Multiple HDTV TS files to DVD with SVCD2DVD HELP

[ndoggac]

1st post here so go easy on me....I've been trying to process 3 *.ts transport stream files ripped from my comcast box with capdvhs to a dual layer format dvd using the full version of SVCD2DVD. All three files check out in GSpot as true transport streams and play fine in VLC.

File1 - 1920x1080 30fps, ~4.1 GB
File2 - 1280x720 60fps, ~7 GB
File3 - 1920x1080 30fps, ~4.2 GB

I drag all three into the assets section at the bottom of SVCD2DVD, hit auto-layout, it comes up with 3 movies in the left-most pane, each movie with it's one corresponding VTS entry in the next pane to the right. Click the check box for dual-layer and hit auto-fit. Setup my menu and button names with no problem, and click make dvd with options....with menu, no burn. It runs through the processing in about 15 hours or so, I get the 3 mpg S2D files (about 300MB total) in the same directory as my .ts files (all on the E: drive, separate hard drive), and the DVD (audio_ts and video_ts) folders on my desktop (C: drive where i chose to have them created). The DVD folders are only about 400 MB though but I still try burning to a dvd, and obviously it doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong? Can SVCD2DVD handle the different resoultions and frames per second? What am I missing? Shouldn't the output DVD folders equal up to ~7.8 GB? Thanks in advance.

Yes the DVD should be larger (assuming the duration of the movies are sensible). So something is amiss. Can you post your log please?

Didn't save the log file from the first run, but am re-running the same way, should be done by the time i get home from work tonight, i will post the log then. maybe it'll just work this time.

Logs are save automatically... Which version are you using?

[ndoggac]

Didn't realize they were save automatically...included the log file from the run i started last night. Still got the same results (450MB) DVD output folder.
I'm using the latest version of SVCD2DVD (2.5), just bought/downloaded it 3 days ago. Looks like from the log that no video information is being written, only audio.....why is this??

Something funny is going on for sure. Can you use VideoReDo's "Quickstream Fix" on one of the files:

and make sure:

Then can you try again with just the single file (to see if that solves it)?

i actually rolled back to SVCD2DVD V2.1 and everything worked. With, V2.5 I tried an AVI to DVD conversion of some other files I had and the log file showed the libavcodec was not compiled correctly. Any chance the newest version (V2.5) download from the site is corrupted somehow? V2.1 performed both the AVI to DVD and the TS to DVD correctly. I also noticed that the latest version of SVCD2DVD available to registered users is not as late a version as the free version....not sure if that's right or not.....I'm running one more project with V2.1, and then I'll try re-downloading and re-installing V2.5 and see if I can fix what the problem is.

ChrissyBoy...thanks for your help, I appreciate it. Taking note of your procedure since I probably will need it in the future for other HDTV caps.

Can you try the latest build - it may well resolve your issue.
