Loop at beginning of Film

[Bill H]

I have created numerous excellent 2,3 and 4 film DVDs using SVCD2DVD, but just recently I am having a problem where two of the three films are OK, with the third playing 3-4 secs then returning to the beginning. This happens when played in a standalone (tried two different ones, so it's not the player) some of the discs play OK on my PC using PowerDVD, some don't play. I was using Nero to burn which I previously had no problems with and have since tried burning with the burn tool from DVDlabs with the same problem

Any ideas???

I've had the same problem only it's always the first film that loops, i can get round this by using search and entering a time say 50secs into the film and it plays alright from there but its still annoying that it doesn't work. Would appreciate any help .

same here...happened after the latest update(not the one I reported on Nov 18, 2003 12:52 the one after) was ok before the latest update.


Here's a log file from a single music video file I ran through svcd2dvd:

This particular video the sound worked on, but the video froze.

Before the latest update a dvd filled to the brim took 35 min. Speed improvement is spectacular

[ChrissyBoy]

Hey semi. Do you want to upload that file to my ftp?

ftp://svcd2dvd:Upload@ftp.svcd2dvdmpg.com:7676/semi/

[semi]

Yep, done.

[ChrissyBoy]

Mmm - set svcd2dvd on it & got the results in VIDEO_TS.zip (have a look)

Works fine for me....

Did it play ok on your PC with PowerPC/WinDVD?

Could it be down to your media or player?

BTW took 34 secs for me!

[semi]

reinstalled...works fine now..once again nice speed improvements
svcd2dvd "vanilla" (without ffmpeg mpgtx and mplexwin32) took 2min and 35 sec

Just did another four films on one DVD, first three perfect, fourth one loops at the beginning only on my standalone, works perfect on PowerDVD. Previous disc had six episodes of Sopranos on and was perfect, doesn't seem to be any consistency.
