question about 2gig limit and the panasonic encodergreenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread |
Whats up? Are you guys sure it the panasonic will not accpet a file larger then 2 gigs? Frm a clip i had to convert to avi (using virtual dub) it came out to 2.25gigs. I ran it into the panasonic and it encoded fine.

Doug,I run an AVI of 3.6 GB but although the Panasonic did not report any error, the MPEG result was way before the last final frame of the AVI. I quickly judged this because of the limit. Please do correct me if I've made a wrong turn here.

that i couldnt fully answer. All i did was run in a file slightly higher then 2 gigs (2.25)and the whole thing was still encoded fine and it wasnt cut. Maybe it allows files slightly over 2gigs?? Who knows with all this screwy software

Doug,From your experience, which compression is best for an AVI to be fed into Panasonic ?
I understand that uncompressed will give the best result, but in regards to the limit, what codec shall be the right choice (for let's say 1 AVI file of 30 minutes video, 352x240)
Thanks for the attention.

Well, heres my thing. I use the dazzle to capture so my files are done in mpeg (at a rate though of 2900). However sometimes the sync goes out for whatever reason (and its always on the same films i used to try and do). So i would use the virtual dub to convert these to an avi while fixing the sync then re-encode.So its like this my files are 30-32mins at a bitrate of 2900. i then run these in the virtualdub and i am able to set the quality to 100 and i use the Intel indeo 5.04 codec. i have not noticed any loss in quality from this. my final file is close to 2gigs but still under it. I then run it in the panasonic and all is well
