I've just encoded a divx 2 svcd, using the SVCD settings which come with DVD2SVCD bundle. The encoding took along time as the divx i was encoding is only 40 minutes in total length. I'm not sure to why this happened, maybe there is something wrong with the Divx i dont know.

One other thing, dvd2svcd did too many CQ tests, i believe 12 in total.

Here is the script;

Can someone help me please.

Thanks in advance

I see nothing that is a problem : time is not the most important thing. You have your movie at the end ? So everything is Okay

Note: you problem is a Divx related one. See last announcement of Kwag and check the new forum created today.

Thread closed there, but I can move it to the other forum if you really find you have a problem and look forward for a "solution".

Thx for the reply.

Is it normal to do 12 tests? i havent experienced that before? and each test was taking between 3-4 minutes. So 40 mins on testing cant be right can it?

Would be great to see the post Kwag made regarding Divx. Is it in latest scripts? or maybe u have a link plz?

I just checked the encode, and the sound has cut off towards the last 10-15 minutes, so i'm guessing its the divx file which has problem.

thx

Yes it is.
Let me tell you that "thanks" to the MA script, I discovered that D2S does 20 tests at most and then run on the encoding with the last CQ found, even if it is not the correct one.

Thanks for your help and confirmation Phil.
