Thank for pointing that out. Yes I found the unfinished file and it was3.99GB. I have adjusted the bitrate and I now have 1 mp2 file of 2.5GB and a wav file. I am now trying to import them into Pinnacle Impression 2.1SE. (Old version I suppose). It appears to import but if I try to drag the mp2 file to the timeline it says "The video file has not finished importing". This is long after the progress bar has finished. I thought the file may be corrupt but it plays OK in Media Player.
I also have Pinnacle Expression as part of Instant CD/DVD but that does not recognise either the mp2 file or the wav file. According to help it should allow both of them to import. Anyway I'm stuck for now as I can't author the video and make the DVD.
Do you have any ideas about how I can import the files into my software or is there any freeware or demo software I could try off the net?
