APE 4 truncating clip

Why is APE 4 truncating my clip from 100 minutes to 80 minutes by cutting off the last twenty minutes on import? It's an MPEG 2 layer 2 file. Never had this problem before.

What type of camcorder is this video coming from, and is your project set up for an MPEG workflow?

It's not from a camcorder. It's a converted AVI file with MPEG-4 compression. In any case, I converted the original file to MPEG-1, and that solved the problem albeit at the cost of some degradation.

How are you converting MPEG4 to AVI -- and are you certain you're converting to type 2 DV-AVI and not some other AVI codec?



These details can significantly impact your video quality.

It was AVI (MPEG 4, MP3) to MPG (MPEG 2, MP2). But never mind, I just reconverted the AVI file with slightly different specs and that solved the problem. Thanks for trying anyway.
