=== Logging / Tracking down errors ===

FairUse creats logs in the directory of the video output file.  The log has the same name as the project name.  If your project name is Nosferatu, then look for Nosferatu.log.  Below is the first few lines of a sample log file for your familiarity:

 10:29:31	512	FairUse Wizard 2.11b log file
 10:29:31	512	1 processor(s) detected
 10:29:31	512	Directory set to : C:\Program Files\FairUse Wizard 2\
 10:29:41	512	DvdCache::_PhysicalInit() : initialising physical dvd access

=== The DVD could not be converted error ===

There are multiple reasons for this error.  They will be broken down by each occurrence.

==== Initializing the compression _TranscodeProcess() The DVD could not be converted on the second pass ====

The first pass completes successfully, but the second pass fails on a 2-pass encoding using H.264.  The log indicates:

 14:00:09	1012	Using x264 codec : 2 pass, pass 2, speed 5
 14:00:09	1012	Opening the codec driver
 14:00:09	1012	Opening the codec driver OK
 14:00:09	1012	Initializing the compression
 14:04:16	512	_TranscodeProcess() : The DVD could not be converted

Solution: currently unresolved.
