DVD2SVCD: Multiplexed MPG file is MIA after cd image created

[greenghost]

So far I've successfully used DVD2SVCD to back up some tv episodes from DVD to SVCD using my PC at home and at work. However, when I run DVD2SVCD at work, the multiplexed MPG file is nowhere to be found after the bin/cue files have been created. At home, the MPG file is still in the same directory and I can view it to preview the SVCD I just made before burning.

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what setting to change so the MPG file won't be deleted after the cd image is created... Not a big deal, but I am curious... Below is the end of the DVD2SVCD log file from one of my backups in which the MPG file wasn't in the directory after everything was finished.

Unless the option 'Don't delete any files' is ticked in the 'Misc' section, DVD2SVCD will delete the MPG file once it has created the Bin file.
