I think I got it. I know that I had ticked the "Execute AVStoDVD with Elevated Privileges" box but probably the latest update unticked that as well. I should be cool now...

Found another problem with the menu creation routine...
The selected highlight colors for "Selection" and "Play" are ignored. See here:

I have long been quite reluctant to mess with stuff like the K-Lite Codec pack, and am wary of different installed versions of other widely used items within various apps -- things like Haali Media Splitter, that are used by AVS -- possibly clashing with each other or causing conflicts. So, when I saw this assorted-bunch-of-stuff install screen while installing Zoom Player, I wondered if I might be opening the door to some possible problems. Was that concern unwarranted ? I accepted only a couple of the items on a system that has always had AVStoDVD installed.
When in Las Vegas, don't miss the Pinball Hall of Fame Museum http://www.pinballmuseum.org/ -- with over 150 tables from 6+ decades of this quintessentially American art form. -
You should test if DirectVobSub has a conflict with VSFilter which is used by AVStoDVD. DirectVobSub is the successor of VSFilter and serves the same purpose. A2D loads VSFilter.dll when hard coded subtitles are requested. I have no idea if VSFilter and DirectVobSub use identical function names. If they do and both DLLs are loaded then you have no control over which one of the DLLs gets used. Needs testing...

Same problem you already experienced a while ago...

Your audio is in the AC3+ format, and you specified to keep DVD compliant audio. The version of AVStoDVd you are using falsely assumes that AC3+ is compliant, so you will end up without audio.
Two solutions:
1. Upgrade AVStoDVd to the latest Alpha version (plus the hotfix).
2. Untick the option to keep compliant audio. A2D will then reencode the AC3+ source audio track to standard AC3.

Here's the hotfix. Extract the exe file and replace the one in the run folder from the alpha

I am not familiar with Win 10, but I do remember some similar reports from some time ago (can't find the posts right now).
Did you try to use the Windows compatibility options? You can access the options by right-clicking HCenc.exe in Explorer, select "Properties" and go to the "Compatibility" tab. Then it is trial and error.
If nothing helps you will be stuck with FFmpeg. You can get better quality from FFmpeg if you use my FFmpeg-VBR plugin from here:

Make sure to read the PDF manual before installing the plugin...

Tried some runs with the different compatibility and all have the same result. Looks like I'll have to setup ffmpeg vbr. It's strange because I've been on Windows 10 for a while now and have used AVStoDVD while I was on Windows 10 even, can only put it down to an update I guess.

When converting DV Type 1 files with 2 12-bit 32kHz audio tracks, are the audio tracks identical so I just have to choose one of them?

A new 2.8.7 Alpha release is out.
Cumulative changes log from 2.8.6:
- Some bugs fixed
- Added AviSynth plugin DSS2mod to replace DirectShowSource for video frame serving in 'A2DSource.avsi' script
- Added support to WebM files (*.webm) as input files, subset of Matroska
- Added warning messages when AVC/AAC title is added and Microsoft DTV-DVD decoders are default codecs
- Added a warning message when input title has a DVD compliant audio track with delay, to force audio re-encode
- Added check of .NET Framework 2 presence in 'Preferences'/'System'/'Software Info'
- Added BDSup2Sub 5.1.2 to improve bitmap-based subs handling (resize and resync). It requires Java Runtime Environment
- Added check of Java Runtime Environment presence in 'Preferences'/'System'/'Software Info'
- Added 'Smart Selection' option to 'Preferences'/'AviSynth'/'Hard FrameRate Conversion' option (see Help section for more details)
- Added AviSynth script 'MCJMFPS.avsi' for hard fps conversions (thanks to johnmeier and manolito from doom9)
- Dropped AviSynth script 'MotionProtectedFPS.avsi' for hard fps conversions, mainly due to edge artifacts
- Revised other 'Preferences'/'AviSynth'/'Hard FrameRate Conversion' option labels
- Revised video encoder smart selection rationale: no more HCenc VBR 1-pass for multicore CPUs
- Revised DVD Menu Highlight colors list (Selection and Play). Now they replicate default DVD palette used in AVStoDVD.
- Improved support of VobSub subtitles: resize and resync from BD sources is now implemented with BDSup2Sub
- Improved handling of "non-mod4" interlaced sources within the AviSynth script generation routine
- Spun off Preferred DirectShow Codecs Tool in a separate executable file 'A2DCodecs.exe'

