Green video when encoding with TMPG

[chiphead]

The following is a previous post i put up but am still stuck and have tried many things since. Can anyone offer any experience or advice on this topic. My video is completely green and when I burn the video is green on the stand alone player as well. The ripped vob files play fine using a software dvd player.


I am attempting to create an SVCD with DVD2SVCD. The vob files seem to rip correctly ( have used both smartripper and vstrip). After DVD2AVI and BeSweet are done then Tmpge begins to encode. The screen is completely green and I used settings supplied by a friend who has had good results. Therefore I beleive it is either hardware or codec related? Possibly Macrovision? I thought perhaps reinstalling TMPGE would help but no luck. Also that the Mpeg-2 had expired so I downloaded the trial version of 2.53 Plus but still the same results. I first discovered this after doing a complete rip of this DVD (AI) and the end product was large mpegs (3) that showed progress and produced sound but a totally green screen. Burned to a CDR to test and green screen on the set top player as well. I am now experimenting with another older DVD and just doing one vob to test as I change things and continue to get the green screen. I attempted to install Cinemacraft but I am running an AMD K62 500 and it won't install because of hardware limitations.
Is it even possible to do this on a K62 machine? 256 ram and 30 gig partion for video projects. Sefy? anyone? I am attempting to create an SVCD with DVD2SVCD.

From what you are saying, the problem defenetly sounds like bad ripping for some reason, if you want to be sure of it, try opening the VOB files in DVD2AVI and use the F5 to Preview, and see if the green is also there, that will be a sure thing to find out.
