Download DVD2SVCD 1.2.2 build 2

Converting DVD to Super Video CD, or SVCD, is not an easy job. However, there is a program with the imaginative name DVD2SVCD that tries to change that. The program tries to make things as simple as possible. You just need to set how many CDs you want to convert to, which audio and subtitle channel to use and the program does the rest. DVD2SVCD uses programs like vStrip (to rip the DVD), DVD2AVI, Mpeg2dec, Avisynth and Cinema Craft Encoder. More information can here and here to be found. Recently version 1.2.2 build 2 of DVD2SVCD was released and the changelog shows what has changed in addition to a bug to be fixed in the next version:

† † 2004 version 1.2.2 build 3

• Bug fix: Well, the “Do not convert audio (use source audio)” didn’t work when doing AVI files with AC3 audio, funny thing is that it should have worked because that’s why I made it.

Aug 23, 2004 version 1.2.2 build 2

• New feature: I have added support for Nic’s QuEnc. Now DVD2SVCD can be run with freeware programs only if you want to . However QuEnc is still in it’s infantry and it is based on ffMPEG which have problems maintaing the Average bitrate when using VBR. Many promises has been made by the developer(s) of ffMPEG to fix this, but they never gets around to it, hint hint
• Bug fix: Using fixed chapters with screenwriter wasn’t too cool. The chapters were not sequential.
• Enhancement: If you’re converting AVI or DVB files you can select the audio language (instead of using unspecified)
• Bug fix: The SmartDeinterlace And Blendfields Interlace options are working again (Bach)
• Bug fix: The GOP Sizes is not locked when using DVDAuthor (Only screenwriter has this stupid limitation) (Bach)
• Bug fix: The CD Sizes in the frame selection window now matches those in the bitrate tab. (DDogg)
• Bug fix: When selecting “Keep interlaced” Anamorphic output wouldn’t work (alas the 16: 9 flag would not be set) when using CCE.
• Enhancement: Added support for Donald Grafts (neuron2) DVD2AVIdg version
• Bug fix: Quite a few AVI files didn’t work right with the internal audio extraction. (DDogg)
• Bug fix: Fixed the AVI resize calculations. (jsoto and nick)
• Bug fix: If a subtitle stream had an unspecified language the subs would be extracted completely black (bobwillis)
• Bug fix: When doing NTSC dvd2dvd with Scenarist the subtitles could sometimes overlap, causing scriptwriter to fail (bobwillis)
• Bug fix: If you had used MPEG5.1 audio output and then on a later encode switched to “Do not convert audio” the MPEG5.1 program would still be run and thus later on the muxer would fail. (Mascot28)
• Bug fix: The Bilinear avisynth script was wrong (addborder was missing) when doing a clean installation of dvd2svcd (DDogg)
• Bug fix: If you were using DirectShowSource as your AVI reader in avisynth, dvd2svcd could fail with a file not open if you had been in preview first. This was due to a minor bug in directshowsource.dll. Thanks to sh0dan for fixing this so fast
• Enhancement: You can now select “Do not convert audio” when doing AVI2x. But be aware that you’re on your own if you use it. If you get any errors during the process deselect “do not convert audio”[break]
