Film viewer - avi converter

[F77]

I'm currently working on doing another aces high film.  Since the last update I have been trying to record films.  The films have been converting ok, but for some reason it stops converting part through and the last part plays on the film viewer window.  Has anyone else experienced this?

And every now and then I get an "Add text" box appear?!

Are you trying to use a CODEC to compress the AVI data or are you using uncompressed for the AVI output?  If you are using a CODEC, which CODEC are you trying to use?  There are only a few CODECS which can be used in an AVI file.

If you are uncompressed, be sure to check the "multi-file" option we added.

Hi Skuzzy,

Codec is Cinepak by Radius
Currently trying to get about 11 seconds of footage.  I'm half way through making a film and this has just started,

Cheers,

Leonard

And 1920*1280 at 30fps

Try uncompressed and multi-file.

Looks like it ran fine, uncompressed, although at a gig plus my PC is struggling, and at that size my finishing the next three minutes of film might be an issue!  Could the filmviewer be confused about reaching the file size limit?  Currently trying again with Cinepak but with multi file selected - see what happens.

Just rerun the same with Cinepak and multifile selected and it just ran fine.  Cheers.

The result is two files - one at 73.9MB the second part is 42.2MB.

The 2GB data limit of the regular AVI format is why the film viewer will not attempt to send more than 2GB of data to a file.  There is no way for the viewer to know, after the fact, how much data actually got written to the file, so it stops after 2GB of data has been sent.
