howdy guys,

experiencing a strange problem here for the first time:
i've encoded jurassic park III (pal) with 2-pass-vbr to two disks. everything went alrighty until i slipped the first disk into my standalone (cat921): the movie didn't start at 00:00, but at 28:00, no chapter switching allowed and all. svcds usually work fine with my standalone, so there. powerdvd plays it from the beginning. the second disk of that rip works fine in both. what's this all about?

thanx.

No, there is no answer, but there is how to ask. ;)

If you were a good "first time poster" and you have done (some of) the above - then you qualify for starting your first post - go for it! - BUT - don't destroy the impression of being a good "first timer" by posting something like: "dvd2svcd does not work - what have I done wrong?" - You know, this is like saying to the doctor: "I feel ill - please help me!"

We will do our very best to try to help you but we can't do that if you don't give some detailed information concerning your problem(s). Otherwise it's like "reading tea leaves" or like "consulting the good old crystal ball". It leads to nothing but a couple of posts like: "What OS are you using?", "How are your system specs?" and so further and so on. This will only fill up the forum with unnecessary posts we all have to read and read and read and ... (to be continued endlessly).

This can be avoided by supplying these informations right with your first post. The most important files and informations to post are the following (try to decide what applies to your problem):

- tell us something about your system (OS, CPU, memory, harddrive, ...)
- let us know something about the DVD you try to convert (PAL/NTSC, aspect ratio, region code, ...)
- paste the "dvd2svcd_log.txt" file to your post because it contains nearly all necessary data to see what went wrong or at least it will give us a hint on how to track down the problem(s).
- also paste the "Avisynth_Script_file.avs" to your post (open with notepad) if something is wrong with the "MPG" files

And last but not least, be gentle and you will treated gentle - so you will sure have a nice time here.
