bbMPEG cutting Pulldown_Encoded_Video_NTSC.mpv short

Yoy MUST drop that Min bitrate. Drop it to the default of 300. Until you do this you will continue to have problems. Mark

Min bitrate to 300, still cut off 

Changed Min bitrate to 300 and ran again. bbMPEG_Muxed_File00.mpg is now 60 minutes long, should be 64 minutes. Close. Just for kicks, I used TMPGEnc, loading the dvd2svcd project file.d2s as the video and Encoded_audio_1.mp2 as audio. This created a full length SVCD, without chapters, but decent. What I am trying to do is to make backup copies of some kids animations for my little girl. She has learned to open the DVD case, and I don't want to loose one to scratches so am looking to make 'working copies' and archieve the originals. This problem exists on JJ Jet Plane and Winnie the Pooh - Most Grand Adventures. I tried Cinderella II yesterday and it worked fine (even though the Min bitrate was set to 1900, which I have now changed to 300 in my setup file). Log file from last attempt below. Still confused.

Before you go to nuts please try this. Play the original DVD in WinDVD or PowerDVD and see what the actual time is. Often times the IFO and the info on the box can be wrong and sometimes by a good bit. There is a chance you have the whole thing. Are you by any chance doing an Mpeg-1 VCD instead of an Mpeg-2 SVCD? That I can't tell from the log. Mark

The 'shortened' version I get is indeed truncated. The movie stops prior to the end, I even burned .bin/.cue to an RW just in case PowerDVD was going nuts. The end is cut off. I tried using TMPEnc 2.58.44.152 instead of CinimaCraft 2.5, everything else the same, using DVD2SVCD and both of the DVD's I am having issue's with came out full length. Confusing because CCE encoded video is full length when I play using PowerDVD. So... I am wondering if re-installing CCE might resolve this issue. I don't think the quality is as good with TMPGEnc. Perhaps it's my fault due to encoding settings.

Opps, to answer the second part of your question, I am doing Mpeg-2 SVCD.

OK, un-installed CCE and DVD2SVCD, re-booted, installed CCE, re-booted (for good measure?), re-installed DVD2SVCD. Same results. I guess now I will try to revert to an earlier version of DVD2SVCD and see if that resolves the issue, only because I have been using DVD2SVCD for quite a while now and never before had this issue.
