Encoding completed in 0 minutes?

[TheSeeker]

Ok, I have never seen this happen before tonite. I have been using this particular version of rebuilder for a couple movies (.56) and it has worked great. recntly i stopped my encode of Taken in the middle just to restart and i was going to play a game and come back to encoding. Now the next day when i go to resume i say yes to resume encoding and then cce opens and closes really fast and then the encoding finishes almost instantly. Now any movie that i try will do this. I have the option to include the mpeg2decdg.dll in my avs. i have checked all my paths to programs in setup menu and reinstalled everything. I am using 2.67.0.23 cce sp. I have no clue why this all of a sudden started happening but its quite maddening. Anyone else see this? Have a workaround?

EDIT: the movies all prepare fine but when i try to run one avs through wmp it will just instantly close wmp and do nothing. here is a sample of one of my avs scripts:

#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:01, CELLID:01
#------------------
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\RIP\D2VAVS\V01.D2V",idct=7)
trim(0,2457)
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\undot.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\deen.dll")
undot().deen()
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)

Just two hints:
- Once the volume letters on my system got scrambled for some unclear reason; so useful to check that your source path F:\RIP\... is working

- Not being able to play avs files indicates that Avisynth is not working in your system. Just to check Avisynth you may try to simplify at the maximum the script produced by DVD-RB and see if it plays right with WMP:

#------------------
# AVS File
# VOBID:01, CELLID:01
#------------------
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\RIP\D2VAVS\V01.D2V",idct=7)
trim(0,2457)
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)

No other ideas on this side...

I brought this Taken dvd in to my computer at work to try it out and the same thing is happening at the encode phase. I dont know what is going on here since I had successfully started to encode this movie but paused it. The avs scripts dont want to open at all in wmp here at work either.

I had a similar problem with CCE but it was on dvd2dvd, I changed the color conversion to none and it worked just fine, never tried color conversion to RGB but it may work as well.

I simplified the avs script to just the mpeg2 source line the trim line and the convertoyuy2 line and still it does not open in wmp. I dont know what I am doing wrong? One day rebuilder up and decides to not work for me at all. I have tried on different machines. I have tried brand new installs for every program involved. I tried DVDRB .55b, i tried a different movie and this still happened. I just dont get what is different from what i was doing before. This was never ever a problem before. I mean i just did the first Taken disc so i know its not the movie. The second disc cant be that different.... this is extremely puzzling to me. OH and i did examine the .d2v file and it is all 2's. not too sure it that is correct or not.

@wmansir, ddogg, jdobbs, anyone have any clue where to begin troubleshooting this problem?

[wmansir]

Sounds like something is wrong with AviSynth, try reinstalling it.

[Rockas]

have you tried one of the other encoders?
just a test man... you're problem may be on CCE.

@Wmansir

You were right. For some reason my setup didnt like avisynth 2.54 anymore. When i downloaded and installed the newest 2.55 beta2 it all seems to work fine. Thanks.
