Hi,
this is mostly to DVD2SVCD... are you there? :p
Just a simple question that I don't know if I should post here or in another forum. The problem is that I'm experiencing playback freezing with my recently encoded SVCD's containing subtitles when using DVD2SVCD 1.1.0. Actually I did not experience such problems with 1.0.9b3, but since I like to cut my movies at scene changes, I was doing the muxing/cutting by hand.
Now the question: when you encode a movie with subs in two CD's, you must create two .sub files. Of course, the second .sub file corresponding to the second CD must have times referred to the origin of the second CD, so you must calculate *exactly* how long does the first CD lasts. Could you please tell me how you do that? Maybe this sounds stupid but... what's the simplest way to determine the exact length of a SVCD stream?

If I want to know the exact length I open the stream with TMPGEnc and start an conversion. Right after start you can see at the right top the number of frames TMPGEnc wants to encode. Write down this number and cancel TMPGEnc. After this you just divide the number of frames by the frames per second of your movie (with PAL always 25) and you have the exact duration in seconds.
