from my mail notification:

"03 may 2004 version 1.2.2 build 1
- Bug fix: The "Calc. bitrate as max." checkbox in the video tab wasn't loaded from the inifiles.
- Bug fix: The "Use ReadAVS.dll" checkbox in the tmpgenc advanced settings tab wasn't saved/loaded from the inifiles. It was always unchecked.
- Bug fix: The "Azid gain offset" only supported numeric values (for instance 10db wouldn't be saved).
- New feature: I have added support for mplex + DVDAuthor + Spumux + MkIsoFs. That means you can make DVD's without Scenarist. Besides it's all freeware

and it's actually more flexible than using Scenarist because you can avoid making an image if you want to.
- Change: I have tried to simplify the ini file structure. In DVD2SVCD.INI file the folder and program files are stored. So is what output type you want and the DVDRip settings + a few non essential but internal settings. All other settings is stored in DVD.INI, SVCD.INI or VCD.INI. Which INI is depended on the Output type selected in the Misc. tab.
- Fix: The templates for the latest CCE versions is now working too (But it's only working for the CCE version you installed last).
- Fix: Once again I M D B has made my life miserable and changed the way the search was working. Fixed.
- Enhancement: You can now select between internal audio extraction using my own routines, or use windows VFW routines to extract the audio.
- Enhancement: LanczosResize has been added to the default AVISYNTH.INI file and is now the default Resizer in DVD output.
- Enhancement: In the AVISYNTH.INI file I have added a new entry called [global] where you can change what source readers you want to use (mpegsource, avisource, directshowsource and so on). Look in the AVISYNTH.INI file to see the entries.
- Bug fix: Some of the AVI handling has been changed, hopefully to the better.
- Bug fix: The AVISynth settings is now saved in the output folder too, that means that you can use various Avisynth settings in each batch movie.
- Bug fix: The Progressbar in dvd2svcd could be slow when CCE encoding all depending on the CCE version, which in turn could make dvd2svcd stop on small encodes.
- Bug fix: Although you could change to another PGCI in the chapter listing, the internal PGCI would not be updated before the conversion was started. That meant that you could select an audio track which wasn't actually in the selected PGC and dvd2svcd would stop after the audio extraction.
- Bug fix: Even very small subtitles with very few pixels would be converted. Needless to say that a small dot in the middle of the movie is annoying.
- Enhancement: Added support for Scenarist 3.0, but be warned. I have had reports from some of my beta testers that Subtitles might be getting out of sync progressively. I think this is something in SC3.0 because SC 2.7 works fine with the exact same settings.
- Enhancement: D2SRoBa is now bundled. If you use CCE I recommend using D2SRoba, very cool and superb quality (Thanks Tylo)! This makes DVD2DVD as fast as other "One click DVD backup solutions", except that the quality is better.

Cheers,
d2s "

thanks d2s!

Not sure if this is a bug in the program, but i thought i better mention this.

When i 1st installed D2S, and tried an encode, i get this at the beginning;

Code:

-------------------------------------------------------- 
- 01/07/2004 16:27:50 
- Free on drive D: 50902.58 mb 
- AUDIO Extraction 
-------------------------------------------------------- 
Undoing Nandubs 1152 BlockAlign value to 1 
Redoing Nandubs 1152 BlockAlign value 
Audio extraction finished. 

--------------------------------------------------------

I have asked Phil, and he doesnt recognise the nandub command above, and i was unable to do an encode because this message always appears on each encode, so i had to resort to the older version of d2s to do conversions. But i did install D2Roba, so i wonder if this uses Nandub? and if this is causing problem when just using d2s if d2roba is also installed.

because of the Nandub BlockAlign vaule, as stated above, d2s fails to make an mp2 file, so d2s fails at BBMpeg stage for me on every encode i have done with the new version of d2s.

well..i have 4 logs here and can't find anything about nandub but i only encode from dvds. it means that your source is avi or divx/xvid, right?

Nandub is perhaps a new things in d2s 1.2.2. I personnaly didn't even DLed it yet. The best thing to do is to go in Doom9 forum to ask directly to the developper of the programm.
