nandub errors...

Lashford42 · 14th January 2003, 06:22

some of my movie files are too big to fit on cds so i try to use nandub to reencode them to 700mb with the internal bitrate calculator. often times however, the program has some error at different points of progress for different movies. ive tried redownloading the movies, and rederiviing the key frames, but the key frame derivation will mess up too, and newly downloaded files do the same thing. this is also the case on straight up virtual dub... is it my computer, or just a hopeless file?

I would say bad downloads.
If the avi plays fine in media player, etc, try this in AVSynth.

DirectShowSource("c:\my movie.avi, fps=25") #The 25 being the framerate
Each frame will be treated as a keyframe. You will have to re-encode though......direct stream copy no good to you here.
Try it and see what happens.

You're talking about re-encoding to the same format? You will be losing alot of quality this way. If the file won't fit, cut the credits, re-encode the audio, or compress it into a zip/rar file. Re-encoding the video should not be done.

Isn't overburn the CDs a choice?

I've been able to put some 725MB (almost 83 minutes) on a standard 700MB/80min CDs using nero, without any problem...
