it, some ingored it, but none gave details (maybe I was looking in the wrong place . Appreciate any help given. DaveJ
What filesystem do you have?? You need the NTFS file system to support files over 4gigs. WinXP uses NTFS and other windows use FAT32 (which has a 4gig file restriction!)
I have NTFS but the file size restriction is in the avi spec, not the disk file system. That is why AVI_IO splits the files. The capture program that came with my capture card stops when the file reaches 4G, that's why I use AVI_IO. Have you used the frameserve option in VirtualDub? I wanted to know if there is a different setup that I need to make it work. DaveJ
