CCE closed straight away when opening avisynth file ?

Does anyone know why CCE close straight away after I opened a avs file ? In my avs file, I used directshowsource to open a dv footage because avisynth gave me an error if I used avisource. The strange thing was I could open the avs file with virtualdub! The avisynth.dll version was 1.05. Did anyone got did problem before ?

Thank you for your advice, I managed to make it work now. I used directshowsource command that was why the audio was not included. I had to use ResampleAudio command to make dummy audio signal.

CCE is many times faster, but lacks in audio quality.
CCE does produce better video quality in my book.
Watch your encoded vid, youll see a watermark if you gots demo.

Slower please
I've a divx movie w/ mp3 sound and wrote the following .avs file like suggested in a Guide:

AVISource("D:\SVCD\WFW\WFW.avi").BilinearResize(480,576)

...to convert it to a PAL-SVCD.
But CCE closes when I try to open the .avs file.
When the .avs is opened in WMP, I can see the resized Video but no Sound is played.
Where's my mistake?

BuffDaddy: try to add ResampleAudio(44100) to your avs file. It may work for you. Your avs file should be:

AVISource("D:\SVCD\WFW\WFW.avi").BilinearResize(480,576)
ResampleAudio(44100)

@tai
thx a lot, now it works
Another question. My source avi is 640x352 (black borders cropped).
In the DVD2SVCD .avs File it says:

BiCubicResize(480,432,0.00,0.75)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)

Will I have to use this too to get the right aspect ratio when watching the SVCD?
Thx 4 your help

Use CCE SP 2.50

Hi paul2,

your mistake is to use CCE 2.62 ...
You have to use CCE 2.50 ... newer versions are not able to handle avisynth frameserver files ...

Research your script maybe

I am only learning here myslef, i am new to these scripts, but DVD2SVCD uses cce 2.5, and feeds it an avisynth script. i have it working on 2k, and XP! Maybe your script is wrong.

Post your script!

HTH,

I see your frustration! How big is the AVI?
Is it private? Can I try for you? Maybe its sys specific?
God knows, I work with computers for a living, and sometimes they can be proper bitches for no explainable reason!

Let me know,

thanks for your offer. yes itīs a private video, but the footage is more than 5 gig large, so it is impossible to send. by the way it is not my last project, so i need a resolution for myself.

thx
paul

ps
i found a resolution for my problem. installing the panasonic dv codec, exporting the file from premiere as normal avi file with the panasonic codec. this file is accepted by cce. fine.

paul2:
I knew that we can use another dv codec to make CCE work but when I tried Main concept dv codec it got more noise than using ms codec. May be - if you wouldn't mind - send me that panasonic codec so that I can try to see whether it's better than Main concept codec. Also if you want to use MS codec you can try the following trict, it worked for me.

- Encode video in CCE:
. use your orginal avs file:
DirectShowSource("E:\xxxxx.avi")
ResampleAudio(44100)
. use avisynth 1.05 or better (if available)

- Encode audio in Tmpegenc
. use avisynth 0.3 (this version produce sound, the 1.0 or upper does not produce sound if you use DirectShowsource command)

One more thing, I don't think you need to export the file with panasonic codec. When you open the file using any program, panasonic codec will replace ms codec by default. You can check that by open the file in virtualdub and select File/File information

panasonic codec

i think there are different opinions about the main concept codec, but anyway, there is an interesting site about switching codecs

http://home.hetnet.nl/~jackwburger/

i havenīt used the tool to switch codecs but it may help someone. on this site there is also a link to the japanese site of panasonic to download the codec. hope that helps.
