Restarting DVD2SVCD operations

[plasmannc]

Due to a goof on my part I ran out of disk space during the muxing of a video. I used the D2Sroba plugin to DVD2SVCD and everything went well upto tht point. Got one of the bbmpeg muxed files which when checked ran well. The second file was ok but incomplete.I cleared out space on my drive so I have plenty of room for all the files still needed. Nothing related to this project has been deleted.

Since all my parts of the video are intact is there a way I can use DVD2SVCD to restart the process with multiplexing and then the VCDXbuild image creation?

Another question. At what point in the DVD2SVCD process can I delete the ripped files from the DVD that are on my hard disk?

Thanks ;)

hy plasmannc!
you can delete the ripped files from the DVD after the "video encode".
do you have the "Encoded_Video_CCE_NTSC.mpv" and/or "Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv"?(if your source is ntsc,don't know the right Encoded_xxx.mpv Pal's name)

I may be being thick (not unusual) but can you not just use the crash recover feature in the misc tab? ie misc tab > click recover > select muxing and cutting from the dropdown box > click continue.

Although IIRC, older versions of d2s/d2sRoBa would only recover as far as video encoding. If this is the case for you, open the dvd2svcd project file.d2s using notepad. (ot's in your movie output folder)

In the first line underneath [settings], set the project position to 93 then resave. Now try crash recovering.

very cool about "project positions" Nick. where i find the list of that positions and his numbers to use in recovers? (if exist that list.)
thanks in advance!

I don't have a list, I just recovered a finished project from muxing, then opened the project file during muxing to find the right number for plasmannc. You could always encode a test chapter and open the project file at each stage to make your own list but I don't have the time.

Cheers

great idea, very "smart" way. thank you!:D

I always use 64. This is the last stage, so you can recover from the one you want

magnific hint jsoto, clever cos not matter "where" you was in D2S, using 64 open all options in "recover". thank you! :D
