Do you have easyvcd installed? If I am correct, if you try to create an image in vcdeasy, you will find your mpg has a bad packet. This is where I am at the moment. This old critter is a very frustrating one to flush out. Grrrrrr. Anyway, if you could try to create a cue/bin in vcdeasy, it would really be helpful. Right now we are trying to isolate (read: find) the common elements. I would think if everybody had this problem the board would be overflowing with messages about it. Right now you and I seem to be the only ones with the problem. Anybody else experiencing the "VCDXBuild failed to create a bin/cue file!" please add a me too in this thread so we will know if it is widespread or just specific to a few of us.

Well, seems you are trying to make a SVCD too big. Bitrate tab in D2S is with DVD settings. CDSize: 4480.00 Number of CDs: 1 Cut point 4475.00 Because you use SVCD bitrates, the encoder will be preset to max av, rate (2230) Min. bitrate: 300 Max. bitrate: 2530 Avg. Bitrate: 2230 And the result is only one CD (instead of 2), but too big to be managed by VCDXbuild (80 min= 360.000 sectors= 797,88 MB) ERROR: image too big (547252 sectors > 449850 sectors) EDIT: Try changing bitrate settings and (may be, not sure) a recover from muxing will work. That means: 1.- Recover (Misc tab) and select your d2s file. 2.- Change bitrate settings (Bitrate tab) 3.- Select muxing in recover from and continue (Misc tab) @DDogg: Sorry, but this seems not to be the problem you are trying to isolate. Personally I do not have the "bad mpeg packet" problem, I can't help you. jsoto

@RubixCube I do not know if I understand well what are you trying to do, but.. if you want to put in a DVD media some "svcd like" movies, I think there is not other option than to use a DVD authoring proccess. You can use D2S produced files, but the elementary streams (mp2, mpv), not the muxed (mpg) ones. The recommended SW to do this kind of authoring is TMPG_DVD_Author, see DVD/miniDVD forums Beware: SVCD format is not an officialy DVD supported resolution, but it has been stated that any SVCD capable settop is usually able to reproduce it. jsoto
