CCE/AVI/Vista Issues

[Topcat360]

I've been using CCE for a couple of years now, but I recently got a new laptop with windows vista. Since using CCE on this new hardware, I have been able to encode MP4s just fine, but the program completely crashes when it comes to encoding AVIs. Is this a common issue? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this totally new to everyone?

I'm using Xvid, ffdshow, and halli's media splitter as codecs. Running CCE SP2

I am running the the videos through AVIsynth using the scripts from:
http://playbackhelp.com/doc/guides/queue/

DirectShowSource("G:\bleach_143db\[DB]_Bleach_143_[0D9FBCB2].avi",fps=23.976,audio=false,convertfps=true)
LanczosResize(660,440)
AddBorders(30,20,30,20)
ConvertToYUY2()

Thanks in advance 4 any help!

According to Custom Technology's supported OS page (http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/os.html) Vista 64 is only supported in 32bit mode. I was unaware CCE could output mp4s.

Vista? CCE and MP4 are as Vista and good operating system.

Short and simple: install XP+SP2 on your laptop. Anyone can.

I've downgraded to XP SP2 and still CCE crashes whenever I try to convert an AVI file. Anyone got any clue why???

CCE is rather weird.

When I've used it I "fed" it an avi via an AVS script.

Don't give it any audio: In an AVS script do KILLAUDIO()

Converting video via AVS to YUY2 seems to work. I've tried
feeding it YV12 and RGB and it barfed.

That's all that I can suggest.

Yes I have, on my old PC.
