SVCD to VCD conversion problem w/ TMPGEnc

[Hipnotik]

i have done this hundreds of times with other svcd mpg's i download (all from the same source), but i have a few that are giving me problems when i am converting them to vcd using TMPGEnc.

what i have always done is open the MPEG Tools using the Simple Multiplex where i select "MPEG-1 Video CD" and browse for the svcd mpg,
then convert it. take that new mpg into nero which will burn the mpg into vcd format and allow me to play on my dvd player.

my problem is that with several of the mpg's i've tried converting recently, TMPGEnc just quits converting the file less than halfway through.
so instead of a 800mb file, it creates a 200mb file that i cannot do anything with except delete.

anyone heard of this? if so, what do i do?
i'm trying to refrain from re-downloading the original mpg's because it's a total pain in the ass.

help?

i'm still having this problem, and i can't figure out what the deal is.
this time, i'm using Daemon Tools because i have a bin/cue svcd, and i'm converting the mpg from the image using TMPGEnc to vcd, but it craps out 45% through.

please someone help

Hi,
have you tried running a MPEG fix program across your files (like MPEGCorrector, VCDGear or TMPGEnc under Merge/Cut/Correct button). I suspect you have a MPEG file with errors which kill the encode. By the way I suggest VCDGear (latest version) as sometimes the file is really stuffed and it get truncated by the correction process. VCDGear will actually write the entire file, in segments.

Maybe an Mpeg2 codec problem? (stab in the dark there... )
