My encoding woes

 

I have read of others with similar problems so I attempted their solutions except pulling the clip into the movie making software and bringing them back to MyDVD.

The reason I haven’t tried this is because I have a little bit of a confusing situation. I have found the two clips the program doesn’t like and took them off my whole computer and took them out of the DVD menu. Then I shut down and rebooted. I then brought the same clips off my CD and loaded them back into my computer and the MyDVD program. Now the hang up is on them again only they are the last clips I brought to the program and the encoding gets all the way through the other clips with the gray mpeg encoding screen and then shows the “bad” clips in the preview window. The first one slowly encodes and then hangs up about ¾ of the way through.

All the clips I use are from the same digital surveillance equipment, most taken on the same given day for each DVD. Why would there be a difference with these clips if there are none with the other clips I capture this way?

Thanks!

Without actually seeing them it's hard to say why they would be bad - a gitch in the recording, momentary drop-out, overexposure (from headlights) - could be anything really

 

If you can find the point where the glitch occurs, perhaps you could edit that out - it may only be a few seconds

 

 

Unfortunately these are files that could potentially go to court and cant be an edited form of the original content. I will continue to work with it and see what I can come up with.

Thanks!

You could try capturing with Movie Maker and see if you can get the file on the drive that way - then try importing that into the suite.

 

If it's a case of overexposure, you may be able to drop the gamma value down, if it's glitch - well a bad couple of frames is better than losing the whole thing

They could be corrupted files.
