So basically.....

[dvd2svcd]

there's two things with 1.0.5 Build 1

1. bbMPEG (muxing and cutting) can fail. (which btw, doesn't have anything to do with the warning box)
2. Chapters doesn't work properly.

Doesn't that about sums it up?

Well there is another issue, that some players do display CVD subs but can not show OGT (for instance my player: Mustek V300).

I read that there will be a new version 0.7.12 of VCDXimager which can handle both types of subtitles. That would be GREAT.

Welcome back to the stressful world!

Edit: OK, OK this was another silly post of mine! I just found the CVD subtitle selection and this works perfectly for me.

Sorry :D

And what about:

EDIT: Bad news folks, it seems that only Herberts VCDImager supports the new subtitle format, VCDXBuild fails miserably. Oh, well, I'll fix it when I come back

What do you mean with this?

I meant, that on my player I can only get SVCD subs to work when I use VCDImager, but when I use VCDXBuild it doesn't.

Ok, although my last post was not very clever, here is another one (you may decide if it is clever or not):

If I create a short DVD sample (from 1 or 2 chapters) and use VCDXbuild i get a broken disk image.

Prove: If I burn this image on a disk my standalone and WINDVD can not play it. If I mount the image with DAEMON the image does not work either. I can not even copy the AVSEQ01.MPG file (with explorer) out of the MPEG2 directory (very close to the end of the copy process explorer will issue a strange error message). If I create a disc image with I-Author and convert this .cif image with cdmage to a .cue and then do the tests (as stated above) then everything works just fine (my standalone as well as DAEMON).

However if I test the .cue image (from VCDXbuild) with cdmage it will not report any errors.

Sorry for this long post, but I have done some extensive testing and it is a little difficult to explain.

PS.: I am running W2k on a 1.7P4 processor with 256MB RDRAM.

DVD2SVCD, is it because you can't select the menu?

I have this problem. If i use VCDXbuild, i can't select the menu from the SVCD but i found a solution.
I remove the PBC block from XML and rerun VCDXbuild. That way i can select the menu and thus subtitles. My DVD player doesn't need the PBC block for the chapters so thats great..

p.s. Thats a new feature request from me :rolleyes: Make a checkbox for leaving out the PBC block...
