[kilroy]

Hey guys this is the error i get right after the first pass of 5 passes in CCE 2.5..

---------------------------
Cinema Craft Encoder SP
---------------------------
cce encoding failed: Error: Video check-sum is different from that of previous pass.
Source video data or time code may be different
Please check video tape or the information file
Please check video tape or the information file

--- information ----
Current: check sum = 01d78e20
Previous: check sum = 01d78e24

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

i have no idea what is goin on.. i update my avisynth and reinstalled CCE2.5..could it be the crack im using that is fuckin it up?!?! im open for suggestions.thx man

There are a couple of ways you can cause this error manually, but I think its mostly a hardware issue. Something about the swap file not being cleared fast enough or something.

There is a patch which disables the checksum error checks. I used to get this error alot and now with the patch installed I haven't had any problems since. Check the DVD2SVCD FAQ, it has a link to the patch.

Running into the same problems now with CCE 2.5. All this started after I did a friggin defrag with Norton. Done lots of defragging before but never a problem. Here's what I'm getting so far:

Run multipass with AVS script @3443 Mbps and CCE gets the VAF done then creates an mpv @ 7 Mbps.

Reinstall CCE 2.5 Run Tsunami patch, CCE gets through VAF and creates an mpv @ .2 Mps

Run multipass on avi (through VFAPI). CCE errors on VAF file.

Run CBR @3443 Mbps on avi and WIndows runs out of Virtual memory with CCE errors.

Deleted the pagefile.sys and changed my Virtual Memory settings from Managed to custom and still no luck

Install CCE 2.62 and now trying CBR @3443 MPs to see how far I get since I read someone got rid of the errors with this version.

All this since the defrag! I think it screwed up the pagefile or something. Maybe I'll end up renstalling WinXP after a format if the 2.62 doesn't cut it.

FWIW...I figured out my problem. It was the vobs. I tried another project and it worked fine with 2.5. I'm not sure why these particular vobs were such a pain but needless to say...issue resolved.

I had a a similar problem that I traced back to the vob files - I had unintentionally set SmartRipper max-file size to 4GB, the rip resulted in 2 vobs, but CCE would not encode it (after parsing it through DVD2AVI/Avisynth). For some reason, the two vobs were 'split' apart in their timing (the second vob I think reset the time code to zero and this buggered CCE encoding). I used IFOEdit to re-join the two vobs, re-create a new set of vob files that met the 1 GB specification and then ran the new vobs (6 of them) through CCE - presto, all fine and dandy. Which raises a question, is this a bug in SmartRipper that it loses the timing when ripping into vobs > 1GB? Or was it the beer that night?
