Problem at starting up The Filmmachine 1.3

[wimkamp]

Strange.
Installed the Filmmachine 1.3 , and the program started up a few times.
The program started up a few times more, now it does'nt any longer, this is a problem that occures both before installing SP2 and after (WinXP Pro, Norwegian)

I atteched the file generated by Windows, for those people that understand that kind of information :-)

Is this a bug??

Thanks
Wim

Maybe you better can install the latest beta version, get it here.

OK, I'll try the beta.
But after being lucky to start the program up, I tried to make a DVD of to avi's, with subtitles. Al seemed to go well, and after some time Canopus started to do it's work. That would take about 3,5-4 hours, but after about half an hour I got back to my PC, and Canopus had stopped and was gone, leaving me with a result in C:\Programfiler\The FilmMachine\Output\DVD of one file: VTS_01_0.VOB with a size of 56 KB.

What is going wrong?
I have attached the log-file

I see nothing strange in the log file, maybe you can try it with CCE. If that works than maybe there is something wrong with the implementation of Canopus Procoder 2. I don't think so because nobody has complained about it yet.

Many problems occurred a time ago...Here an overview of some testing scenario's I used...Yes, still happy (AVI/DIVX {incl. adding subs} >> DVD).
The best way is to start with a clean machine namely (See my test scenario's);

--WindowsXP PRO with SP1--
Installed the needed codecs
Installed CCE
Installed TFM (Used 1.3)
DON'T INSTALL OTHER CODECS!
***WORKING***

--WindowsXP PRO with SP1--
Installed the needed codecs
Installed CCE
Installed SP2
Installed TFM (Used 1.3)
DON'T INSTALL OTHER CODECS!
***WORKING***

--WindowsXP PRO with SP1--
Installed the needed codecs
Installed CCE
Installed TFM (Used 1.3)
Installed SP2
DON'T INSTALL OTHER CODECS!
***FAILED***

--WindowsXP PRO with SP1--
Installed the needed codecs
Installed CCE
Installed TFM (Used 1.3)
Installed other Codecs!
***FAILED***

--WindowsXP PRO with SP1--
Installed the needed codecs
Installed CCE
Installed SP2
Installed TFM (Used 1.3)
Installed other Codecs!
***FAILED***

With other codecs/software I mean: Update of Mediaplayer or installing ffdshow/autogk/bsplayer/

Above are my findings but maybe it will work on your machine!
