[Error Message] Cannot Create DVD2SVCD.INI

[woldise]

Im using tmpeg to encode, using CQ.
when i start the encoding process i keep getting this error message "Cannot Create DVD2SVCD.INI"
then i have to restart the process because dvd2svcd freezes up.
my roomate also uses dvd2svcd and he has gotten this same error message several times.

anyone have any ideas?

EFCreateError Cannot create file C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\DVD2SVCD.INI

:logfile: :script: :readrule:

[woldise]

sorry about that. theres my log file. and what script are u referring to?

[DDogg]

That's good for now. Great job. Well you can see the error is only in VCDXBuild so you should have good muxed mpgs in your working dir, correct? Can you play them ok in wmp?

I sent off a query to D2S about, "EFCreateError Cannot create file C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Movie\DVD2SVCD.INI". Let's see if he has a comment. I'll set up a TMPG CQ encode tonight to see if I can replicate your error. That's always the first step.

Oh, do me a favor and edit you script above. Please show the tmpg path as something a little different please.

[woldise]

alright. thanx for your help. preciate it. and i changed the path also. sorry bout that.

I think TMPGEnc made "nothing":

For me "nothing" is that 14 mb video file.
I suggest install TMPGenc in an folder that not contain that "." and wich is now "C:\Program Files\TMPGEnc.Plus\"
For example in "C:\Program Files\TMPGEnc Plus\"

well thats not the case, because it has worked before. and the 14mb file is because that was a test file to generate the log so i didnt waste 8 hours encoding.

[DDogg]

Did a CQ test last night and all finished with no problems except the second bin was too large. For this reason I recommend 2 pass VBR when using TMPG.

[woldise]

something must be conflicting with dvd2svcd because i tried using cce and i got the same error. then i tried agian after restarting and killing all unnedded processes and i get this error "cannot create Avisynth.ini"


im stumped as to what the problem can be.

[DDogg]

Me to as it seems specific to your machine. Suggest reboot, deinstall, reboot, reinstall with bundled avisynth or newer from Sh0dans sig.
