I posted this problem in the basic forum but with no response, I assume no one in the basic forum has my answer so i am now asking for a solution here.

I thought I had a Video problem of no picture but now I know there is a picture part, its just blank or black this was both on a standalone dvd player and my computer through powerdvd.

I encoded a SVCD from already decyripted vob files (CLADDVD), this time I encoded it from a DIVX movie and had the same problem. When I play back the SVCD it has sound but a black or blank picture rather than the movie. I have a P-4 1.7g, 80gig HHD, 64m gforce4, 512mb DDR running win 2k. I also have a standalone DVD player supporting several formats including SVCD.

At first glance it seemed that DVD2SVCD had not done the TMPGEnc conversion of the video but on a closer inspection I noticed a mpg file from the TMPGEnc conversion, so i played it in power DVD and found there was not picture before it was merged with the audio. I also checked that TMPGEnc encoded the video through the process of encoding.

I know that even if i reripp the DVD with DVD2SVCD, it will do the same thing can some help please. below is the dvd2svcd_log.txt file contents:
