Newbie to TSCV........HELP!

[Phred_Phlinstone]

I'm new to this but I followed Martini's VCD menu/chapter guide. I only deviated from the guide in the following areas:

1. I'm using the current version of TCSV
2. .mpg wasn't split into chapters (each .mpg was already its own chapter)
3. When adding my .mpg's a window popped up asking for a vfapi-avi and I just cancelled this window as the guide did not mention it.

When I went to create the bin/cue files, I received the following log error.

Starting VCDxBuild process...

**ERROR: error while parsing command line - try -- help

VCDxBuild finished

Any clues how to fix this problem??? Remember, I'm a newbie. Thanks.

If you do not want to use vfapi, you have to de-select it under settings. If you want to use vfapi, then you have to convert the mpg file to vfapi.avi file using vfapi v1.03

Thanks for the VFAPI clarification. Your suggestion worked great, but I am getting the error when I try to output the bin/cue file. One thing I forgot to mention is that I am running Windows XP. Would this have anything to do with my problem? Thanks.
