Hi i seem to get this error when i try to encode an avi to svcd:

Video : 511 Mb, 1214 Kbps, 23.976 fps, res. 640*352 (16:9), XVID = XVID Mpeg-4, Supported.
Audio : 188 Mb, 448 Kbps, 48000 Hz, 5 chan., 0x2000 = AC3 DVM, Unsupported).

please can you help? Thankyou.

The last line concerning your audio states the problem. It is an AC3 audio file which is unsupported in TMPG. There are a couple of guides on this site on how to deal with AC3 files with TMPG. You basically have to strip the audio file and convert it to a wav file so TMPG will recognize it.
