CCE and Avisynth problem

[DVDragon]

MPEGSource("C:\HALLOWEEN5\halloween5.m2v")
SimpleResize(640,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)
ResampleAudio(44100)

This is the script i'm using. CCE takes it but when i press encode it doesn't do anything. On the main screen it shows that the duration and frame are both zero and then it makes a VAF file and and MPV file but they are only like 4kb big. Can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. I would really appreciate any help. I've been searching the forums for two nights now trying to get this to work and i'm just stuck.

By the way I am using the newest version of Avisynth and i'm using DVD2AVI 1.76

I think your first line should look like this:

MPEG2Source("C:\HALLOWEEN5\halloween5.d2v")

A general hint: ALWAYS test your scripts in Vdub before dropping it into CCE/TMPGEnc.

I tried that, but when i use the d2v as the source and open the avs with CCE the program just shuts down. No warnings, no errors, nothing. Just shuts down.

In order for CCE to work, you have to write ResampleAudio(44100) at the end of your script. Even if there's no audio.

I've got that, scroll up and look. By the way what program did you use for that matrix clip?

scroll up and look
Sorry about that.

You forgot load the mpeg2dec.dll . Try :

LoadPlugin("C:\Mpeg2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
MPEGSource("C:\HALLOWEEN5\halloween5.m2v")
SimpleResize(640,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)
ResampleAudio(44100)

lucky..

actually i tried that too, doesn't work. Besides i have the mpegdecoder and the simpleresize dll's in the plugin directory so they get loaded automatically anyway. Has anybody looked at the error that i attached to the first post, maybe that will help.

Shouldn't u be using the mpegdecoder.dll instead of the mpeg2dec since ur using a m2v file and not a d2v?

also, if ur using the mpegdecoder.dll then try adding -2 to ur script(***.m2v", -2)

[DVDragon]

i was using the mpegdecoder.dll but adding -2 fixed it. what exactly does that do?

[benf2]

if i understand it correctly, it tells the prog. where the end of the video file is.
