Trouble encoding The Truman Show

[adam1185]

I did a search on the forums and noticed that some other people were having problems encoding the truman show with CCE but none of the threads say if they solved their problem. Well heres my problem and the log below. It keeps freezing at 9% and I've tried three times now! Anyone have any ideas?

Can you list all the things that you have tried, that way people dont have to guess :) and post your avisynth script.

[adam1185]

Where do i get the avisynth script?

I also tried the different avisynth.dll that dvd2svcd posted a while back and that still did not work. Also tried many of the options suggested in the dvd2svcd Q & A

[UltimateDBZ]

AVISynth script is in the directory where all your other files were created, the name of the file should be self explanatory ;)

[adam1185]

Ok here's my avisynth script:

LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\SIMPLE~1\SIMPLE~1.DLL")
LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2D~1.DLL")
mpeg2source("D:\DOWNLO~1\Movies\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
SimpleResize(480,480)
ResampleAudio(44100)

[UltimateDBZ]

The script looks good to me..

Does the movie have alot of dark scenes? If so, you may want to increase the luminance, it has been known to solve some encoding troubles...
