Can´t start SVCD2DVD+ - Directory does not exist

I just installed SVCD2DVD+. I can´t start, because I always get the error "Directory does not exist". It doesn´t mater, what directory I choose (it is definitly not a file!). Can anybody help me please?

It seems to be an upgrade related issue , though i am not sure which specific upgrade. After experiencing the same problem , I uninstalled my copy of (s)vcd2dvdmpg+ and then re-installed it , this time i didnt do the update from 1.0.1230.10831 . It works fine now without that " dir does not exist " error. Seems that when I did the upgrade I was at version 1.0.1271.35733 when i had that error come up .

yo dude i had probs with svcd2dvd+ but trust me its u cause it was me he he. when u install it make a new sub folder in ur svcd2dvd+ folder and call it besweat(not besweet) then download and extract besweat to that folder. then place the reg xml in the svcd2dvd+ folder and thats it
now update it and it should work fine. also even though u have mpegs and they look like mpegs i found that they were'nt so use vcdgear, and select mpeg to mpeg just to make sure ok laters dude

Hi,
I installed the program via download. I unpacked the zip-file and startet the msi-installer. Then I installed besweet. With the first run of SVCD2DVD+ the program made an auto-update. Now it´s build 1.0.1271.35733. I just removed the program and made an new installation. But I can´t install without the auto-update (the program won´t start without), so the error is still present.
Thanks

Are you saying that if you just start the application from the Start menu it doesn't launch - you get a "Directory doesn't exist" error dialog? Or are you saying that after you launch it and browse to a folder for your source, you get the error when you press start in the application? Have you tried right clicking on the folder to start the program?


BTW: I just found a bug myself (it will be fixed in the next update). Starting SVCD2DVD on a folder which contains a hyphen "-" causes this issue ("Directory doesn't exist"). To workaround rename the folder so that it has no hyphens.
