Analyzing Video Takes Forever......

[menow]

After I have the dvd in the drive, and hit the CD-ROM button in the Conversion tab, the Information window opens saying "Analyzing Video, please wait....." the light on the dvd-rom is lit but this doesn't seem to end (over thirty minutes and it's still analyzing the video). Is there a way to do this? I'm trying to make a svcd out of Tell Me Something (Korean movie). Can I use another ripper to rip out the files and load the ifo into dvd2svcd? Which ripper do you guys recommend. thanks

Don't use any other ripper.
Do you have an aspi driver installed?
Also did you play the DVD in WinDVD or PowerDVD to unlock the drive first?

Also if you didn't next time use the search function.

I did play the movie with windvd, also i have the aspi driver installed already (since i was able to make 10 svcd's before this one without a problem).

First try switching to Vstrip and if that doesn't work try SmartRipper. Be aware that sometimes it does cause sync issues, but if Vstrip doesn't work then you don't really have a choice.

BTW are you using the latest version? A few versions ago there was an issue with this if I remember correctly.

I switched to Vstrip, the "Information" window pops up with the same message "Analyzing Video, please wait...." and this window won't go away. so I used smartripper but now when CCE 2.50 runs, it crashes right after the 2hr mark (twice). CCE never crashed on me before. Under smartripper, which ripping method do I choose (movie, file, backup), i chose movie the first time. also, do I need to enable stream processing also? Can I use DVDDecrypter to rip?

No try to avoid DVD Decrypter if at all possible. That can have serious problems with DVD2SVCD.

Try this instead.
First rip with SmartRipper into a temp directory using the normal program chain method that it should default to. Then start DVD2SVCD and keep DVD ripping checked. Select the IFO from the temp directory and have DVD2SVCD rip the already ripped files into a new place. After DVD2SVCD finishes you can delete the SmartRipper ripped files.

I had a problem like this a few months ago. I updated the firmware on my DVDROM and everything was fine after that. Check the manufacturers site for newer firmware.

i have backed up a couple dvds to svcd and this prog works great, but when finished i end up with "CD1.bin, & CD1.cue etc" how do i put an actual name to those files?
