Scenarist Problems - Any Advice?

[KungFuCow]

I hate to keep posting with problems but maybe someone will point me in the right direction.

Ive tried 4 different movies (Chapters of, anyway) and the results are all the same. If I process subtitles, Scenarist crashes when importing. If I dont process subtitles, Scenarist crashes when building the DVD video (Actually almost immediatley when it starts).

I've uninstalled/reinstalled Scenarist and at this point I'm sort of out of ideas. Anyone else got any better ideas or anything I can do to help diagnose what's going on?

Thanks

When scenarist crashes, does it quit the program or does it just stop? If it just stops what errors do you have down left in the Build and/or the Import tabs?

If it simply quits, then maybe something is wrong with your scenarist installation.

It hard crashes, like application box pops up and says "Scenarist has experienced a fatal error and has to close. Please send report to Microsoft" blah blah.. the hard Windows crash type.

Far as my Scenarist installation being borked, I don't think so. I use it all the time for DVD2DVD-R and DoItFast4U/DoCCE4U and it works fine. However every movie I have tried with DVD2SVCD has crashed Scenarist.. both with subtitles and without, although subtitles crash Scenrist on input whereas without, Scenarist crashes when building the DVD video.

An update:

First, thanks to DVD2SVCD for all your help.

Okay, after upgrading to Avisynth 2.5.2 I managed to get Chicago to encode and load into Scenarist with subtitles. It proceeded to crash however when trying to build the DVD video with an error message about "bitrate being too high" and the culprit looked to be the DTS audio. So, I re-encoded without the DTS audio and everything went off without a hitch.

So.. I dont know if DTS audio is still a little buggy or if I should have done something different but nevertheless, I am very happy with the final product from DVD2SVCD.

Thanks for all your hard work. I'll be submitting a token of my appreciation within the hour.

These new releases with major new functions are always a little challenging. I think you can be sure of resolution so long as you comminicate the issues you face clearly. D2S has a deep dislike of bugs so he tends to swat them fairly quickly if he knows where to look. Re DTS, Just keep submitting those reports with the backup data.
