Movie incomplete on dvd?

[minimumrage]

I use the Filmmachine to make my XVID to DVD.

I have done all the steps. but i want to play the dvd on my dvd player, but there are only the first 3 minutes on it!

I dont know what went wrong. Maybe because Nero isnt registered? I have done now.
What alse could be the problem?

I notice that:
TFM_Muxed_Video.mpg is only 173MB, and the other movie file is about 3GB? the original xvid is 1200MB.

Thx for your help!

maibe you dont have suficient free space in your hdd to filmMachine make the dvd, you need +- 20Gb free to the program be totaly funcionnal.
I was the same problem but now i have +- 20 free gb on mi computer and i do not have more problems in mi conversions.
It is better if you have ntfs reparticion on your drive because your hdd will be used in all totality.

Thx for your help!

the exact same thing has happened to me. I had plenty of spaceo n the hard drive doing the work (30GB+) and it's only burned the 1st chapter VOB to the DVD.

Can anyone help?

[morloch7]

Same thing happenning to me - Found that DVD had been written and finalised while
CCE was still encoding ( only up to 13 % )
Only one VOB on disk

All fine using Quenc......

any clues ?? Desperate .....

[Derodeo]

This eventually happened to me too, every single time I used CCE as the encoder. I never did find a fix for it, only that using Canopus Procoder instead worked fine.

[The-poacher]

be patient guys The Mask will reply soon!!

[The_Mask]

@Hakorey: your problem lies in Canopus Procoder, it shows in the log that video encoding only takes 1 minute. I can't see what went wrong.


I know that some of you have problems with CCE (especially where TFM cannot find the second encoding window). I hope to fix that in the next version.

Hi The_Mask,

Cheers for a very good product.
Unfortenately I had similiar problems while using DIVX/XVID to DVD.
I tried to decode 2 movies.
First try - played for 60 min on a DVD player
Second try (another Movie)- only for 15 min. VTS_01_1 file only 470 MB
Must say the quality was very good though.
I am attaching the log of the second try, hope this can give you a clue

Thanx

This is causin your problem. QuEnc is still in beta and only works not on all computers as it should be. It drops too many frames and that is why mplex stops.
Use CCE or Canopus
