I use the SVCD guide on afterdawn.com's website to make a SVCD back up of a long 2 hour and 24 min dvd i have. using the TMPGEnc 2.58.44.152, i got an error when it got to the third cd referring to the TooLame crashed according to my winXP error. TMPGEnc said it couldn't open the .mpa file it referred to for the third cd. the first two cd's went encoded fine with out a problem, but tried several times on the third cd and the TooLame crashes at same point every time. I've tried rebooting and even reinstalling the TooLame (deleteing the folder and reunzipping it) Do i need to redo any step of the process? If it matter's i'm running windoze XP, 512 meg of ram AMD duron 900, 80 gig HDD. can any one help me? need more info on it? let me know.
Sounds weird. Sounds like tooLame is trying to write the temp .mp2 file into a dir that doesn't exist or has a file with same name already (as you know, it's a separate software that TMPGEnc just uses for encoding and it most likely writes the encoded file into temp dir or something like that). Try to use Windows' Find files and search for *.mpa files and see if you see some crappy temp files somewhere and get rid of those and see if that helps. Just a thought
I tried that, found only ones in the Temp folder so i deleted them and ran it again and still stopp at the same place on TooLame. gonna try redoing the sound track thru the DVD2AVI and then try to encode it again. Oh well, it's my first time doing this, i knew things were going to smoothly to be perfect. thanx for the sugestion though
I got it to work after i made the new sound wav file. but i skip a few steps hopeing every thing will stay in sinc since the new wav was exact same size as the old one. hopefully the third cd will turn out a good and in sync as the first two. thanx again for the suggestion, just another step in the process of elimination.
