Quote:--Very Important: There is a bug in one of the programs used in DVD2SVCD that limits what you can have as a directory name. Do not use anything, but letters. No numbers or special characters. This will cause one of the programs to fail and you will need to start over again from the beginning.--
I don't know if you or the author knows what this bug is, but I know what it is. Simply put, DVDauth creates an XML file to point the next programs in teh right direction -- essentially, it's a shortcut. Now the thing about .xml files is that they have been designed to be universally accepted throughout the world. So, they HAVE to be encoded in Unicode.
If you open DVDauth.xml with Notepad and hit the Save As... option, you'll see that at the bottom it says ANSI, most of the time. It needs to be saved to UTF-8.
Unfortunately the program creates a new files just before it has to use it, so I've used the old file, saved it as UTF-8, and DVDauth just overwrites it with its ongoing file, non-UTF-8.
Is there a way to forward this to the author of the app? maybe he can correct this (it might just be a parameter to pass while the demux and measurement are happening in command line).
Thanks for the great program!
