Resolume Forum

Hi

im outputing a mix from resolume to produce a DVD. The process and output resolution are both set to 720x576. From this i can get a nice smooth result from the output avi's when recording. However if files get big ie around 2gb or bigger they appear as corrupt or unsupported formats if i try to import them into Premier or Encore, infact they are not even playable in movie players. As i say smaller files sizes are fine.

Anyone got an ideas or solutions this?

cheers,

The avi-standard says, that files-sizes bigger than 2gb are not allowed. There are still programs which do create avi-files bigger than 2gb, but that is not standard conform.
To record larger sets, use a) a digicam and/or b) Adobe Premiere where you can directly encode your videos after recording.

thanx for the swift reply mfo! dint know that - damn!

When you say use 'Adobe Premiere where you can directly encode your videos after recording'

what exactly do you mean? I still need to output from resolume and cannot get the recorded avi's into Premier. Sorry to be a pain but could you explain the process a bit more for me!?

In terms of using a dv cam, i think using AV signal will be much poorer quality no, you may have seen my other post, i think resolume still will not output via firewire to DV huh?

thanx,

No, Resolume doesn't output to Firewire - unfortunately.
So, there are two options that i'm using from time to time.
a) Record to a Cam, than rerecord to your computer.
b) Send "through" a cam to a second computer, where you record the set in Premiere. This gives you a little tiny bit better quality than a)

There have been some alternatives being discussed in these forums, like VGA-recorders or scanconverters. But they cost a lot of money.

while where on the subject, does anyone know of a decent 'professional standard' video editing program that can process 2MB+ avis's?

last time I checked the file barrier of 2GB was related to storing methods like, FAT, FAT32, NTFS.

Mfo do you have a techsheet for avi ?

well the funny thing is....

If i string together 2 or 3 avi's (1.9GB each or less) in Premier and export without compression, i can end up with an avi of around 4GB which then seems acceptable to all programs. I can even play the file in most media players and import it into Encore for DVD mastering.

So it seems its not so much a problem if it comes from a standard professional authoring program but has something to do with being spat out from resolume?

So, allthough the 2gig barrier may have something to do with storing methods it seems this limit can be circumnavigated as long as the file comes from certain programs.

I wonder if the makers of resolume know of any editing software that can deal with resolume outputted avi's bigger than 2GB?

Im outputting interative flash animations to master to dvd and some of the sequences are longer than the 2GB limit. Any help appreciated.

Working with files upto 9GB here, not exported from resolume though, perhaps it is indeed a resolume maximum? Ask bart, drop him a line by mail.

Exactly the same problem here. No player / editor will open the 2GB+ files created by resolume, not even virtual dub thatb is supposed to be able to do so.
