Good day to you all. For the last 2 weeks, I have had various problems with converting a DVD to an SVCD. The first problem involved errors with constructing the cue/bin files (if it happens again, I will post the log since I re-downloaded everything from scratch. The second problem(see log below involved the faiure of BeSweet to execute.First, the basics...I'm using:

DVD2SVCD ver. 1.2.2 build 3
D2S RoBa

I did verify the Audio tab as well: looks good according to the SVCD Guide. Please help as I have read threads and tried things until my eyes are now ready to pop out of my head :(

Firstly could you please verify that this file exists and the path to it is correct.

If it is present and correct then I can't see why it didn't execute. You haven't edited or altered this batch file at all, have you?

[Jermeister]

BeSweetLater.bat is in fact present as an MSDos Batch file in the correct path you highlighted below. I haven't altered it. Any further suggestions? (Thanks for taking the time and effort to try to help me :)

[Nick]

:confused:

Only to uncheck "Audio Encoding after video", restore the path to the BeSweet executable in DVD2SVCD and try it again with RoBa but doing audio first.

As for why it failed I really can't see, I'm afraid :(
