newbie question about xvid encoding

[litlin]

I am using cce to convert an avi that is in xvid format to mpeg so I can author cd in maestro.

is this script below correct to load into cce?

LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
avisource("xvidmovie.avi")
YV12toYUY2()
ResampleAudio(44100)


when I am done, I load the m2v into maestro and it gives me a invalid framerate error.

Please help
Thanks

Well, you don't need the Loadplugin(...) line because you aren't using DVD (via .d2v) as your source.

Also, what are you trying to make (VCD,SVCD,DVDR)?

Open your .avs file in Vdub and go to file->file information and it will tell you a bunch of stuff about your video. You are most interested in the Framerate and resolution.

Since CCE didn't complain about your framerate it's probably 23.976fps and needs to be run thru pulldown before you can author it.

You also have to be sure your file has the correct resolution for the format your aiming for.

You also have to make sure your handling the audio correctly.

If your aiming for VCD/SVCD you might want to just use DVD2SVCD's AVI2SVCD functionality. Check out this guide for more info: http://www.dvdrhelp.com/forum/userguides/111846.php
