Well it works on one hour episodes no problem, but somehow the avi's and I tried dvix too same thing happens after 1h 27 min and 52 seconds it's over lots of movies that it attempts to shrink down in size get killed after that amount of time
anyone else have the same problem? Is there a fix I missed thanks terramir

Do a search on the forums, it's the bitrate that you're encoding it. Reduce the bitrate in the config.xml and you'll find it will work ok.
It's not a gbpvr problem, it's the library that's used by ffmpeg/mencoder etc. David.

hmm,welll there's a 2-gig file limit on avi's...only way around that is if all your apps are openDML compatible.. also,make sure you're not using a mencoder with sse ability as they have broken large file support.. [and even with sse2 it doesn't seem any faster]
also possible some ffmpeg's suffer from this issue.. the ffmpeg in gbpvr works fine, and the latest build off mplayer's site are good for mencoder... not sure if vlc had this bug, as they're all ffmpeg based.. but everything is subject to avi 2gig file limit... only fix is to compress more or use better file format like ogg or matroska or mpeg instead of avi...

ahhh bit rate seems to be 1400 which with audio at 224 seems to be not the problem of a 2gbyte file limit that seems more like a 1 gb file limit now what about memcoder wtf is that I have xvid and divx installed on my system but I dunno what memcoder is?
anyhow explain to me how to track this down terramir

I had problems except mine were stopping at 1:46:33. I reduced the bitrate to 900 and it worked fine to the end of the movie. It's not the 2GB limit that's the problem here, it seems to be an issue of not being able to correctly create a > 1GB AVI. The actual AVI is > 1GB but it seems that the indexing or whatever is broken so it stops reading at 1GB and assumes the end of video. Just try it and see... David.

Are you using libavcodec? (-ovc lavc).. that is the library that both ffmpeg and mencoder use, and I've had this exact problem with it. When I switched to the native xvid support in mencoder, the problem went away. (-ovc xvid).. See if that can do it for you. btw, I've used bitrates as high as 2000 with xvid and didnt have a problem.. it was lavc that was messing it up for me.
also, put in the -idx option in your commandline since that will write a new index to the avi. by using -idx and xvid, mencoder correctly creates an openDML file for me for files > 1 GB.

I don't know which library I have it set to use, I generally compress them down quite a lot anyway because I just take them away to watch on my Archos when away from home but I am sure that what you have said above is absolutely the reason since the same library is called by both ffmpeg and mencoder and when I tried investigating, both stopped at exactly the same point.

Help sorry if I'm like a moron, you might have well spoken spanish to me, dun speak much of that either lol: ok how do I check that and how do I change that? I mean uptill now I've taken one c++ class and well I dun remember jack, On computers I usually find out what broken on hardware or remove viruses. sometimes I have to use commandline for that but that is about the extent, what files am I editing and where to I browse etc to find the stuff?
well that's about it for now Plox help terramir

As I said in my first post, edit the value for bitrate in config.xml
You'll find config.xml in the gbpvr folder and if you search in notepad for ffmpeg you'll find the lines that relate to encoding. One of these parameters has a -b <number>, presently I think it's something like 2400? I can't check as I have changed mine, reduce that, try 900 and see if you can encode the whole thing.
