Have updated to latest version of
DVDFab Platinum (v3.1.1.0 Beta) and have found a new bug that has ONLY just appeared in THIS version...
I always test new versions of DVDFab Platinum by doing a generic xvid+mp3 encode of the Battlestar Galactica pilot episode (before the main tv series)... I rip the main movie from dvd to my HD, so i have the VOB's ready to encode...
The episode is 2 hours 54 mins long, and when i try to encode it to xvid+mp3 it always encodes a corrupted file if i set the video bit rate to anything above 1370 (have tested from 1300-1400)... By corrupted i mean, it won't play in WMP11 or
PowerDVD or VLC.. Even VirtualDub says the file is corrupt and can't detect the codec required to process it...
I always like to do generic xvid+mp3 @ 1600 video bit rate (i know thats large, but it gives me the quality that i desire) and this has always worked in previous versions, although you still get the sound problem when fast forwarding (but that is being fixed, so not too worried atm), but now it would seem, that in the latest version, it wont encode without giving a corrrupt file at the same settings as i've always used before...
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it something to do with the fact that the encoded file is over 2Gb in size, although this has never been a problem with previous versions? I only wonder as in verions 3.1.x.x prior to the latest version, the encoding was VERY slow, and in v3.1.1.0 Beta, the encoding has been speeded up again to how it was, but now, i can't encode without getting a corrupt file (despite DVDFab completing 100%)...
Sorry about the long post, if you need any more info on the problem, just ask, i can give more details...
