Corrupt font with dvd2svcd

[madhusker]

Can someone help me fix a corrupt font? I am unable to read the log of dvd2svcd because of this issue. When I copy and paste the corrupt text to this post, it magically converts it back to the correct text (see below).

I am using 121 build 3.

Thanks.

Uh... This one is really weird. You cannot read the log in DVD2SVCD, right? Can you read it with Notepad? And with Wordpad?

Is DVD2SVCD the only application that presents this behaviour?

[madhusker]

DVD2SVCD is the only application that does this that I know of. Even if I try to copy and paste the log into wordpad half way through a DVD, all I get is what I pasted on the original post. I think the best thing is a screen shot. Check out this picture.

Replace "mydomain" in the above url with "heathsworld".

Note I am most of the way through the DVD2SVCD process and that is all that I show in the log.

Thanks.

It seems that dvd2svcd doesn't understand your computers CR + LF Ascii codes (Carriage Return + Line Feed). But I have no idea why. Anybody?

Mmh... Maybe it's because they are not there?

@madhusker, can you upload a zip of a log, directly from disk?

@madhusker
Are you using a local drive or a shared one (NFS or similar)?

[madhusker]

@jsoto

Hardware:
P4 2.4HT - running at 2.4! :)
WinXP SP1
Local physical drives:
Drive C: is a SCSI 36G ULTRA320 hard drive. Drive D: is a DVD+RW drive.
E: is a SCSI 108G ULTRA320 windows stripe (3 drives like c: in stripe).

NFS drives (not used for DVD2SVCD)
I have about 10 other drives mapped as NFS from my server, but I also have that on my other XP box that does not have this font issue.

@r6d2

Here is a zip file of the log (I don't know how to upload here).

Well, if you zipped directly from disk it looks like CR/LFs are in there...

I'm clueless.

[madhusker]

yeah, I have been clueless for months now. Since I have the log file it's not too big of a deal, just very annoying. Not worth a recore at this point.

@DVD2SVCD

Does the program call a certain font when loaded?

And if so, does anyone else know how to test this font in another application? I am guessing just install word, or dreamweaver on this machine and try to format some text. It can't believe it would be that simple though.

Thanks.

I think @DVD2SVCD is right. It seems to have to do with the CF/LF, not with the font (the font is just a representation of the characters, it does not define its meaning.)

Since the CF/LF get set on the file, maybe the text window DVD2SVCD uses to scroll the text, for some obscure reason, does not understand them.
