CCE/DVD2SVCD Problem: Encodes Video To 30% Then Freezes

[YourLocalPimp69]

Hey Everyone,

I am trying to convert the divx file "Queen Of The Damned" to DVD using ChickenMan's Method. I follow it perfectly and it works fine until i get to encoding the video. The video encodes until it reaches 30% then freezes. I am running windows Xp and have done EVERYTHING said in the manual to burn Divx to DVD. I have attached the log from CCE below. Any help nedded. Thanks in advance.

PS Below the log from CCE i have attached the log from DivFix in case that helps at all.

Stopping part way through an encode is almost always due to a problem in the AVI. As DivFix has found many errors, it shows the avi is not in good health. DivFix is also know to miss errors and not always fix all it finds, it is falable ! DivXRepair is another alternative.

Also try loading the avi into VirtualDUB, in Video set compression to Xvid and set its bitrate a bit higher than what the original had. Set Audio to Full Processing mode also. Then Save AVI. This can take an hour or so, but generally (not always!) cleans up problem avi's.

Should point out that re-encoding the video with a lossy compression like that will reduce the quality.

In real terms the quality loss is so minimal its not of any concern and besides a 100% conversion (at say 99% quality) is darn more useful than one that gets to 30% only (at 100% quality). I know which way I'd go.

I just flipped through the file for the first time ans saw that at a point in the movie it was scrambled and weird. Will loading it into VirtualDub still help this?
