We have a SVCD2DVD General forum where you may get more answers. This forum is for ffmpegx, a Mac program.

Moving you.

And welcome to our forums.

[Jikchung]

Which version of S2D (full version # 2.5.###)?
Can you open one of the assets that generates the error in Gspot and post a screen shot of the result?

[ChrissyBoy]

And can you post your log file of such a run?

[cathalcelia]

Firstly thank you all for replying to my post.
I have reinstalled my OS (needed it anyway), reinstalled SVCD2DVD ver 2.5.3100. and i keep getting the same error.. I will display the failed log below. I am sure someone else must have had the same problem.
I never had this problem with the older versions, but can't get them on the web site anymore.... can anyone help or just point me in the right direction.
Thanks

And can you post your log file of such a run?

I am having the same/similar problem suddenly. I tried three times to create a DVD unattended and each time came back to a partial VOB file that would not play. A 4th time I was sitting at the machine when a window error box "ffmpeg.exe has caused and error and will be closed" popped up and disappeared. This was on a W2K machine that I have made many good dvds with your program. Today a I ran it a 5th time on another machine (XP64). This time it created a complete VOB1 and started on VOB2, but both were still borked. The log file is from the 5th run. There are about 10K buffer errors.

Thanks!

thepicman: You have a different issue.... the mpeg is not be reencoded. I will do a build for you to test to see if the problem is resolved as soon as I can.

OK, cool

[ChrissyBoy]

thepicman: Can you test that file with the latest build to see if this issue is resolved please?

[thepicman]

Will do CB. Later tonight, Its 9:40AM here, so I must off to work

Pretty much the same results. Logfile attached

Understood the 1st time. I did go to the registered site and d/l the newest version. Perhaps I reinstalled the older version. I'll check.

[ChrissyBoy]

Sorry - let me know how you get on...

[thepicman]

Sorry - let me know how you get on...

No sorry needed. I was bummed at wasting your time. I was doing 10 things at once and was perhaps too far into the grape.

Yes, in fact I did re-install .32. stoopid me.

After installing the proper build, it seems to have run correctly and rather quickly. I am looking at the folder from a remote, so when I get in, I will test more fully. One bit of info that I did not notice from before was that .32 was showing my 5G asset (in the color coded file size bar) as over 6G and then making a 1G _SD2.mpg file. With v.33 it shows the same asset as just a skosh over 3G and makes a similarly sized _SD2.mpg file.

Hopefully that made sense. I'll report back after I have beaten the vob files with a stick.

[ChrissyBoy]

ok - sounding good. I await your results!

[thepicman]

The VOBs play fine, audio is in sync. Have not burned them yet, but all seems well. Thanks!

logfile attached in case you want to examine. Its quite a bit smaller than before, no buffer errors.

Weird, the video in the VOBs is 4:3 and the interlacing is very evident.

edit: the video in the _SD2.mpg file is 4:3 also, did I miss a new setting somewhere? The menu on the DVD is 16:9

[ChrissyBoy]

Can you use the makesample tool in the SVCD2DVD\Tools folder to make a decent sample of your mpeg and upload it to ftp://uploader:badgers@nassau.globat.com/ for me to investigate please?

In the meantime - if you use the "Force 16:9" setting in the Video Encoding options you should be ok.

2 13MB files in folder ThePicMan

one is original one is SD2 mpeg

[ChrissyBoy]

Thanks - I will take a look in the morning.

[thepicman]

Thanks - I will take a look in the morning.

Just FYI, I am away until Sunday, so I won't respond until after that.

[ChrissyBoy]

ok

[thepicman]

Thanks - I will take a look in the morning.

So, was there anything weird? In case it matters, that was a tivo file converted to mpg with TJsuite and edited with VRD.

Not really - but i never had a source of those dimensions to test with. Anyway I have fixed this for the next build. Do you want to test that (drop me an email)? Also did the force 16:9 wok for you?

Email sent, thanks!

I did not test the 16:9 force as I was gone for a few days. I will try to force it later today, but I am leaving town again for Petit LeMans tonight and am not sure if I can in the time available.

Thanks!

Thanks!
