I've got a quesion about DIKO.

First of all, when I found this program a couple of days ago, I was amazed, it was exactly what I had been searching for! So thanks a lot, VMesquita!

I'm also able to transcode a DivX to an ISO image, so the basics of the program work for me. This is my setup:
DIKO 0.77
AviSynth 2.5.4 (came bundled)
CCE-SP 2.66 trial
SoftEncode trial

(relevant) Settings:
Path: everything works, tmp partition has 21gb free
Parameters: KDVD, PAL, CCE SP, Soft Encode
Authoring: Create DVD Image
Video: resolution: 704x675, everything default
Audio: downmix NOT on
subtitles: everything default (I don't use subs yet)

What I want to do, is put multiple DivX/Xvid movies on a single DVD with a menu to select which movie you want to watch. I want to preserve the 5.1 AC3 audio when it's there in the divx.
When the movie is the right framerate (25 fps) and the audio is already AC3 and 384kbps there are no errors.
However, when the movie has a different framerate (23.9 for exampe) DIKOGUI.EXE crashes with a MS error report. The audio is extracted and converted to wav files with BeSweet just fine (BeWseet does complain about missing ogg.dll, extracting OggDS0995.exe to the BeSweet dit fixes this). But then there's a line in the log.txt file which says: "Changing framerate with SoundStretch" and Diko crashes: "DIKOGUI.EXE has encountered a problem and needs to close."
Using soundstretch.exe manually with the -rate switch gives no error.
Using BeSweet with the -soundtouch() option also runs ok.

Replacing SoftEncode with the full version doesn't help. Reinstalling everything doesn't either.

This is my ini (http://www.ws37a.demon.nl/diko/Diko.ini)
And the logfile (http://www.ws37a.demon.nl/diko/log.txt) created.

Also, I've got some other questions about DIKO:
- The image file created by DIKO doesn't contain a menu, it's not there at all on the disc, not with PowerDVD, not in a standalone player.
- I would expect DIKO to clear up it's temp files when I select this option in the config. But it leaves mpv, ac3, wav file and author dir on the disk. This way I need to have a lot of free space on my disk to put 2 divx's with ac3 audio that needs to be transcoded on a dvd:
2x 6x 700mb wav
2x 2gb mpv
2x 250mb ac3
1x 5gb dvd iso image
1x 5gb dvd dir
total: 22.9GB

I hope some of you can help me with my problem.

There now is a thread about this on the new official DIKO forum: http://www.vmesquita.com/forum/index.php?topic=12.0
