A huge update to the very popular freeware front end for encoding your DVDs to SVCD format has been released, with lots of new updates and bugfixes.

DVD2SVCD is a completely automated frontend for converting DVD, PVA and AVI files to SVCD. By completely automated, I mean, you just select the file or dvd you want converted and hit GO, everything else is taken care of by the frontend.

Changelog;DVD2SVCD 1.2.1 Build 1 :

Bug fix: In the former version, if you were using CCE you had to enabled "Add ResampleAudio" in the frameserver tab
Enhancement: AVI Files with Dual Audio is now supported
Bug Fix: Fixed an Aspect Ration problem when using ProCoder and CVD resizing
Bug Fix: Some movie queries on IMDB could fail with a Stringlist out of bounds

New Feature: If you use brackets around a parameter name in the avisynth script it means it can use all kinds of characters and signs

Bug fix: If a subtitle only had Command data and no Pixel data dvd2svcd would hang or exit with an Access Violation
Bug fix: The new Avisynth 2.5 had problems using DirectShowSource on a MPEG1 file, therefore the length of the VCD muxed files could fail which would result in a no go for vcdxbuilder
Change: When Using CCE's 1-pass-vbr dvd2svcd used to use the calculated bitrate as Max. Bitrate in CCE, but that has changed so that it's using dvd2svcd's Max. Bitrate from the bitrate tab
