Greetings!

I am attempting to make my first DVD from a tv cap. Here's what I did: Capped the show with vdub/huffy, filtered/served (mainly just IVTC) via avisynth to TMPGenc, which spit out a m2v file and a wav. My problem is this: When I open the m2v file using any media player, the length of the movie is significantly shorter than it is supposed to be, i.e., my 92 minute movie is being reported as 54 minutes. Is this normal? It will play to the end of the movie, so it appears to be all there, but the media player reports it as being much shorter than it is.

Thanks for any info on this

Yeah, it happens all the time with an M2V file. I think it's a bug in media player (or the MPEG-2 filter). The movie is all there.

That's a relief! Thanks for the info.
