PAL SVCD to NTSC DVD w/tmpg & cce

[jbenj01]

Tools used: TMPGEnc plus, FitCD and CCE 2.50

Firstly, i've tried converting with both tmpg and cce without success. CCE 2.50 won't even accept my avisynth scripts.. i've tried 3 different scripts and CCE keeps giving me erro: "Does not support framerat 740x56.." ... ?? Here's source info and a sample of one of my scripts:

Num. of picture read: 26
Stream type: MPEG-2 MP@ML VBR
Resolution: 352*576
Aspect ratio: 4:3 Generic
Framerate: 25.00
Nom. bitrate: 2500000 Bit/Sec
VBV buffer size: 56
Constrained param. flag: No
Chroma format: 4:2:0
DCT precision: 8
Pic. structure: Frame
Field topfirst: No
DCT type: Field
Quantscale: Nonlinear
Scan type: Alternate
Frame type: Interlaced

FitCD give me:

LoadPlugin("C:\PATH\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\PATH\XX.d2v")
SeparateFields()
BilinearResize(320,224,0,0,352,288).Weave()
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)
AssumeFPS(23.976, true)
ResampleAudio(44100)

The one time that CCE did accept a file (using v2.66), the video came out shifted to the right so as to cut off about 1/4 of the right side of the movie.. ?? The other times, CCE 2.50 just kept crashing as soon as i tried importing the script.

TMPGEnc Plus keeps giving me error that 'LoadPlugin MPEG2DEC.dll' is not an avisynth plugin.. ???

Can someone please advise..? Thank you..

1) What AviSynth version are you using?
2) What's the error message when opening the script in vdubmod/vdub?

Hey Wilbert-- hope all's well and thx for responding..

i dl'd v2.08 couple of weeks ago. i just tired importing the avs script into vdubmod and error said: "...there is no function named MPEG2Source.".. ??

[Wilbert]

Probably a very stupid question. But you replaced PATH (in LoadPlugin("C:\PATH\MPEG2DEC.dll")) by the actual path where mpeg2dec.dll is located?

[jbenj01]

Not stupid at all, considering it's me.. :)

But yes, i did replace 'PATH' w/actual path to mpeg2dec.dll.. which may be the problem.. you see, i did a system search for "mpeg2dec.dll" and seems i've got 11 scattered throughout my system, i.e., GordianKnot, DVD2SVCD, Avisynth 2.08, system32, etc..

I'm thinking i've got different versions of Avisynth dl'd into my system.. question now is, HOW do i get rid of all but the lates?? Or should i get rid of the latest and keep an earlier version??

Thanks, Wilbert..

This shouldn't be a problem. Make a script containing
version
to see what AviSynth version you are using. Could you copy mpeg2dec.dll to the plugin-dir of AviSynth v2.08, and try again?

Thanks, Wilbert.. got Avisynth to work, finally.. it's v2.08. found that i did not have the plugins copied to my TMPG folder..

Now that it's working, my scripts are faulty--i've tried 3 and all for some reason cut off the right portion of the video/movie.. i've tried 352x480, 720x480 with no luck. Here are the 3 scripts i've tried..

MPEG2Source("C:\NAME\MPEG\ReloadedD2V.d2v")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
SeparateFields()
BilinearResize(352,480).Weave()
AssumeFPS(23.97, True)
ResampleAudio(44100)

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\NAME\MPEG\ReloadedD2V.d2v")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
SeparateFields()
BilinearResize(256,224,0,5,352,277).Weave()
AddBorders(48,16,48,16)
AssumeFPS(23.976, true)
Trim(0,190128).FadeOut(150)
ResampleAudio(44100)

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\NAME\MPEG\ReloadedD2V.d2v")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
LanczosResize(720,480)
ConvertFPS(59.94)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,1,2)
Weave()
ConvertToRGB()

Please advise.. ?????
