What is going on? Any suggestions on another program? Thanks

Did you d/load the DVD2SVCD software bundle or just the program? I think you just got the program. Go to:

http://dvd2svcd.doom9.net

and d/load the newest software bundle and install. It has all the support programs you'll need.

Also do you have a copy of CCE 2.5SP? You can find it at:

http://www.doom9.org/mpg/dvd2svcd.htm

as well as the users guide and setup. This site has the CCE demo which will place a logo/watermark in the bottom right of your encodes. Although I hear that there's a crack to remove this

nope, got it all installed what else?

How did you rip the DVD? Try using the internal routines instead of vstrip or smartripper.
