Hello
I am a super newbie to SVCD conversion. I have backed up DVDs many times to Divx or Xvid copies, but never SVCD. This is my first time. I am using the newest version of DVD2SVCD and the SP 2.50 Demo version of CCE. I understand that to get rid of the logo i need to buy CCE, this is not what I am asking.
After I have completed the entire process error free, i check the video before burning. The picture quality is great. The only problem is that there are 9 little white squares that form a 3x3 big square. They Start in the upper left hand corner and begin to float around the video all over the picture.
I have checked all over this forum and have not found the same problem. Can someone help me here??? I also tried to use the Trial Version of TMPGEnc. It produced the same results. So I think that one of my settings must be messed up. I also did 2 different movies to make sure it wasn't just that DVD.
The only thing that i did not follow in the DVD2SVCD rules was: I had previously ripped both the DVDs using SmartRipper instead of the onboard DVD2SVCD ripper. Can this be the reason? I am going to check this option today, but any help anyone can provide would be really appreciated.
THANX

Hello
Due to lack of response I am assuming no one has heard fo this problem before?
I have tried another DVD, this time ripping with the built in DVD2SVCD ripper and using the demo of CCE SP 2.50, I still get the same results.....

anyone????

So hear is my solution......
I am an IDIOT!!!!!
I was previewing the bbMPEG_Muxed_File00 to see if the process worked. This is where i was seeing these stupid white squares on my screen...........
I was using Windows Media Player 9!!!!!
I tried to preview one this time and i used Power DVD, NO WHITE SQUARES!!!
It only happens if i use Windows Media Player!!!!.
I am an IDIOT!!

p.s. i was reading on this forum and saw a spot that describes a method to determine which codec was used to encode a movie, example Divx 3.11 or Divx 5.02, now i can't find the post, can someone direct me right way so i can find out how my files were encoded???
thanx

Here's (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45185&highlight=which+codec/) a thread in which Manono gave help on your topic. I entered a search using "which codec" as keywords and found this one third from the top. The search engine will bail you out of a lot of tight spots and is very forgiving as to the keywords used. If you can even get close to describing your problem you'll stand a good chance of finding someone that has had EXACTLY the same experience. Thank goodness!
