I have a 5 gig file I can play it fine in movie maker when I come to save it
as a high quality AVI DVI - PAL file it creates it then dies just as it
finishes and the program bombs? Any clues?

Cheers

What type of file is the original 5gb?
What is it's playback length?
Example, a 5gb mpeg will translate to a 30gb AVI!!!!
AVI has a limit for file size, 4gb is the max.

You maybe best advised to edit the 5gb file into
a series of 2-4gb AVI files. then convert to one
long play Mpeg2 file.
 
THanks for your speedy reply. The original DVD has 4 vob files which I
changed in to an avi file using autoGK. It opens fine in moviemaker with
sound and video perfect but when I try to "finish" the movie 0 it bombs at
teh end. So I should try to make them smaller.

I have TMPGEnc DVD Author1.6 which I suppose I could use to chop segments
out then reburn to a DVD.

My original intention was to cust the beginging and end off the segment /
convert to avi then play in powerpoint for a presentation. Is this possible?

WIll converting to long play MPEG2 degrade quality?

Thanks

Ian

The old adage applies, "rubbish in, rubbish out", if you were
confident that the all revealing DV-AVI format wouldn't reveal
any shortcomings, then nor will an mpeg2. Degradation shouldn't
be an issue, the quality of source meterial is the important factor.
Though I'm not sure what you mean by a "long play mpeg2"?
