This wouldn't happen to be the error your friend got would it:

Process aborted due to above error
Error code #5
There was an error in multiplexing the titles. One of the m2v files has 'end sequence codes' in it that must be removed in order for it to multiplex correctly. This could be caused by an mpeg joining program or something similar. Use restream to remove these 'end sequence codes'. (http://shh.sysh.de/restream.html) Please review the log for more detailed information.


If so then perhaps we need to look for a diffrent program. :-\

Thnx, guys. I sent this info to my friend and will see if any of it clicks.

gvamp, am I correct in assuming you've had trouble with the Ghidrah DVD as well?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Turn on 'split on new vob-id' in this step, or so I was told by someone at videohelp.com

If it doesn't work let me know and I will tell them.

Here's a list of things you might consider:

OVERSCAN BORDERS
Nearly all TVs have so called overscan borders (or "regions", I don't know the correct English translation). This basically means that you can't see the whole video, it's slightly cut at all 4 sides. The sizes of those regions vary depending on the TV, but it can be said generally that if the sides are just slighty cut off, it's because of the overscan borders.

DVD-PLAYER SCREEN SETTINGS
Your DVD-player can be set up to play DVDs in three different modes: First, there's "4:3 letterboxed" which means that you have a 4:3 TV and that the aspect ratio of the DVDs will not be changed. Second, there's "16:9" which means that you have a 16:9 TV and that the aspect ratio of the DVDs will not be changed. Third, there's "4:3 fullscreen" (sometimes called "4:3 pan & scan") which means that you have a 4:3 TV and that you don't like widescreen. This last option basically means that your DVD-player searches for additional information on your DVDs about how and whether pan & scan can be performed by the player "on the fly". It's important to note that without this additional information which must be contained on the DVD itself, most (if not all) players do not display widescreen movies as fullscreen, even if they're told to do so! Because most DVDs (GTTHM among them) do not contain this information, pan & scan can not be performed, that's why many people do not realize that their players are actually set to "4:3 fullscreen" and they're wondering why just a few of their DVDs are fullscreen, despite they're supposed to be widescreen.

MISSING 16:9 ANAMORPHIC FLAG
Video content on DVDs must be flagged as either "4:3" or "16:9" (anamorphic) in order to let the DVD-player know how to handle them correctly. If anamorphic video (like GTTHM) is not correctly flagged, it does not play correctly on 4:3 TVs. How does it look? The video appears to be stretched vertically and the black bars of widescreen films seem to be a lot smaller than they're supposed to be. On first glance it looks like the sides of the video are cut off and that one can see only a part of the image, but in fact the whole image is displayed, however vertically stretched.

Maybe this can help you in order to find out where the problem is. About the freezing and/or artifacting at the end: This often happens with badly manufactured DVD-Rs. Perhaps you might try to burn it to another DVD-R and test it again. As far as I can say from my own experience, the best way to avoid those problems is: First, always use high quality DVD-Rs and avoid cheap "no-names". Second, don't overburn DVD-Rs. Third, don't burn them faster than they're supposed to be burned.

Can we put requests here? If not, ignore what I'm about to say...

I have all of the original Ultra Q R2 Discs and I love them, but have no idea what the cast is saying. I'd love to see some subs for these, although I completely understand that this is a VERY tall order.

When I did it I got two VOB files I just chose the first one and it worked. However I didn't watch my mine all the way through because of some encoding errors so I don't know if the subbs shut off 1/2 through the movie or not.
