Orange County DVD

I had some trouble trying to encode this movie, Only thing I got after 9 hours of work with DVD2SVCD was a blank screen and some red letter that can't be read, also some audio but it was bad and disorted. I used the same settings for this Movies as all the previous I did before. I didn't get any messages with DVD2SVCD, can't post the log because I was piss and deleted the whole thing. Any coments??

I was able to convert Orange County, but not a 4 pass, a single pass. I find that some movies have no problem with the 4 pass, but those that do always work for me on singe pass. Just wanted to let you know, it's not the movie. Check you settings, I'm using the basic settings described here in the forum. Nothing "special" like luminace, changing the matrix, or 5.1 stereo (tried this and the process hung, and since I can't even take advantage of this feature, decided to leave it off). Good luck.

I would try to encode 1 chpater 1st and see if you get the same error. I have never heard of anyone getting this error when they are using a DVD source. Is it a divx file? I have gotten this type of error when I am trying to encode a divx file that D2S cant understand.

yeah jason28 i've done around 100 movies now, and i haven't found 1 either i know shrek used 2 give problems and such but that was then. If its a divx source that maybe thats the problem in the first place.

Not a Divx...... DVD Source 

I actually did that already, encoded one chapter and still just a blank screen; same for the DVD " A beautiful Mind". I did the first and last chapter and that was it, black screen and choppy sound. While is doing the Tmpgenc procces on the progress bar for "whole" I notice that any other movie display the # of frame and source position, for this two movies the frame # is "0" and the sorce position is "0" too. If any one got any idea how to fix this let me know..... :confused:

@jlr200 have you tried the primal torture test? or have you tried other tests seeing if you have a hardware issue?

Honestly, I haven't tried any tests. I did a quick forum and google search on the Primal Torture Test with no results....what is it? Any tests you recommend I'd appreciate. Thanks.

I think that its linked in the Q and A. Try question 53. :P

Tried the torture test for 8+ hours....no problems found. I've pretty much just settled on the fact that some work with a 4 pass, some don't and have to be a single pass. No biggie though! Still very pleased with the results....:D
