Only encoding 25 sec. of video

[Caliber]

I bought the new release of Tombstone and wanted to backup a copy of it just in case. I tried using DVD2SVCD and the video encoding always fails. The avs file will only access the video for about 25 seconds or so. After that time the common "Avisynth:caught an access violation " error comes up. I say it can access the video for about 25 seconds because if I hit play it will go 25 seconds before throwing the error, but if I search forward in WMP it will play the part I searched to. But it only plays that part for 25 seconds...moving the slider to another point does NOT start it going again - once it throws the error that is it.
Any suggestions on what to do? I have tried removing a stick of RAM, but that didn't work. I have tried different paramaters in the avs file - even not resizing at all...just serving it up as is, but still it doesn't work.
So this has been a while I have been screwing around - today I decided to try the old <slow> method of using VirtualDub as a frame server. When I put the file into CCE and started it, it only encoded - 23 seconds!!! This is where my question about some type of encryption comes in. It is strange that both programs have the same problem. So the question: are my vob files messed up? Well, I can watch the vobs from the Hard Drive in PowerDVD no problem, and as I stated above I can search in the avs file to any part of the movie and it plays fine, but only for about 25 seconds.
I would be more than happy to try any suggestions...apart from sending you my computer to look at it. Specs are as follows:

Athlon 1800+
2 x 256MB Crucial 2.5 PC2100
Soyo mK7VXA10 Dragon+ Motherboard
using onboard NIC / Sound
Visiontek Xtasy 6564 GeForce 3 Ti200
Western Digital 60GB Master
IBM 40GB Slave
HP CD-Writer+ 9300 Master
Toshiba SD-M1202 DVD-ROM Set to Region 1 Slave

Thanks!

By the way, the whole audio was encoded no problem - it's all there. This makes it even stranger.
Here is the DVD2SVCD log file - as you can see it thinks the Video is done. After only 25 sec. the video only shows the error, for some reason the video is only an hour long instead of 2 hrs. long though - it stops at about 1 hour ~ 630 MB.

Is this replicatable if you rerip the vobs from scratch using internal routines?

[Winroute]

I use to get this error when i had overclocked my Celeron850 to 1133MHz...... (everything else, including installing Win2k worked perfect, but NOT CCE...)
My problem dissapeared when i raised the CPU voltage from default (1,75V ?) to 1,95V !!

Hope this helps :-)

:rolleyes:

DDogg - Yes I tried to rerip the movie and it still didn't work. I can watch the vobs just fine from the HD, just not using an avs. DVD2AVI seems to work fine though the whole movie too - I need to do more avisynth testing with other sources to see what the problem is.

Winroute - I'm not overclocking my Athlon (yet:)) But, maybe I can up the voltage.

[Caliber]

Well, I tried it again - I removed my old avisynth.dll and moved one into windows/system32 - I made sure all other copies were gone. Rebooted and tried it again. This time the video goes a little farther before throwing the error.
Very strange.
Any suggestions?
