hello there,

i'm using dvd2svcd so as to convert a dvd documentary into svcd. i have read the three guides here at www.dvdrhelp.com concerning all the settings. i've even tried using avysinth 2.08 just in case 2.52 is buggy. i always get the same error:

mux start time is greater than the total time 0 seconds

sound is converted .ac3 > .mp2 without problems.

i'm using tmpgenc and i have realized the encoding time takes less than five seconds! which is just impossible for a 40minute documentary to be encoded. maybe that's the reason why i get that error since the resulting .mpg file created takes 0 bytes of my hard disk.

i have not been able to solve it on my own. please, give me a hand.

i have attached the log file so that you can have a look at it if you feel like it.

thanks a lot in advance,

sunmanking
