LastCD Picture and Frame Selection -possible issue

[The Idiot]

It seems that when using the ‘Frame Selection’ option, selecting a LastCD picture will cause a CCE freeze.

This issue surfaced when the need to remake the second cd of a two svcd rip arouse. The frame selection option came in very handy, being able to match up the beginning of the cd2 with the end of cd1, however, because there was a length [time] consideration, the need to cut the end credits was necessary, this resulted in an abrupt end of the film, so inserting a LastCD picture was preferable.

I’m relatively certain this can be easily duplicated and checked. If this is a known issue, I apologize for beginning it up again.

If it’s not a bug …please accept my apologies.

Sincerely,
The Idiot

The Idiot,

I feel bad calling you that, I thought that was MY name growing up.

I encountered the same thing today in the same situation with frame based cutting and and a LastCD picture. The encoder wasn't finding the expected AVS file for creating the MPEG still so I modified an existing AVS for it. You may not need it but here it is just in case.


#LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\AVISYN~2.DLL")
Blackness(2)
AssumeFPS(29.970)
ConvertToYUY2
BicubicResize(480,576)

This file's name is LastCDPicture.bmp.avs and I put it in the DVD2SVCD subdirectory. You might not want to add the "#" in front of the first line, it may not be necessary and it might detrimental depending on how you have avisynth set up.

I don't know why this happened, in my case I think I may have checked the LastCD option after the conversion had already started but I'll try using it again and see if the problem repeats itself. Good Luck.