Had an issue trying to convert Monty Pyton Life of Brian to a 3.5GB sized DVD
Basic reason is to save some space on the media player drive so converting the larger media files to a 3.5GB DVD then run that through MKVToolnix to convert it back to a single MKV. Yes, I know I could simply run it through something like VidCoder but this way is much quicker and I have more control over AviSynth scripts to improve the final output. Life of Brian is now much sharper and the colours are better as I used LSFMOD plus ColorMatrix via AviSynth with some background noise removal. The workflow works for me as well !!
Anyway, ran it through using HCEnc and the project complained that the output ratio was less than 1.5 and failed everytime, tried FFMPEG same result. Couldn't understand why as this is the first time I've seen this
Updated the FFMPEG encoder to the latest stable 32-bit static release and tried again, exact same settings just changed the version of FFMPEG and nothing else and it worked perfectly first time and completed without any issues ..... not a clue why but that solved my problem
Also, if I try and use the 64-bit FFMPEG the encode fails instantly, use the 32-bit FFMPEG not an issue. I would have thought changing the encoder to 64-bit shouldn't really make a difference to encoding except 64-bit should be faster
The only difference to standard is I'm using Manolito's FFMPEG MOD, no changes to the encode except using the VBR MOD
Thanks -
Sorry, I do not understand this, could you please elaborate? Output ratio less than 1.5, what does this mean?
Also I think it is a bad idea to use a 64-bit encoder software under AVStoDVD. It might work if you use FFmpeg safe mode (which does not use AviSynth), but in the normal modes AVStoDVD feeds an AviSynth script to the encoder. And if your AviSynth version is 32-bit (which it should be for AVStoDVD) then a 64-bit encoder will fail miserably when it is asked to process an AviSynth script under a 32-bit AviSynth installation.
Cheers

That would explain 64-bit failing instantly, I'm aware 32-bit avisynth needs 32-bit right through which causes issues for people trying to mix 32-bit and 64-bit plugins unless using MP_pipeline
I'm trying to replicate the error I had previously but now it doesn't want to even using the old FFMPEG that was causing the problem -
If you were using the FFmpeg-VBR plugin you probably should reset the AVStoDVD\FFmpeg folder first. The easiest way is to download the "noinstall" version of AVStoDVD, then delete the complete AVStoDVD\FFmpeg folder from your HDD and extract the FFmpeg folder from the downloaded archive into the A2D folder. This way you can be sure to have FFmpeg-VBR completely removed.
For upgrading FFmpeg to a newer version there are some things to watch out for. Please have a look at this post at Doom9:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1814958#post1814958
Any FFmpeg version starting with version 3.12 requires that you edit your environment path variable.

Thanks for those links, I'll update a few I didn't know about such as mkvtoolnix and dgdecode.dll. MediaInfo has always worked for me when new version come out and I had also been using the last HCEnc 0.28 for a long time before that was officially updated. Same with LAVFilters always working, apart from Microsoft insisting their filters were better and not changing to LAVFilters and had to be set manually
I've managed to replicate the error, it looks like DGPullDown is causing the issue as that is where its stalled. Checking the log, its definitely stalled as the last entry says its starting the DGPulldown Operation. The error I have is : Target rate/Current rate must not be greater than 1.5
No ideas why, but might be something to do with HCEnc as this doesn't appear if using FFMPEG for the video
As for the FFMPEG path I wasn't aware of that, I didn't set anything as all, all I did was download the latest stable 32-bit static build and copied it to the FFMPEG folder after backing up the original first and it ran perfectlyLast edited by steptoe; 10th Jan 2018 at 00:27.
