After ripping 3 Images instead of 2

[Simi Deluxe]

Hi Guys!

I already had several problems with the latest version of DVD2SVCD but this problem is the worst. I haven't found a solution yet. If i rip a DVD sometimes I get 3 Images instead of 2. Although I have changed the CD Numbers in the Bitrate Layer to 2. And the film isn't even that long. Why does this happen, can someone help me please? Thanks!

Hi, @Simi Deluxe,

You seem to be experiencing the problem described in Q32 of the DVD2SVCD FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21859).

Perhaps you have set Min. Avg to 1800 and checked it. I think this because there is only a 1% chance of DVD2SVCD calculate a BR like 1800.

You are also using 74 minute CDs, Are you sure that's what you have? If you have 80 min CDs, set all sizes to 800 on the Bitrate tab.

You are also doing 3 passes with CCE, which is actually 4, and you have a fast system, but no more that 2 passes are really needed.

As a rule of thumb, it is a good idea to read the stickies and follow from the start the suggestions made there (:readfaq:, :logfile:, :readguid:, :search:, etc.). You may find the problems you are having are very likely to have been covered before.

[Simi Deluxe]

Thank you very much for your help, I really had set Min. Avg to 1800 and I also checked it.

I am using 80 min CDs but in the Bitrate layer the size of the CD is given in MB. You are able to burn an Image with 740 MB on a 700 MB CD-R with 80 minutes. I hope you are able to understand my confusing way to describe what I mean :)

Anyway, thank you for your help and you tip with the 2 passes.

[Nick]

SVCD uses areas on a CDR normally reserved for error correction. As a result you can fit a full 800MB on a 700MB 80 minute disc. If your discs are 80 minutes, set the disc size to 800 in all boxes in the bitrate tab. You will not need to overburn to do this.

[Simi Deluxe]

And again I've learned something new. Thank you!
