hello, I ve just started with DVD2SVCD. I' m working with TMPGENC encoder. Using apart I success with this encoder (for ex to convert AVI (Divx) in MPEG2) to make SVCD with NERO. The pb is when I use DVD2SVCD, I got a black screen with TMPGenc but I can see the frames increase. I think there is a pb with the AVisynth interface. I check all the needing files but it isnt enough. I Check off DIRECT ... in the options of Tmpgenc. I think a DLL file is not in the folder it must be. Please help, I manage with DVDX but the video quality is not as good as i d like (and I want to use chapters and subtitles).

I f you are using multipass VBR you will not "see" the movie until the encode time reaches 50%. The first pass will not be displayed.

If it's quality you're aiming for, you should be using CCE anyhow. Not to mention it's faster ;)

thanks for your answer, but I tried with Constant bitrate (CQ) and it was the same issue. In fact, I did my trials with small chapter , about a couple of minutes, and went to the end of the process , ie burning a disc I just obtained dark screen with good audio. If I choose "don't delete files" and edit AVI file, i get an audio file I can encode with TMPG, It just don't know the Avs script file. I think I can execute programs one by one , but DVD2SVCD is made to avoid it ! after checking I find that I 've got two folders system in windows directory : system and system32. My Win is ME version, if i put the avisynth.dll file in the system32 (as i'm supposed to) DVD2SVCD fail with error : don t find avisynth.dll in Windows\system, so I remove it from system32 to system.

open up the divx file in virtual dub and check to see if there are some bad frames (unreadable frames...)...i think there is an option under video to check for them...this could be the problem.
