to julcat hahahahaha... when you become part of a release group like i am you can criticize me until then you can keep your mouth shut...
ok here is what i did... i had vob files that i had already previously ripped with smartripper so in the dvdtosvcd prog i disabled ripping... i loaded the ifo file with dvdtosvcd under the conversion tab and clicked go... it went through all the motions through all the steps that it goes through for about roughly 3 hours.. i came in to check on it and it said that it was complete.. so i went to look for the finished product which i assumed from reading was going to be bin/cue and nowhere on my hard drive can i find anything that this program did there was no mpeg file there was no bin/cue file etc... i am trying this prog to cut out some steps from my usual routine but i dont think its going to serve that pourpose

[chainsaw135]

Well your first problem is you ripped with "smartripper" Dvd2svcd dosent recommend anything but his internal ripper or vstrip, when you use a foreign ripper use at your own risk. Try ripping with interner ripper or vstrip.

Also post your dvd2svcd log file and your avisynth script file.

[napalmfuzz]

[smiller667]

G'day mate,

how about simply reading & doing what it says in the log?! Azid failed to execute. Please verify your Azid tab.Is it really there?

[napalmfuzz]

i dont know what the hell that means... please verify your azid tab...

[smiller667]

OK, let's go back to the log, then ... look at it again :). The error appears in the "audio conversion", thus it sounds logical to look in the "audio" tab of dvd2svcd, right? Check if the path is correct & whether the azid executable exists ...
If you need more detailed information, I suggest you look at doom9's excellent dvd2svcd guide with screenshots.
An alternative would be install a more recent version of dvd2svcd, the installer should setup all paths correctly.

[napalmfuzz]

ok i checked the audio tab and the path is correct to the file azid.exe

[napalmfuzz]

another thing... why does dvd2avi make bad video playback? there are lines through the video when motion happens

[Mozart]

your version of DVD2SVCD is pretty old. Update to the latest version before posting here. Also, have a look at forum rules.

[markrb]

Definately upgrade and try again, but with a different disc.
This one needs IVTC and the lines probably means it needs to be deinterlaced.
It's a pretty short video. I would definately try another disc that is a more common disc, at least until you get the hang of it.

To expand, install the >FULL< bundle of the latest version from the DVD2SVCD home page

[mrbass]

I am from now on going to use BlendFields for Deinterlacing (concert dvds, and specials like NBA, MLB, etc.) since it's only 10% slow down and it works as advertised.

[DDogg]

MB, try setting IVTC on (using the decomb.dll, not greedy) but change the script so that Telecine() is replaced with:

FieldDeinterlace()
Decimate(5) (if you wish)

I did this on a true interlace NTSC trailer and it worked well. Your opinion would be useful if you have the time.
