I have used Tmpgenc 2.5 to Encode a M2V 2.86GB file Plus Mpeg audio file 102mB. The finished file filled a dvd and I only ended up with approx a quarter of the original file. The finished disc plays perfectly in both of my dvd players and the quality is perfect apart from the missing content. This is my first attempt to Author and I wonder what I am doing wrong in the settings section of Tmpgenc. I have a feeling it might be something to do with bitrate settings but I am not sure.
All help very much appreciated

Hi Admin
The original file when played runs for 1 hr 25 mins.I am sure it should fit on a dvd. I am trying to find more info on bitrate settings.When I started encoding Tmpgenc told me it would take 13 hrs to complete but it shut down after 4hrs hence the missing content.
