PLEASE HELP!!! Problem with AVI to DVD with CCE

[toros]

Hi !
I have a problem with putting my CCE m2v file in MAESTRO.
My AVI file is 640x272 resolution. When CCE finishes, m2v file is
the same resolution. When i put the m2v file in Maestro it says
INVALID PICTURE RESOLUTION FOR DVD and it’s not excepted.
I tried with DVDPatcher to fool Maestro to think resolution is DVD compliant.
The Doom9 walkthrough for DVDPatcher says to change horizontal size to 720 but not to change vertical size. That kind of the file is still not excepted.
Then i set the following parameters:

Bitrate – 3.5 MBit
Size horizontal: 720
Size vertical: 480

When i check SIZE VERTICAL 480, popup comes out and it says
CHANGING THE VERTICAL RESOLUTION COULD CREATE
UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS IN AUTHORUNG TOOLS.

But after going thru Pulldown.exe the file is excepted in Maestro.
And now when place the movie on the timeline the Maestro crashes.

How to force CCE to create 720x480 output out of 640x272 file???
If it’s not possible, how to make CCE m2v file compliant with Maestro???

Thanks.

i think you should resize your inputfile before feeding it to cce..
make an avisynth scriptfile that resizes your avi ,and feed this scriptfile to cce.

use the search function or the tutorials on doom9's site to guide you through this.

Thanks Nocturno.
I am truing now with AviSinth but when i load the script
in TMPGEnc popup says ACM FAILED TO SUGGEST A COMPATIBLE PCM FORMAT

Also CCE refuses to load the file.

What to do next???

Use avi2svcd.
Just resize to the format specs you want to go and then use the patcher..

use :
ResampleAudio(44100)

in your avisynth file to avoid crashes with cce 2.5 even if you have no audio.

i would recommend to do audio seperately anyway.. demux your audio in virtualdub and don't add it in your avisynth script.

tmpeg should work without the audio in avisynth (you can reload it in tmpeg anyway as a seperate audio file.. just don't use it in your avisynth script).
