VCDXBuild fails 1.152mb into first bin file

[dog-god]

this is from Apocalypse Now redux
everything went fine till creating the bin and cue files but vcd seems to give up 1.52 mbs into the build ,i left it running 1/2 an hour the first time thinking it might have been the settings i choose for encoding it,which im just learning to play with
now nero although it dosent like the audio as i didnt downsample created an svcd no problems ,i did a search but didnt find this problem
ive done crash recovery 3 times ,on 2 of those deleting the 1.5 mb bin and cue the other leaving it where it was,to the byte it stops in the same place

ill apolige in advance if this is a studid error in my part
i should add i have almost 7 gigs free

[mrbass]

verify that you do have 7GB free. copy a couple of your mpg to another dir. In the past I've had windows screw up my actual size. scandisk and chkdsk should fix it though. Usually partition magic can detect any partition reporting errors.

If that's not it I don't have a clue. Your using 1.0.9 b1 I assume?

[markrb]

Are you running anything like Norton unerase?

Utilities like that take up room on the hard drive that is not reported, but refuse to give it up when it's needed.

If you need to Nero will burn them you just have to click on turn off compliance checker and continue.

Mark

[dog-god]

my luck is getting worse
no there is 7 gigs free(or was)a lot more now seeing as i broke the operating system again,
did a clean reinstall and saved the movie folder but cannot do a crash recovery
of course when i reinstalled i installed the latest version of nero 5.5.8.2 which will no longer burn a non complient svcd,either it reencodes or else tells you to kindly fu*ck off
beware keeping up with the latest release of apps,now maybe i missed something not unknown

so what else can i use to make the bin and cue files
is it possible to get vcdxbuild to do it by itself (write a batch file ??)

ps .just for fun i used vcd gear which only make vcd disks to burn 1 of the apocalypse mpeg files(svcd type) and see if it would show up on my sony standalone which wont play svcd,well while it didnt run properly 90%of the picture is visable,
alright not much good to anyone
pps,the delay in replying was due to a lack of an operating system not bad manners

[Arianos]

@dog-god:
You might want to try this (eventhough I think it's the least of your problems):
Copy the DVD2SVCD.INI from your movie folder and replace with it the one in the (fresh) DVD2SVCD program folder. This way you will be able to do a crash recovery. Otherwise the new instalment of dvd2svcd cannot properly see the half made encoding. (Sorry for my Non-Technical explanation). Tried it myself several times and it works.
Good luck!

[smiller667]

Use VCDeasy as a frontend to vcdimager/vcdxbuild ... it will do SVCDs if you tick the "SVCD" option - no need to write your own XML file then :).
It can also load your XML file (the one created by dvd2svcd, see your log: C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\VCDXBuild_Script_1.xml) & will build a cue/bin image from it (tools -> SVCD build/rip). Watch the log for error messages ...
Nero 5.5.8.2 is buggy indeed ... perhaps revert to 5.5.7.8. For anything SVCD-related use either CDRWin or cdrdao. The daemon tools methods (see FAQ/Q&A) would be another option if your burner is not supported by CDRWin or cdrdao.
