Newbie: coverted file only 39s!!

[WiseJoeyD]

Hi there!

I converted a DivX AVI file that was 1h 20mins long using FilmMachine.

NB: Everytime time I close fileMachine it throws an access violation error...if that has any bearing on things...

It suceeded in running for 4 hours before eventually finishing. The only file I oculd find was a small 29Mb file and some other data files...definately not a complete movie.

I used the QuEnc and when it was multiplexing the streams it gave a warning about audio streams......But it seemed to skip past that and said it was 'succesfully' created.

in general a bit disappointing....VERY easy to use but ending with a 29 sec file (!) and I thought it produced IFO files too (these were 0 byte files).

Any suggestions about what I did wrong owuld be appreciated. (It used 0.54 version of QuEnc too)

Edit some log files

It was hopefully just a quickie DVD but...well....nice film but REALLY! Not wasting another 4 hrs till I am sure it'll work!

Don't use QuEnc, this is still buggy and is the cause of your short file. QuEnc creates too many framedrops and that is why Mplex stops muxing the video and the audio.

Sollution: use CCE
