   DVD-to-SVCD need ASPI to support CD burning, if you get "ASPI error..." message, please restart your Windows and try again. Or update your ASPI driver to a newer version. (You can find the newest driver by searching "aspi32.exe" at any search engine such as Yahoo, Google. Sometimes maybe you need "forceaspi").
   
   Note: please install the above ASPI drivers (V4.60) only, don't use other versions; DVD-to-SVCD doesn't work with other versions!!!

Please use a DVD player (e.g. Power DVD, Win DVD) to play the Disc for 1 minute and try again!", this means your DVD drive is locked, so use a DVD player software(PowerDVD/WinDVD etc.) to open the DVD and the DVD drive will be unlocked. Then exit the player, start DVD-to-SVCD to backup the movie to VCD/SVCDs.
