|Hi, I've been trying to get some television shows into mpeg format so as |to send them to a friend who doesn't have cable, and I've been successful |to a limited extent. When captureing about a minute of video the stuff |comes out great, sound works, mepg looks great. Then I tried captureing |21 minutes of video/audio for an mpeg. The video portion came out fine( I |saved mpeg_encode's output before it was deleted), but when the audio is |mplex'd into the stream, it doesn't work right anymore. I get about 20-30 |seconds of video and then the stream freezes. I've tried using mpegTV to |play it, as well as the multimedia player under windows, with similar |results. In the windows trial run I get the same length of fluid good |video as mpegTV provides, then it keeps going but I only get about 2 |frames per minute(yes, I said minute), and the sound comes in |fine. Anyone have any idea what is going on here? Why smaller files work |but bigger files don't? Thanks in advance... Which version of fxtv? If not 1.02, try that one. Streams written by older versions behaved like this. They didn't write enough FPS, and the MPEG players aren't very forgiving. Of course, I haven't captured anything like 21 minutes of video/audio! That's pretty cool. Be sure to capture to MPEG Ready and then you can tweak encoding and reencode multiple times without a recapture.
