    Honestly, why buy a BR/DVD player any more and get subjected to what Sony/Samsung/LG deign to allow you to play???

    100% agree. MKV is the way to go. I also noticed that more and more DVD/BD players have MKV capability off external USB device...

    You really should look at another container than AVI also. MKV is now the container of choice for most of us.

    Depends on what equipment you are going to use for playback though.

    OK. Thanks for your help. I hadn't realized that avi file size was a problem. I guess I will have to figure out how to make them smaller. What is the largest reliable avi file size?

    Keep them under 2Gb to be safe....Some players will just not play them larger than that.

    Still doesn't matter IP.

    He shouldn't be using an AVI container for a file that big. Fraught with problems.

    If it is >4Gb as an AVI, this is well outside the specs and I would expect it to crash.

    If you are going to use files this large, I suggest that you use the MKV container or bring down the bitrate & resolution of your encode.

    I did as you said and switched everything to Software. It did work and created an avi file but when I try and play it with windows media player, the medial player crashes. It is a 4.2 gb file and it took 1:40 to convert so it must be a movie. Any ideas?

    Hi,

    I changed the video setting s to software and it worked. I took about 1:45 min to convert a 9GB mkv file to avi (ended up 4.2GB). The problem is, when I try to play it, it lock up windows media player. I can't play the avi file.

    Here is the DVDfab log:

    177m 31.82s:


    ------ begin mobile work(1/1) ------


    177m 31.82s: create config(3)
    177m 31.82s: convert profile(generic.avi.divx.mp3)

    277m 06.91s: audio_encode finish job
    278m 37.12s:


    ------ finish mobile work ------


    Here is the log from media player:

    (a) please set all a/v settings, encoder and decoder for software and give it a try. Please let us know how it goes.
    (b) you can open log with notepad and remove (delete) everything, but related to troubled process, and post here only relevant part.
    (c) MediaInfo is a freeware, little utility I would suggest you to have (google it, download and install). It can help you in a future as well.

    @GregiBoy
    It seems OP didn't even get to the "play" part of the process. OP can't even make conversion to work with 8.0.5.6. There's something wrong beyond codec(s) of the player, but DXVA.

    Actually, MrdiaInfo on source and encoded files would be even more awesome!!

    Also, have you tried to play it with VLC, not just Media Player? I suspect the video codec.

    A) A?V Codec?: H.264=DXVA, VC1=DXVA, MPEG2=Software.

    B) Log:

    It is too long (110,603 characters)

    Is there perticular part of the log or am I looking at the wrong log?

    C) I don't know how to obtain that information.

    Thanks for you help.
