I used MKVmerge to split a large 8GB HD movie in to 2 halfs. When I load either one of the halfs into AVI2DVD there is an error. The error is when AVI2DVD is demuxing the AC3 audio stream. A popup opens in a DOS box called "be-split.exe" and it sates that it is trying to fix the error. After a few seconds a error box pops up and states that "file access is denied." Does any body know what I can do to fix this. Should I use a different DVD authoring program ?? A lot of HD movies are over 4.37GB so I know I will have to do this often before I can watch any movies on my DVD player. THANKS in advance for any help.
I would try DVD Flick. It accepts MKV files and you can set the output as DVD-9, then run that through DVD Shrink to fit a DVD-5. http://www.dvdflick.net/
Encode it to DVD-9 then transcode it down to DVD-5???? No reason to take a quality hit on the transcode (not to mention the time), if it's DVD-5 you want... encode it that way. To the OP have you tried the original un-split file in AVI2DVD? High quality sources will really benefit from AVI2DVD's superior HCenc encodes. You could also give AVStoDVD a shot. It also can use HCenc and it uses Quenc for the audio encoding (might handle your problem audio better). It will also allow you to tweak the AVS script if you like (it has a preview). http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=197340 http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=126647
You could also run the split files through Avifixed or Digital Video Repair. Maybe that would help. For splitting/cutting large files I never had a problem with Avidemux.
