Hi all! I'm growing frustrated here. Please help me in finding out what is it that i'm doing wrong. (see log file below) I've used the latest bundle of DVD2SVCD to process a DVD rip from a R1 DVD. To encode i use TMPGEnc. Everything goes perfectly until its very end. But after burning the bin files (with latest Nero) and putting the vcd on my standalone, the picture jerks every second and lags after the perfect audio. Image quality is ok, sound is perfect. Only the picture jerks. I've followed the instructions found on dvd2svcd.doom9.org to all points. I've burnt the vcd in 4x speed. I've burnt the vcd in two different cdr-drives, still get the same effect. I've tested the vcd in three different standalones and my pc dvd, the picture jerks. When i play the muxed-mpg file on win media player the picture is perfect. Until now, I've ripped and processed DVD's using Smartripper, DVD2AVI and TMPGEnc each separately and i've got a working result. However, i changed to DVD2SVCD as i promised a better image quality. It indeed does, but the jerky pic is the obstacle now... Any help, any hint, any advice -- all would be very much appreciated. thanks in advance! P.S. I've also used the instructions give at: http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/a...d_with_subs.cfm ------- -------------------------------------------------------- - 9/27/02 9:32:42 PM - DVD to SVCD Conversion - DVD2VCD ver. 1.0.9 build 3 -------------------------------------------------------- Initializing Initializing finished. -------------------------------------------------------- - 9/27/02 9:32:54 PM - Free on drive C: 15144.81 mb - Internal rip -------------------------------------------------------- Preparing vobfiles to be ripped: - D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_1.vob - D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_2.vob - D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_3.vob - D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_4.vob - D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_5.vob Ripping: D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_1.vob Ripping: D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_2.vob Ripping: D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_3.vob Ripping: D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_4.vob Ripping: D:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_04_5.vob Ripping finished.

the default program for building SVCD images is VCDXbuild. If you say that the muxed MPEG plays fine, then is it possible that the problem occurs when creating the SVCD image using VCDImager ?? Also, just a suggestion.. download Daemon-Tools to create a virtual DVD rom on your pc, and using this very great tool, you can mount the .bin/.cue image into a virtual DVD drive, and test the image without having to waste CD's in order to find out if the image is any good. If you get the jerky playback using Daemon-Tools, then you know its the image creation that is having the problem.. try changing back to VCDXbuild, maybe it will help.. Good Luck!
And congratulations to eetupoika for Afterdawn's (unofficially) longest post. With people like Sir Klingon around, I thought no one would ever do longer. Paul.
