Only Sound when encoding with Dvd2Svcd.

[Van the man]

Hi!

When I try to make an Svcd with DVD2SVCD I only get the sound when its done,the filesize is correct.But there is no Video :(
Is there something im doing wrong? Do I need some codecs?
The source is Dvd with 5.1DD sound.
I have tried to play it with Powerdvd,Windvd and Wmp.
And also burned and tried on my Dvd.Still no luck.

Please help me guys :(

OK, let's try to check the origin of the problem. Do the MPG files play with PowerDVD or WMP?

If they don't, does the MPV play?

If it doesn't, does preview show you something?

If it does, load the AVS in VirtualDub and see if you find something strange.

You are doing a 5 pass encode, and your speed is 3.52, that's a monster system you have! ;)

They play in Powerdvd and WMP,but no Video only sound.

I can play the mpv in Powerdvd not WMP, but still no Video.

The preview.vob shows Video no sound.

the .mpv and .mpg loads fine in Virtualdub but I cant see any video/picture when moving the slider.

Not really ;) dunno why it goes so fast

This means the muxing has no video.

This means there is no video output from CCE, then not in muxing.
[quote]The preview.vob shows Video no sound.
By preview I meant the DVD2SVCD preview mode, in the conversion tab. You must read the guide and find it. It allows you to see stills. Please report if the stills show.

Load the AVS file in Virtualdub, not the MPV or MPG.

Yeah,it shows sample pictures when clicking on preview.

Yeah,I can see the picture now when moving the slider in VirtualDub.

So any ideas?

[r6d2]

OK, so we have narrowed the problem to be during or after CCE. Please use CCE and open the last encoded project. Go to the main file. Enter and select "Bit allocation" and move the slider to move though the VAF file.

Can you see the movie normally in the view window? Select show "Q" on the graph and see if it is all green (hopefully). Small grey spots are normal.

not sure what you mean,I opened the CCE and the Avisynth script file dummy and clicked on edit and then on settings,a new window came up and click edit.So I could move the slider,and I could see the film go through.

Can you see the movie normally in the view window? Select show "Q" on the graph and see if it is all green (hopefully). Small grey spots are normal.

Not sure where I can do that.In CCE? what shall I open?

Can it be my CCE that is the problem? what version do you use?

thx for helping me out matey

Well, time to read the CCE Manual. ;) But what you did is good. You're close. I just want to make sure the VAF is OK. So go ahead and read.

I use CCE 2.67, but 2.50 is similar AFAIK.

[Van the man]

Well, time to read the CCE Manual.
Can you tell me where it is? I have read all the questions and answers on this site.But vant find any help files with the DVD2SVCD prog :rolleyes:
hope i can ask about that :p

It should be in your programs menu (or in the CCE program folder). :o It is a PDF file.

If you ask what is a PDF file I'll shoot you with my remote laser beam. :D

If you did not obtain a legal working copy of CCE Trial or something, then we cannot help you.

The point is that if you see the VAF correctly, them the problem may be at muxing time (you have confirmed the muxed file does not play, and it should, provided you have the MPEG-2 codec installed).

But since your CCE encodes so fast, and your system is not the last box, I tend to think there is something wrong with that.

So to discard CCE problems get a working copy of TMPGEnc trial and repeat the encode (restart from scratch), a small chapter would do. I want to see if your D2S intall can produce a working SVCD or not.

I found the .pdf file but what shall I do with it? do I need a program?

LOL j/k
:D I've read through the file and I think I will try a new version of CCE :p

will post how it goes.

[Van the man]

cce encoding failed: Error: Video check-sum is different from that of previous pass.
Source video data or time code may be different.
Please check video tape or the information file.

---information---
Current: check sum=001221a1
Previous: check sum=000fb6b0

thats the information I got when I encoded with the new free trial version :rolleyes:

dunno whats happening here :eek:

[r6d2]

OK, time to do some more homework. Try reading the CCE FAQ in the CCE forum.

hmm.... so maybe my source is corrupted? dont think so :rolleyes:
I didnt get the error I got with the free trial version when I used the non-trial version.

do you have some more ideas?

really would like to make an svcd now :(

Did you actually read Q8 in the CCE FAQ? It doesn't really talk about source corruption, but about system stability...

Did you try TMPGEnc as suggested to test the integrity of your install?
