First off thanks for reading this post - this is an old topic, but the most recent discussion of it is closed and after reading it and many older posts, I cannot fix my problem. I am not posting this without researching my problem first.
I got a new computer and of course wanted to test the new speeds I can back-up my DVDs at. I have had no problems using DVD2SVCD with WinXP on my old machine so it shouldn't be a software issue. On the new system for some reason I was getting the Checksum Error, so I found some threads about it and got the checksum patch.
The patch worked, in that I get no Checksum errors now. BUT the encoded video cuts out late in the video and is just a black screen with red writing about a read exception error in the avs file - so technically the problem exists, but the checksum error is ignored.
Sooooo... more reading and some of the thoughts on the forums were that the problem is with the memory - one guy even said when he looks at the avs file in wmp it is messed up before encoding. Well, I checked my AVS file and it is fine to the last second so that is not it. I got MemTest-86 v2.8 as recommended and tested my RAM - no errors, I ran it three times.
I have tried restarting in DVD2SVCD doing the video only but it won't work (it encodes, but still get the bad video towards the end). I also tried opening the generated .ecl file in CCE manually and encoding, but still no luck. If anybody has any other suggestions I am more than willing to be the guinea pig here and report back all experiences.
Thanks in advance!!!
