DVD2SVCD 113b1 EConvertError '' is not a valid integer value

[eugen]

What the kind of error I have had with CCE267/266, AviSynch251 under WinXP. Look at the lines below from my log file:

Executing Cinema Craft Encoder.

EConvertError '' is not a valid integer value

Frames 240 looks very strange. The same time .d2s file contains the line Frames=42470.
The same time DVD2SVCD 112b1 with old AVS and CCE250 works ok under Win98 the same PC.
Could anbody help me?

I have deleted SmartDeinterlace. Then the avs file starts to be palyable via WMP. Nevetheless, EConvertError (about "integer value") appears again. Now I am comparing both ecl files (DVD2SVCD 112b1/CCE250 and 113b1/CCE267 via EclCCE (11.03)) and trying to start it manually.

please mail me you dvd2svcd.ini fil (zip it first).

Please check this first. Go to the encoder tab. Select Advanced Settings. See if you have selected a template.

[eugen]

done and waiting for your help. Now I have launched 113b2/AVS2/CCE267 via EclCCE (the latest) - we will see. So, the error has been disappered. Tomorrow I will check it with AVS2.5.1.
By the way - what is the dark story with templates? While CCE250 - there were no problems of choice. Is Standard (267) enough or I should choose between Interlaced and Progressive?

[Cathunter]

sorry, but in my case the "EConvertError '' is not a valid integer value" does not dissapear.
I´m using 113b2/AVS2/CCE267 via EclCCE (the latest) and your trick with the template doesn´t work. Does anybody have a hint for me ??
Thx

[dvd2svcd]

In the log tab press the Bugreport button, and mail me. Btw, what are you converting? DVD or AVI?

[Cathunter]

OK...I´ll send you a bug report within the next days. With CCE 2.64 without ECLCCE everything works fine, but sine CCE 2.66/2.67 with ECLCCE I receive the error "EConvertError '' is not a valid integer value".

[dvd2svcd]

What is the exact version of CCE that fails (2.67.x.x) fill in the x's.

[Cathunter]

It´s 2.67.0.8....

[dvd2svcd]

Try the new EclCCE http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51214

[Cathunter]

Hey.....with ECLCCE 1.4 it works fine now...by the way....thx for your help...

[eugen]

Maybe someone could regard my question as a stupid one, but I failed to use "Smartdeinterlace" with DVD2SVCD113b2/CCE266/67/AVS25. With DVD2SVCD112b2/CCE250 it works fine. Of cource using the 1st software combination I could switch off smartdeinterlace, the result is much faster, but to my mind, worse, than the 2nd software combination's one. So, the question is HOW to use Smartdeinterlace with DVD2SVCD113b2/CCE266/67/AVS25?

[dvd2svcd]

Try the version in this thread:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51096

IIRC I fixed it in that version.

[eugen]

Thanks, I will try. By the way, I have found a small bug - while converting NTSC DVD (29,97 fps) with Force film on (to 24 fps) - it counts chapters thinking it's still off. OK, I have decreased all values down to 25% - and finally get indexes at proper places. Only you could AUTOMATE it.

I have tried with b7 - the result is the same.
Think it is high time to publish the log file to understand:

You could see frames 240, in reality there much more.
And, if I switch off smartdeinterlace - everything starts to be ok.
So, the question remains, HOW to use smartdeinderlace with the latest versions of CCE/AVS??????

[eugen]

OK - after searching whenever it was possible I have found out, that Smartdeinterlace is some feature of mpeg2dec.dll, not mpeg2dec3.dll, which is default one after D2S installation.
So, switching to mpeg2dec.dll in frameserving tab I have found Smartdeinterlace I was long for. And lose the speed. It's a pity nobody could tell me about it. So, AVS251 gives a better speed only with mpeg2dec3.dll. Is not it?
