[Nuke2000]

hey iam encodeing a avi file to svcd the avi file is 352x240 i want to make it 480x480 svcd can cce change the size then it encodes ?

No I don't think you can resize in CCE. However, since you have an AVI you could try resize using tmpgenc or virtualdub filter. Virtualdub is probably the easiest.

is there onther program like cce that can do more then 2 pass? i need a program that encode svcd at more then 2pass tmpeg only does 2 pass. and resize it to 480x480 svcd

No I don't think so. But you could try this if you want to use CCE. Why not run it throught virtualdub to resize your avi to 480x480 and then use CCE to encode. On that note I have a problem with CCE geting to do a multipass. In multipass mode it finishes and then stops and reports the following error "CCE encoding failed get frame failed" any ideas?

You can't use VirtualDub frameserver if you're doing multipass. Use an avisynth script (faster) or TMPGEnc (safer) to resize and frameserve.

Have to add this: I think TMPGEnc 2-pass is usually about the same quality as CCE 4-pass. TMPGEnc server version does multipass, but I don't know if it is released yet.

oo i want to get TMPGEnc server version i think TMPGEnc 2pass looks better then cce 3pass

Using AVISynth is the fastest and most powerful method. It provides very good (bicubic) resizing. In addition it can perform many other functions on your input stream such as noise filters, clip selections, cropping, adding borders...

Most importantly, when making a SVCD TMPEGENC's quality doesn't match that of CCE... and AVISYNTH will let you do as many passes as your heart desires.
