Here is my question/problem. I have a dvd that has a 3 hour plus movie. When I encode it I get a movie that is bigger than the 4 gig barrier and have tried it and it wont play. I want to keep my quality settings, so I thought I could split it in 2 by using the chapters. The movie has 24 chapters, so I made part1 chapters 1-12, then part2 13-24. When I check both mvies though the begining of part2 did not match the end of part1 one like it should. I am doing something wrong or does anybody have anoth sugestion of how to split the movie in 2. Thanks.

Was this because the end of part 1 is cut off a bit?

Yep after looking at it more it looks like part1 is missing about 3 or 4 seconds. It just happened to be a scene transition so it looked like it missed a lot. Is there anyway to remedy this.

can you split it at the previous chapter? 1-11 and 12-24? Not sure it would help, but thats what I would try.

gave it a try, I tried 4 different locations and all the same problem. It looks like around 3 or 4 seconds gets cut off the end of the first encode. I tried 1-11 12-24, 1-13 14-24, and 1-20 21-24. Does anybody know anyway around this? I also gave it a try on the Mac version and the same thing happened, so actualy this is not a windows only version problem. Thanks in advance for your help.

Known Issue, no known workaround or fix as of yet.

ok scott, thanks for the response. So far this was the only movie I had to split, so its not that big of a deal.
