???? Does CCE only take AVIs ?????

[DaHuberHerbert]

I was trying to convert some old Mpeg1 files to a little bit smaller
Mpeg2 Tracks. But I just can't get any encoder do it.

Gave first try to CCE ( old 2.5 ) but it rejects all my files, stating that they where no AVIs.
I always thought that CCE could encode form each Mpeg format to every other. Am I wrong about that ?????

I haven't used CCE for MPEG-1, but you could load your MPEG-1 stream to CCE via AviSynth. CCE accepts AviSynth Script files (*.avs). See more information of AviSynth here (http://www.avisynth.org/).

CCE only accepts AVIs, although since it can accept AVISynth files, you can pretty much feed anything into it by frameserving through AVISynth.

TMPGEnc, I believe, will open mpeg-1 files natively and mpeg-2 files through DirectShow, if you have it set up properly.
