I've followed two different sets of encode parameters trying to figure this out. I have a fully registered version of the latest software. I've searched their help forums and faq's but can't find the answer to this.
When I encode to mpeg2 (I need/want this for an archival copy) it works perfectly all the way through 100%. Then the file plays perfectly all the way through to the 3:55 mark. then it crashes.
I don't think its a limitation of the windows media player or the computer as both play the Pinnacle DV export from adobe fine which weighs in at 906 megs. while the mpeg2 weighs in at a slim 255 megs or less depending on settings.
Ermacs guides don't cover mpeg2 and I've tried Patrick (Quu's) mpeg2 encoding tips in his guide for video game footage. but both have the same outcome.
any help would be great.
