FOLLOWUP: I was able to get things working by first muxing the m2v and ac3 files using ImagoMPEG-Muxer. Then I pull the resulting mpg files in and add the srt files. Now it's outputing correctly with all the video, audio, and subtitle content. I burned the DVD and tested it and everything was good. So the problem must be related to the differences between a single mpg file and the separate m2v and ac3 files.
Separate question: Whenever I use srt files created using CCExtractor 0.53 I get the following error message when building the DVD directory in AVStoDVD: --------------------------- Illegal characters encountered! --------------------------- Subtitle contains illegal characters, e.g. non closing brackets <. Please fix before continuing! --------------------------- OK --------------------------- I usually get it twice for each title I add to the project. I click OK to dismiss it, and the end result appears to be working fine despite the error messages. Do I need to convert the srt format to something else? What problems could result from illegal characters? I could attach a sample srt file if that would be helpful. |

Muxman accepts subs in 2 different format: IfoEdit (.sup) or Scenarist (.sst). When you have a SubRip Text (.srt) format, AVStoDVD converts it to .sup and then author it. You can do that step manually using SubtitlesCreator, a sw that comes with AVStoDVD package. Be careful to setup the screen layout (font, size, position). If your srt file has problems, then SubtitlesCreator should inform you about that.
If CCExtractor supports IfoEdit (sup) output format, you should use that option instead to convert them to srt. What happens if you feed the m2v+ac3 (not muxed) to AVStoDVD without the srt? Bye |

Conversely when I tried the already muxed mpg files, I added the srt files as well - after all removing them hadn't helped before, so I might as well include them. Sure enough the vob files came out correctly and even included the subtitles correctly. Whatever is causing the error when converting the srt files, the program seems to be compensating for it in a way that doesn't hinder muxman at all. I'd just like to know more specifically what's going on, and be able to eliminate the error messages, because they halt the process until I click OK. I'm also worried that even though everything seems OK with the subtitles, that perhaps problems I haven't encountered yet, could show up eventually. BTW I want to thank you for creating such a useful, and easy to use program. |

@gizzin
deadzone quantization is from HCenc 0.24 beta only, and I have not yet added support to 0.24 beta. Anyway, if you want to use 0.24 you can and you can edit its command parameter by toggling on the 'Edit command parameters at runtime' advanced option. @QuadraQ Have you tried to analyse the srt file with SubtitlesCreator? Any errors report? Could you setup CCExtractor to output subtitles in sup format? One conversion is better than two.... Bye |

I have a suggestion, however if this option exists and I just can't find it I do apologise.
As I had 12 smaller files in queue to make a DVD the other day I found that I could not edit the avisynth script and apply to all clips in DVD queue (only for that 1 DVD). I found your option to copy but that then meant I had to copy from clip1 to clip 2 clip 2 to clip 3 etc. An apply script to all files in queue would have been awesome. Or similar.

I don't know what's wrong...
Since switching to Windows 7 I never had luck encoding an mkv to DVD with avs2dvd. Tried out the new version... still... no luck. I always end up with choppy output. Sometimes it's just at the beginning of the movie and smooth after 10 minutes. Used HCEnc... forced QUenc... The movies are always choppy. Framerate of the mkv is 23.976. |

@veco
honestly I cannot understand where you are getting the error: from the screenshot and the log file, everything is ok. Are you worried by the "stop" icon? Do not mind, it only means that muxing step is not required. BTW, where did you get that avi? @flebber good suggestion, will put in ToDo list @katzenjoghurt directshow filter issue? Have you installed ffdshow? Bye |

I am having trouble with audio encoding. It aborts with error to review log. I am not understanding the log error.
Edit: I am trying again now with quenc as audio encoder instead of wavi and aften. 2nd Edit : Quenc was succcessful Quote:

But when encoded under Win7 with avs2dvd the result's always choppy. At least in the first 10minutes of the movie. It's much smoother afterwards... What might I have done wrong? |

@flebber
Audio is already DVD compliant (PCM 48kHz). AVStoDVD does not encode it, but it tries to demux audio (using FFMpeg). For some reason FFMpeg fails to demux audio and gives an error (while video demuxing process ends successfully). It makes no sense to me (in this situation) that QuEnc works instead Wavi+Aften do not, because none of them are used... Since FFmpeg fails to demux, I suggest you to set AVStoDVD to re-encode audio to AC3 (use 256 kbps if you want to preserve quality). @katzenjoghurt take a look at this thread about Tool for changing preferred DirectShow filters in Windows 7.

It's still choppy. By the way... should I install ffdshow 64bit AND 32bit? Only 32bit? Only 64bit? Last edited by katzenjoghurt; 17th January 2010 at 17:08. |

@katzenjoghurt
I'm running out of ideas (I do not have win7). Let's try again: 1. If your OS is xx bit you should install the ffdshow xx bit version. 2. Remove (temporarly) AVCcore. 3. Make sure you have installed Haali Media Splitter. Do any other win7+a2d users have same issues? Bye Bye |
