Besweet error

[Arathorn]

When I get to the besweet program part of dvd2svcd, it gets to the encoding part and then freezes...I have tried both the besweet that came with the new build of dvd2svcd and also getting the newer besweet and get the same result...any help or clues would be appreciated

many people get this error, it has to do with an AVI that had it's framerate adjusted to a non-standard rate. BeSweet is not able to readjust from non-standard framerates, you might have luck taking that part out of the command-line...that is, change this:
-ota( -g max -r 29970 29997 )
to this:
-ota( -g max )

it might work since the two values are pretty close. But for sure, this is a bug that needs to be worked out in DVD2SVCD because it seems to come up quite often. Though if people used the AVI2SVCD for it's original purpose rather than converting divx files, i'm sure this problem would not crop up nearly as often...

Thankyou for the suggestion as to what to try....sometimes there is no choice tho about divx...i wouldnt do divx if possible

@Arathorn
please post your BeSweet logfile.

I dont know what I did differently...but tried to do the conversion with the correct switches and it wouldnt work...but when I uninstalled dvd2svcd and reinstalled it, it works fine now. I guess I'm going to have to uninstall it and then reinstall it when I have problems.
