View Full Version : DVD2SVCD not shutting down in Batch mode

I've been converting small TV episodes from DVD to SVCD with DVD2SVCD running in Batch mode. I set up each episode, run & stop in a separate folder. So for 3 episodes my Batch file would look like

@ECHO OFF
REM DVD2SVCD Batch Control
"E:\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"H:\TEMP1\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -exit
"E:\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"H:\TEMP2\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -exit
"E:\DVD2SVCD\DVD2SVCD.exe" -d2s:"H:\TEMP3\dvd2svcd project file.d2s" -run -exit

In the last of the 3 episodes, I tick the box Auto Shut down. However, when I run the Batch file, it encodes all 3 episodes fine and returns to the Desktop and does not shut the computer down. If I encode just 1 episode by itself as normal, then it does shut down as it should.

I've also noted a program called shutdown.exe in the DVD2SVCD folder, but at best all I can get it to do is shutdown to log off user screen on my Win2000 system.

Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.
