Hi all,
Great prog, used it 3 times without any problems and gotten great picture quality.
Here's one slight problem i have though, I had to pause the encoding process and had to reboot the computer, after starting DVDRB again and hitting encode it stated correctly that the last encode was paused and to click yes to start where it left of, but if i do click yes, the control window in DVDRB says encoded in 0 secs, but nothing gets done. How can I resume encoding where i left of properly?
Thanks in advance.

I've also tried to pause and restart DVD-RB, but have had no success. This is without rebooting--just abort, close it, open again, and transcode.

I _REALLY_ want a pause feature since I am using my only computer to transcode, and DVD-RB takes almost all processing power.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Yes. In order to resume you have to get out of "One-Click Mode" -- the pausing only lets you resume in the ENCODE phase (that's where almost all the time is spent). To resume just push the ENCODE button (under three click mode) and you'll be prompted.

Thanks in advance. Make sure you are pausing only when in the ENCODE phase. Doing it any other time doesn't really have any benefit (as they don't take much time).
