View Full Version : Does QuEnc conflict with DVDShrink?

I'm using DVD2DVD with the QuEnc encoder to reduce HDTV streams to DVD resolution and it works great except that QuEnc begins to have issues whenever i install DVDShrink which i'm using to fit multiple episodes onto a single DVD.

The first time i encountered a problem it was that DVD2DVD couldn't launch QuEnc (BETA2) but i could launch it manually. After uninstalling DVDShrink it worked without a problem.

I reinstalled DVDShrink and upgraded QuEnc to BETA3 and launches without a problem but it's been crashing at the end of the first pass with 1 second to go.

The Windows error log shows: "Faulting application quenc.exe, version 0.5.9.3, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.2180, fault address 0x00010c3f."

When i uninstalled DVDShrink it works again.

Strangely though it worked flawlessly on a small sample (50MB as opposed the 3.5GB of a full episode) despite DVDShrink being installed.

I will point out that the computer has been running constantly for 5 days as i had a lot of episodes to convert. When the current encode is finished i'll give a reboot and do some more testing except that it takes 3 hours to do the first pass it'll take a while.

Is there any known issue between the two programs or any speculative ideas on why this is occurring?

Edit: Reinstalled dvdshrink and gave it a reboot and it seems to have settled down. It must have been a the windows installer getting the system in a twist.

I have both Quenc for use with DVD Rebuider and Shrink on the same system.

I haven't tried the latest beta though.

Thanks.

I expect that it was just a one off occurance due to the machine not being rebooted after installing DVD shrink.

The latest beta of QuEnc seems to work pretty well.
