Ok, i have finally successfully created an svcd, or at least the .mpg file. I think alot of the problems i was having was a faulty install of cce. Now, the problem im running into is the unable to create the images. (i have always had this problem) Here is my vcxbuilder log.... --DEBUG: EEL sysid=[C:\video2\VCDXBU~1.XML] pubid=[(null)] --DEBUG: EEL sysid=[] pubid=[-//GNU//DTD VideoCD//EN] ++ WARN: initializing

In the mean time, i will continue testing some encodes to see if this is what is causing people so much trouble with encoding with cce. To answer your questions... 1. no im not running raid. 2. I will run prime95 tonight and let it run to check my hardware. Here is the SVCD log, just incase you see someting i dont. Thanks
