Resulting file with CCE Basic 2.69 has wrong length

[soujir0u]

Hi, I'm using CCE Basic 2.69.01.04. Whenever I encode a file, the length always shows up as shorter than the source clip.

When I mux the clip with the audio though, the clip has the proper length however the video stalls while the audio continues to play.

If I use DVD2AVI to open the file, the length is correct!

I'm using Avisynth 2.5.4 to frameserve. Here is my script:

loadplugin("loadpluginex.dll")
loadplugin("convolution3d.dll")

mpeg2source("t.d2v")
telecide(order=1)

yv12toyuy2(interlaced=false)
convolution3d(preset="movieHQ")

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

How much shorter is it and what do you use to determine the final length? What version of DVD2AVI and Mpeg2Dec3 are you using?

If I use DVD2AVI to open the file, the length is correct!
Is that the original or encoded file?

Hi, I just encoded a 6 minutes 20 seconds file, and the resulting file shows up as 3 minutes 30 seconds when I play it with MPC or WinDVD. However, when it reaches 3 minutes 30 seconds it continues playing fine.

I'm using DPMPGDEC109 at the moment. If I open the resulting file with DGIndex and save it as a d2v and open it with an avs, the length is correct.

That's completely normal and to be expected. Raw MPEG2 streams (which CCE outputs) don't have a "length header" or something similar, so if you play it directly in some software player, the programs can just make an educated guess.

Ah ok. So if I mux them with audio to a VOB and burn it to a DVD, it should be fine?

Yes
