Hmm.
Not a familiar problem.

Go into your movie output folder and find the files
D2SRoBa.avs
Avisynth_script_file.avs
Right-click on them and choose Open With.
Then select Windows Media Player as the application.

What do you see? Pictures (no matter if jerky) or red text on black background?

[Pro.Killer]

i already enoded the movie without the plugin..

but ill tell you whats weird: i have found out that i get the "send" or "dont send" messgae without D2SRoBa too.. but eithout it CCE keeps on working any way! why with it it doesn't?

i guess the problem is with cce... what can i do with it?

[Nick]

I would try deinstalling then reinstalling CCE.

Oh and check your PM's please.

Cheers
Nick

I had a similar problem and I solved selecting "no color conversion" under the encoder options. I never got any problems since then, by the way...

[Pro.Killer]

can it effect the results?

[DDogg]

I solved selecting "no color conversion" Just a quick warning about this. I would be very careful doing this if using CCE. CCE must have YUV to be most efficient. By selecting no color conversion you are forcing the use of some external codec like DIVX or XVID as a yuv converter, IIRC. It will work, but I can't image it being better than the avisynth ConverttoYUY2() command which is what is normally used. Certainly it will not work for many folks who have not installed other codecs. I think I remember it caused some color shift problems at one time, but that may have just been an odd occurrence.

[Pro.Killer]

in the meantime i have coverted one movie with the "no color conversion" and the program worked perfectly...without any color problems

but its only one movie so i dont want to take any chanses,
if you know any other way to solve this problem plz tell me
