View Full Version : AutoIt problems under WinXP

I've tried two different AutoIt scripts for DVD2SVCD -- d2sroba and mini dvd auth (0.22) -- and neither of them work. I think it's a problem with AutoIt because at no point does any program control my keyboard or mouse, or anything like that. D2SRoba stops right after CCE encodes the video (finishes encoding, but doesn't return to DVD2SVCD), and MiniDVDAuth doesn't create images or the Root folder. I installed AutoIt and tested the sample scripts, and those worked fine. I'm running Windows XP SP1 at 1024x768. Any ideas?

I'm using autoit 2.64 and WinXP Pro. It works fine to me.
Please post your log file "mdvdauth_log.txt". May be there will be some useful information...
And, a very simple thing. Does mdvdauth.ini exists in your mdvdauth folder? The zip file distributes mdvdauth_cd.ini and mdvdauth_dvd.ini, but these are examples. You have to create your own mdvdauth.ini, it MUST exist.

Sorry -- just formatted. Doing speed tests between Windows 2003 and WinXP, so I don't have the log.
mdvdauth.ini does not exist, I remember that. I renamed the mdvdauth_cd.ini to mdvdauth.ini, and I think I tried that and it didn't work. I'll do a small test right now and post the results soon.

Ok, I looked at that log. For some reason, DVD2SVCD named the post-pulldown video Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC_FS1.mpv, and MiniDVD Authoring looked for Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv. After renaming it it worked perfectly. Any idea how to fix this?
Oh, I'm using a Minitek 1600 ($48 at Best Buy), and it plays MiniDVD beautifully.

DVD2SVCD adds a "_FS1" when you use frameselection.

Sorry, I did not take it into account, and I really do not use frameselection

@MictXP
mdvdauth looks for "FinalMPVName" in "Filenames" section in
"dvd2svcd project file.d2s" file
But seems it isn't the final one. There is another variable called "MPVFileName". Could you check its value?

It is easy with autoit to check if any of the two files exist, but I prefer to know which one should be the right one..

I have done a reference to this thread: sorry, it is not easy to manage frame selection in mdvdauth.
