"not scaled properly" error in BeSweet

[Ramsel]

I have a big problem with BeSweet: I´m using DVD2SVCD 1.0.9 build3 to convert DVD to SVCD.
Always, when BeSweet TRANSCODES the ac3Stream to MP2 it crashes with the error message: NOT SCALED PROPERLY
(see the picture of the error message attached to this thread).
I ripped the DVD with DVD2SVCDs internal routines.
I already tested besweet 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4b12.
Version 1.2 shows the error message above, it doesn´t crash, but the resultig MP2 Stream has intermissions of silence afterwards.
Version 1.3 shows the error message before CRASHING.
Version 1.4b12 crashes without an error message.
I have already tested it on two OS (Windows 2000 and XP) and with several DVDs.
Here is my DVD2SVCD logfile:

I didn´t find this problem described in any other thread so I´m really desperate,
PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanx a lot

sounds like you have a defective ac3 stream.
please use BeSweet v1.4 and post the logfile.

[Ramsel]

I don´t think the ac3 stream is defective, because I tested it on three different DVDs and it was all the same. Here is the logfile:

I tried it once again with version 1.4 but it was same problem.
BeSweet always stops after a few seconds of transcoding the ac3 stream to MP2. Here is the logfile:

Using MP2enc.dll v1.129 (23/5/2002), Engine 1.129 <http://www.cdex.n3.net>.wrong version. it should be :Using MP2enc.dll v1.129 (7/6/2002), Engine 1.129 <http://www.cdex.n3.net>.i see that you had downloaded the latest BeSweet package, so i can guess there's a spare "mp2enc.dll" file on your computer that BeSweet uses instead of the right one.
please search for all "mp2enc.dll" files on your computer and remove them.


btw

bt now, you should be able to transcode your file in one pass :-core( -input C:\Rips\Ring\Extracted_audio_1.ac3 -output C:\Rips\Ring\Encoded_audio_1.mp2 -logfile C:\Rips\Ring\Encoded_audio_1.log ) -azid( -L -3db -c normal -g 10.674dB ) -ssrc( --rate 44100 ) -2lame( -e -b 192 -m s )

I downloaded CDex 1.4 and used its MP2enc.dll for BeSweet 1.4 and
IT WORKS!!! You´re the best, thank you a lot!
