    My own player wont even recognize the file if it's > 2GB.
    Never heard of a problem with 1 GB. Usual issues are
    resolution too high (> 720&576 pal or 720*480 ntsc)
    Or, bitrate is too high.

    What is your spec of your file ?

    Thanks for the reply
    the files are usually about 1.00 to 2.50 gb
    it has no trouble recognising the files but all stop about three quarter way thru
    about non recognition ..I found that some files have too long a name and were OK once I shortened the title etc
    specs are about 720x456 resolution
    bitrate varies
    All files play OK when converted to DVD format
    or are split AVI/Xvid

    Perhaps it's having problems reading the media. Have you tried a
    different brand ?
    How may minutes is this monvie?
    Presumably the 448 audio is ac3.

    Read your manual for the DVD player and notice the spec's for resolution, codec and bitrate.

    Now get yourself a copy of Winavi and the set resolution and bitrate to the above. I find the default settings work good for me. When changing the default resolution, make sure to uncheck use orginal file resolution. I mainly use Winavi because it fast at converting. Anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the file.

    Get in the habit of running the AVI thru Gspot to see what the file is using. Anything outside the player's spec's run them thru Winavi.
