movies will not encode to DVD or SVCD.

[zeuss]

since some day now, i have troubles encoding movies.
Sometimes only the sound wil be encoded, and not the movie.
After i reinstalled, the encoding process (besweet) hangs after 7% (task manager says everything is still running, but nothing happens)

Could it be the fact the movies are in Xvid format? they play fine on WMP10

[The_Mask]

I have no clue, did you change something on you computer?

[VIPER_1069]

HAVE you changed your graphics card drivers !?

i had problems with updating my ATI CATALYST drivers everything hung when trying to encode avi to dvd /svcd using DVD2SVCD which also uses CCE for encoding .....i changed them back to previous versions and all worked fine again
