Ulead Movie Factory & MPEG2 file import limit

[Attilio]

1.- I have captured a VHS musical using ATI AIW 8500DV, 8.0 bitrate, mpeg2 file system and obtained a 5.4 GB file.

2.- I imported it to Ulead Movie Factory, but when I went to EDIT section and asked for CLIP PROPERTIES, the software only reports 1.4 GB length and when I try to play using Ulead player it goes up to minute 21, then stops....


3.- I converted that file to a *.d2v file and then to *.avi by VFAPI codec and Ulead can read the complete pseudo-avi produced by that codec, which is smaller than 4.0GB...

4.- Playing with TMPEGEnc software, using the DVD wizard and changing settings I received a message that when the produced mpeg2 file is larger than 4.09x GB it can not be recognized properly by authoring softwares.. etc...

So, considering findings 3 & 4, does anybody know from sure if the message given by TMPEGEnc has any relation with the Ulead Movie Factory behaviour??

P.S. I was able to capture to whole musical using Ulead MPEG capture plugin with settings that produced a 1.4 GB file, but for sure TMEPG quality is far much better...

The whole idea is to use Ulead software to convert from an mpeg2 file toi a DVD structure (VIDEO_TS folder with *.vob, *.buf, etc...)

hmm..never saw such a message ...maybe cause I use CCE + Sonic Scenarist

try another authoring software like SCENARIST ... there is a small guide in the tutorial section

the prog is located @ the mainsite

Thanks PRESI..

Please, give me the permission to ask you two questions:

1.- What is CEE?
2.- I have seen Scenarist on this WEB Site.. but since it does not say that it can be runned in XP environment I have not tried it. Do you know if it can be runned in XP. I have had the temptation because I have read it can manage Dolby DIgital better than GEAR PRO DVD 6.0 (updated to 6.2)


At last, how can I know where my question about Quantize Matrix has been moved?

yeah feel free to ask me

1.
CCE = Cinema Craft Encoder = best for transcoding DVD2SVCD or just to transcode DVDs to fit on DVD-R


2.
I´m not 100% sure cause I use Win2k ... but I think Scenarist works also with WinXP ! .... but be sure to use NTFS file system instead of Fat32 !!


3. when somebody moves a post there should remain an arrow instead of your post---> redirects u to your post .... but I think u have already found it

Thanks again Presidente.

You are right.

Yesterday, after I wrote the question, I started to surf and I found where you redirected the thread.

I also found what CCE is. BUT I also have got a nightmare of confusion with the discussion about all the different releases, cracks and features available & unavailable and 30 days expiration etc...

Could you give me, please, a recomendation about where to find an stable and non-time limit version to start to work with it?

Thanks

Attilio

hmm.. I think there isn´t a fully cracked 2.64 ...
CCE still expires after 30 days .... but I still prefer it ...
but I heard something about the beta version of 2.66 somewhere in the forum ...but I don´t have this version ... so I can´t try it ...
