cce doesnt begin encoding automatically when launched....

[kalashnikov]

i was using dvdrb with cce sp 2.67.00.27 and as it is not the trial i just pointed it to the cce executable when itlaunches cce to encode a window comes up for me to input the settings manually for each m2v file. i tried to use it with eclcce and it works but no matter how many passes i tell it to do it only does one. has this happened to anyone?

You have to use EclCCE with all trial versions.


I don't know why it would only do one pass, unless you have One Pass VBR activated on the Options->CCE menu in DVD-RB.

[kalashnikov]

but its not trial

[wmansir]

Sorry, I misread your post. I don't know why it wouldn't work with the full version without EclCCE. Still, using EclCCE with the full version shouldn't cause any problems and adds some functionality.

Could you post a job from the REBUILDER.ECL file here (you can open it in notepad)? You don't have to post the whole thing.

[kalashnikov]

i made a mistake it actually does work without eclcce but it only does one pass and doesnt do a .vaf file either

video_type=4 means multipass, and create_new_vaf=1 means it should create a new .vaf.

I loaded the .ecl in SP 2.66 (I don't have 2.67) and it loaded correctly and was set to multipass. So I don't know why it isn't working for you. If it's doing one pass .mpv creation it must be set to CBR or One Pass VBR for some reason.

[kalashnikov]

yea you are right it is set to one pass cbr. in 2.66 it works correctly for me too

I have the same problem, how did you resolved kalashikov?

I'm using CCE 2.67.00.27 , I must change version? with an old version?

Thanks.,.,.,

:confused:

:confused: Somebody please tell me they aren't changing the meaning of their parameters again???

[kalashnikov]

well if i change it for one segment of the dvd it works fine and all but when the next segment starts its one pass again i still haven't solved this for the guy who asked

[jdobbs]

If you create an ECL that calls for multiple passes with the new version and save it, what value does it use for the "video_type=" parameter?

[kalashnikov]

video_type=16

[jdobbs]

Yep, changed it again. Does anyone know what version is the first to do this? 2.67?

[kalashnikov]

2.67 is the first one to do this for me as 2.66 works fine

[jdobbs]

I'll put a version checking routine into the next version of RB so I can see which CCE is being used... I guess I'm going to have to change my code with every version of CCE that is released. These guys change the meaning of their parameters as often as I change my socks.
