Error using DVD2SVCD with CCE

[promethian]

Hi ..first ever posting.. Ive had 5 days to wait so Ive had a good look round the forums but am unable to sort out the problem I'm having.

DVD2SVCD latest version build 1
CCE 2.66.1.7
CCCECL latest version 1.1a
Windows XP Home SP1 latest Updates
XP1900 on soltek drv5

I have used CCE to encode avi's manually and it completes ok.

When I use DVD2SVCD, I get a DVD2SVCD error at the beginning of the craft encoder stage "Is not a valid Integer" Also CCE outputs the error "The instruction at 0x0d235a1 ref memory at oxo594ba0. The memory could not be read"(this error seems to follow DVD2SVCD error)

I am using CCEECL to enable CCE to handle ecl's.

When CCE stage starts using avisynth as a frameserver the file is loaded correctly into CCE but none of the parameters are applied..??? i.e. VBR 3 pass and bit rates etc.

The ecl file outputted also seems to be default CBR confirming none of the parameters have been applied. video type is 0 but even if I edit this to 4(which I believe is vbr??) and apply to CCE it still says CBR??

My question is.. when and how are the ecl aparameters applied to CCE and why am I experiencing this error.

Here is last part of DVD2SVCD.log

According to the current dvd2svcd - readme file it will be supported in the next release. You have to be patient, but i think you will get what you want. :)
