Any CCE users, help needed.

CCE version 250.01.00

heres the simple avs file (which worked fine yesterday)
now won't accept any avs at all???

loadplugin("c:\dvd\mpeg2dec.dll")
v=mpeg2source("C:\TEMP\HERO\HERO.d2v")
a=wavsource("C:\TEMP\HERO\HERO.wav")
audiodub(v,a)
bicubicresize(480,576)


Also with a dvd I am doing, some of the episodes on it are fine but two turn out jerky whatever I seem to do even though they are all meant to be the same structure, picture type etc. I encoded with tmpgenc and cce (not too sure about video settings) and both times the svcd has had jerky, stuttering video and audio. Sort of backwards and forwards motion.

The audio is fine until muxxed or encoded to the video. I can do a vcd but no Mpeg 2.

I read the guides and they said that if the Picture structure is frame based then check progressive frames but the source is interlaced, even though it is frame based???

this is from bitrate viewer

Pic. structure: Frame
Field topfirst: Yes
DCT type: Field
Quantscale: Nonlinear
Scan type: ZigZag
Frame type: Interlaced

so which is it really progressive or interlaced (pal dvd source)?

that may be the cause, i don't know. but in tmpgenc i encoded interlace and non interlace, same result.

i have tried both field orders too... :confused:

It's driving me nuts so if anyone can help, then thanx. If anyone can shed some light onto the settings for video in CCE as I didn't understand the guide on the subject. The example I shown seems to be both! Then again I am a CCE newbie. :o

Thanx a lot :D

For the first problem, try opening the AVS with VirtualDub or the Microsoft Media Player. They will echo any AVISynth error messages that pop up. CCE often just bombs when it gets them

Thanks you two guys.

1 the avs file did open in WMP, it was slightly jerky but pretty much OK. So CCE must be at fault!

2 Thanks for the graph, so the source is still interlace then?

Its just that the guide says if pic structure is so and so then source is etc Quote :

"The 4 parameters at the bottom are important. As you can see the Picture structure is frame which means the content is
frame based rather than Field based, so you would check Progressive frames in CCE. The DCT type: Frame also points to this.
If the content were interlaced the DCT type would by Field instead."

Confusing as Pic Structure was frame but still is interlaced :confused: hehe

I will keep plugging away and let you know.

Thanks so far:D

I had some problems loading some *.avs files into CCE 2.5 but solved this by always adding the line ResampleAudio(44100) to the end of the *.avs file, no matter whether audio is even mentioned in it. This is supposed to be necessary for Athlon processors but I have a Pentium 3 (for shame, for shame) and it is still necessary. If I don't add it, CCE crashes.

Well I'm having the same problem.

But I also have the Audio line in there. Below is what is in my avs file.

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\Avisynthv105\MPEG2DEC.DLL")
mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\Lord\lord.d2v")
BicubicResize(720,480)
ResampleAudio(44100)

when I try to load it in CCE it say that it's not an ECL file.

Hmm, when you get the Message "no valid ecl file", do you load the .avs over the open folder in cce? this is only for load saved cce projects (.ecl), not for load video files (.avs/.avi) ... you have to go to the project window and press the right button to load the .avs file

[Dirkbox]

Thank You SOO Much.

That was it. It didn't say that in any guides though.

Once again taks alot.

OK I seem to be making some progress at last...
This is a new avs I did :

loadplugin("c:\dvd\mpeg2dec.dll")
v=mpeg2source("C:\TEMP\CITY_OF\CITY_OF.d2v")
a=wavsource("C:\TEMP\CITY_OF\CITY_OF AC3 T01 2_0ch 192Kbps 48KHz.wav")
audiodub(v,a)
bicubicresize(480,576)

Now while it is nearly identical to the previous one it works fine! I think the problem was that you have to have a valid .wav (not mp2) file to point to, even if you are not doing the audio in CCE and make sure all the filenames and locations are EXACT otherwise it crashes.

PS I never enter line to resample audio, but if it works for you great, keep it up :cool:
