Failed Conversion

[Soul]

Hi, Ive just tried to convert a couple of AVI's to one DVD. The program seems to have run fine right until the end, and it hasnt made any dvd files in the folder like it ussually does. Obviously Im curious why this failed so I can prevent it in the future, but also.. I have a 4.5gb TFM_Muxed_Video.mpg file there, is there anything I can do to make this into dvd playable and not waste all the encoding time?

Thanks

Heres the log. (BTW I also suffer from 3gb conversions, ill try post a log when it does this again unless this 3gb thing is intentional?

Just a little more info, i *think* i set it to remove temp files to save disk space when I actually ran this one, could that be whats happened? Any way to make a dvd out of that file without doing the whole 6 hour thing again?

Well, the message was months old, but knowledge is good to aquire IMHO, so the answer is yes, use TMPEG DVD Author to make the mpg file playable (or just play it as mpeg on cheap players that understand it - like anything from ASDA or Tesco in UK)
