AVI to DVD using DVD2SVCD stops after CCE finds Q

[white_hew]

Trying to convert avi to DVD.

Not long ago I formatted and reinstalled the OS (winxp) so Im having problems that I didnt have before.

Upon running DVD2SVCD trying to convert avi to DVD, it stops after CCE finds the appropriate Q.

Instead of encoding the movie, the entire process stops, just after encoding samples to find the right Q value.

This happens on some avi's and not others. Others I can convert fine.

Can the problem be I am missing a codec?

The avi specifications are:
The audio is ac3
The Video is DX50/divx

Any suggestions please.

The information you provide is a little thin, but here are some possible reasons why your encode might fail:

Acoording to your log file CCE does not even finish encoding the first sample. It just hangs after determing the initial Q value.

You are using CCE 2.70. If you use the trial version then it is mandatory to call it through ECLCCE.

Do you have a working DivX / XviD decoder for your source files installed? When you click on Preview in DVD2SVCD, do you get a picture?

Is your Avisynth script correct? You can test this by opening the file "AviSynth_Script_File.avs" (located in the D2S work folder) in Media Player. Does Media Player play the movie or do you get an error message in bright red letters?


Just some shots in the dark, hope it helps...
Cheers

Quick correction to manolito's post:
You aren't using CCE 2.70, you're using CCE 2.67. The 2.67 trial version requires EclCCE (see the plugins sticky in this forum). The 2.70 trial version does not require EclCCE.
