Downmixing Audio

[norm69]

Help!! I am a newbie to DVD burning and have tried many different softwares that are out there. I am now trying to get DVD2SVCD to work. It seemd to run fine until it gets to the AZID part. It will get to extracting, downmixing and then start the gain offset. and somewhere during this process the program will lock up and freeze my system. This is from the log as to how far it gets.

Downmixed audio is in the movie folder as well as the final audio, final audio has 0 bytes in it. Downmixed audio has the complete audio of the dvd.

I have read through some q&a's of the forum and wondered if the fact that I do not have a gnot folder might be causing this. I am using version 1.0.4 build 2, and it did not install this folder. I am using an AMD K6-500, 20 gig hard drive, 576M Ram. Any help would be appreciated. Also if there is anyway to copy the dolby digital 5.1 audio let me know.

Thanx a bunch.

If you wanna make svcd there is no way you can get DD 5.1 audio with it. Some people say they can get multichannel audio with svcd, but very few. Try searching the forum for multichannel audio.
I cannot help you with your audio problem though.

I tried the crash recovery again and now the azid has completed, the multi channel is not that important, but the next problem I have encountered is with cce. It keeps giving me an unknown error, and stops in its tracks. Any thoughts? CCE starts fine but when it tries to execute it gives unknown errors.


The error that windows gave me was:

Vinfo open failed Could not open file
c:\Program files\DVDsSVCD\Movie\CCE_Video_Information_File.vaf

The System connot find the specified file
