Hello, i'm having one major problem with DVD2SVCD.

INTRODUCTION
============
I'm converting a large collection of DVDs to SVCD.

My procedure is to insert one DVD in my DVD drive, run DVD2SVCD,
and start the rip & convert, once its finished, close DVD2SVCD,
erase the containts of the \Movie directory, and start over.

The ripping and the conversion with CCE 2.50 works perfectly and
everything seems fine.

I copy the cue/bin files to a backup harddrive and completely
erase my \Movie directory for the next movie.


THE BIG BAD BUG
===============

Once i've burned most of the movies that i ripped, i played some
of them to see how things went.

Half the movies have the wrong 'title image'. What happened was,
if a movie did not have a title image on the internet database,
it used the title image FROM THE PREVIOUS RIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, some movies had 10-15 seconds of the introduction of
the previous rip aswell!!!

For example, i ripped Eyes Wide Shut, and after it, Men In Black. Now
when i play Men In Black, i see the title picture along with about
10-15 seconds from the start of Eyes Wide Shut.


PLEASE HELP
===========

I have tracked the problem of the wrong 'title image' to be
that DVD2SVCD stores the current title image in its current
directory instead of the \Movie directory, and instead of using
the default image on each startup, it uses the previously used
one by default.

I am not sure about the second problem, i expected that once
i erased all the files under \Movie, i should have erased
everything. Apparently not, i wonder where those 10-15 seconds
come from...

Any help and suggestions would be very much appriciated.

Thank you.

All problem posts go in basic section, also if you can edit out the swear word used in your post, as that type of language is not tolerated in this forum. Thanks in advance.

follow those tips in advanced reference and you should never encounter those problems. I just did 9 dvds in batch and also just finished 12 in batch. Zero problemos.
