You have some kind of "invalid" character in the output dir.

@JULCAT
No, my directory-name is absolutly guilty (named SVCD)

@GTMustangJim
THX for the link. But there is no solution.

I have deinstalled DVD2SVCD and then new installed the
DVD2SVCD_1.0.4_Setup-Build_2.exe

CCE wan't save the *.ecl file but it saves a file named
CCE_Project_file.ecl.msp (Why *.msp and not *.ecl? I don't understand). In this File are inforamtions about my Soundcard etc.

After 5 terms the prog is stopped. :(

PLEASE HELP ....

I'm sorry for not getting back to you. Like I said I had the same exact problem as you and found the solution (well one that finaly worked for me) I posted the link but it looks like the last 7 replys are cut off for some reason. I had no luck with win2k and ended up going back to WinMe. I reformated and did a clean WinMe install. I installed
DVD2SVCD ver 1.0.4 build 2
CCE with all proper patches
I author with all proper patches


Thats it. No forceASPI or powerdvd or anything like that. Belive me I tried everything before finding what worked for me.

This is what harware I have
1.4 athlon
384 of ddr ram
80 gig maxtor HD


Like I said this what worked for me.

[FreakyChip]

THX for your reply.

My system:
Windows XP Prof
Athlon C 1400
512 MB RAM
Maxtor 80 GB

I have installed CCE 2.50 with then CRC-Patch

At this time CCE wan't to save the *.ecl-File, tired 5 times and then then prog stops.

I have installed AVISynth and it's registered.

I have totally deinstalled the DVD2SVCD-Prog and then new installed.

Enough informations? I hope so ...

I reinstalled Win2k and now it works fine... I had a beta of DirectX installed before and it expired and would get error telling me that it had. After a reinstall I installed DX8.1 and forceaspi1.7 and it works now...

Although I got a resulting file that couldn't be played by Windows Media Player... or anything else... with AVI2MPEG I could look at it though... Frame by frame? no play button? Well, that's a different problem.. Anyway, DX was my problem It was in the way of CCE starting... Maybe something is keeping it from accessing CCE? That's my only idea. Sorry I can't be of more help.

A quick question.
Did you install the full DVD2SVCD bundle or just each program by itself?
If you did each by itself I highly recomend getting the bundle instead. I get the full one each time there is a new release so I can be certain I am current.

Your directory structure appears out of the ordinary. There is no Program Files directory just programme. Also you are doing the encode 2 deep in the directory structure and you are using a number as a diretory name. Try raising the directory up a level and removing the number.

Give that a shot and see what happens.

Mark

[FreakyChip]

I've installed the full software-bundle.
By the way: Is it a good idea to restart DVD2SVCD with the 'Crash Recorvery'-function ... so I don't need so much time for audio again?

@FC

do this:
1) run ccesp;
2) right click in the white field (you will see a button "ADD" - push it);
3) select "all files";
4) load "AviSynth_Script_file.avs";
5) file->save as-> choose a name and save.

If you can do this with no problem, CCE is ok and probably you are using a wrong CCE path.


@markrb

"programme" means "program files" in German. If somebody has a windows version in his own language, the windows folders should be named in that language. Don't you think?

[markrb]

Yes you are right.
I was just questioning the naming convention because I had never seen it.
I have never seen a version of Windows other then the US version.
Doesn't mean much except I thought it was different and wanted to point it out. If, like you said, thats the way it's suppose to be then it should work fine.

Please forgive my ignorance.

[FreakyChip]

OK. I've create a new partition and installed WIN98SE. In this partition I only installed DVD2SVCD,CCE 2.5,CDRWin, TSCV and the AVISynth. And now DVD2SVCD works to the end and the MPG File is ok.
Don't know where the error before, but now it works. Now i use this partition to cretae the MPG's (very good I buyed a 80GB drive :-)).
THX for help

[GtMustangJim]

Yup, Thats pretty much what I did to fix the "tried to save 5 time CCE Promlem" ...Started from scratch and reinstaled the least amount of programs.

[svcdsrcool]

I have been fighting this problem in XP all day. I went into CCE and tried what you said, and it paused for like 10 sec then let me save the .ecl file. When I tried to resume DVD2SVCD it worked properly and created the projectfile.ecl Dont know exactly what happened but that fixed a VERY annoying problem. Once again thx
