Import large DV-AVI to the Time-line

monliden wrote on 11/24/2014, 9:10 AM

I can't import the whole DV-AVI movie to the Time-line.

If the whole movie is 7 minutes (1.5 GB on the harddrive) i will get the first 4 min. and 45 sek. on the time-line.

I can watch the whole movie in the preview monitor.

My computer is HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC, 8GB RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

I,m using MAGIX Movie Edit Pro 2015 Plus version 14.0.0.162 (UDPP3)

Hi

How much free space is available on your hard drive and are you using proxy files?

Hi,

Those figures imply that MEP is playing only the first 1.0 GB. I vaguely recall issues about a '1 GB limit' of some sort. It was years ago, and I think it was in conection with importing VOB files, not DV-AVI, but I wonder if that has any bearing?

Hi

. . . . I vaguely recall issues about a '1 GB limit' of some sort . . . VOB files . . . .

@ Terry - there is however it has nothing to do with MEP.  That size limit is defined by the DVD specification and is the maximum permissible VOB size on a DVD 5 disc, the disc can have no more than 5 sequential VOB files.

@monliden - a 7 minute video is well within MEP's handling capabilities - what is the source of the DV-AVI file?

I think I have found a solution.

However when i was importing a large AVI-file (4.5 GB) it took some time.

In the taskbar it popped up an ikon for LAV SPLITTER. I double clicked on the ikon and

I was able to open the setting menu and check off the AVI function before the importing

of the AVI-file was finished.

After that it seems to work fine.

I don't know from where this program LAV SPLITTER (It's part from LAV FILTERS) come.

I have searched the whole computer without finding it and even search the register.
