smartripper's d2v file, and cee?

[dvd_maniac]

I am trying to import an avs file into cce 2.50 and it gives me the unsupported frame size 748x56, supported fram size is up to 720x576.
This happens everytime I try to use the d2v file created by smartripper... Is this just not possible? as I would like to be able to do this in as little steps possible?

AFAIK, Smartripper makes .d2v file, which is not compatible with MPEG2DEC.DLL, so after you have demuxed your .m2v file from DVD, use DVD2AVI to it - you will get correct .d2v for Avisynth and MPEG2DEC.DLL.

if you are getting a frame of that size, open up the avs in virtualdub and see what the error is.

Enf...

It did not work for me, i get the frame size 748x56, cce supports up to 720x576 error... I must be doing something wrong with dvd2avi settings. I use version 1.76+, with cce 2.50 sp. Can somebody give me a quick dvd2avi walkthrough? maybe I am missing something?

To dvd_maniac:

Does your .m2v file plays (key F5) normally in DVD2AVI? What info did you get about your video file there?
BTW, what is in your .AVS file? Is the path to the MPEG2DEC.DLL correct?

I am doing this simply - open .m2v file by DVD2AVI, try to play it, look info about film content, if the source is NTSC, than stop playing, if DVD2AVI says > 95% film, set Forced Film flag, choose File -> Save project, and you will get new .d2v file for your .m2v video.

but what do i do with ntsc videos? i can't use dvd2avi? how do i get them into cce?

[screw]

For NTSC you can use DVD2AVI as well. What I was saying in my previous mail - play video with DVD2AVI. If it says "Film">95%, most likely this NTSC video is made from film source (23.976 FPS) using telecine to 29.97 FPS. Than it is better to set "Forced film" flag on in DVD2AVI and than in saved .d2v file framerate will be set to 23.976 and frame positions recalculated to this rate. Now you can use CCE to reencode video, but afterwards use Pulldown.exe (separate utility) to get FPS back to 29.97.
It DVD2AVI reports NTSC source as interlaced, than do not set this flag, save project (now FPS in .d2v is 29.97) and encode video with FPS set to this value. That's it.
BTW, there is a nice tutorial about that on Doom's site:

Open the avs with media player and see....

I just upgraded my pc and installed a new copy of winXP Pro and after installing all applications again I get the frame size not supported error message whenever I try to load an avs script into cce sp 2.50
I also installed avisynth 2.52 and have mpeg2dec.dll and mpeg2dec3.dll in the c:\ root.
When I try using:

LoadPlugin("C:\.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\jack\jack.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)

It crashes and closes

When I try using:
LoadPlugin("C:\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\jack\jack.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)
It gives me: Frame Size 956x56 is not supported. Supported Frame Size is 720x576

Any ideas?

Why can't people just read the FAQ first? This question about the unsupported frame size has popped up several times here during the past few days although it is clearly answered in the CCE FAQ Q14.2.

"c:\.dll" is not a valid path and MPEG2DEC2.DLL is not an AVISynth 2.5 plugin (that would be the error message you'd see if you had followed the FAQ and opened the AVS in VDub/MediaPlayer). Also ResampleAudio() in AVISynth 2.08/2.5 can no longer be used to "fix" the CCE 2.50 crash. This is also answered in the FAQ, Q14.1.
