DVD2SVCD: longer films cause problems, results in two files
 

I have tried using the program with the kvcd 'templates' a couple of times and have had relatively good results on 90 min films. However longer films cause problems and result in 2 files. I have tried varying the file prediction between 0.95 and 0.98 but I still get 2 files. Any suggestions why would be greatfully recieved.

Below is the log from my last rip/encode
