mencoder losing program segments

[mikelu]

I'm using gbpvr to record, comskip to mark commercials, and mencoder to remove commercials and compress. It works great for regular programs, but I have found that a two hour American Idol causes the resulting avi to be only 42 minutes long - it loses half the show. There seems to be a limit on the number of cuts in mencoder. On last night's show, it had the first 4 segments (4 parts cut out), then the 10th segment (and one more part cut at the end). The mpg looks fine in Comskip, plays fine in gbpvr, Cuttermaran cuts it fine, but mencoder isn't working correctly.

This is how I call mencoder:

"C:\program files\devnz\gbpvr\mencoder.exe" -priority idle %1 -edl "%~dpn1.edl" -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=128:mode=3 -ovc xvid -xvidencopts fixed_quant=4 -vf scale=512:384 -o "%~dpn1.avi"

Does anyone recognize this problem? Am I missing a parameter?

Thanks,

Mike
