Unable to write to d:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\dvd2svcd project file.d2s

Unfortunately, this error message is happening WAY too often (especially in the later versions of DVD2SVCD - I'm currently using 1.0.8 Build 1). Below is a a quick post of the log. This usually happens after CCE, but on a re-run (whether crash recovery or Ugh! Start again from scratch), it seems to happen mostly at the point shown below. I simply cannot finish a movie anymore. I did not have this many troubles on earlier versions. My limited experience tells me it is not a Hard Drive space issue (plenty as you can see), but maybe a file in use type error? I'm running a Northwood Pentium IV 2GHz. Could it be a timing issue because the programs load so quick? i.e. DVD2SVCD tries to write to the project file while it's allready being read (opened) by the next program in line? Any thoughts?
