wierd problems

[jamieg]

hi guys
i have been using the big 3 for sometime now and all of a sudden i seem to have developed problems.i went to encode a film as usual and am now getting wierd errors.firstly cce seems to be going at about 3 times the speed it normally does and makes a 700meg file instead of a 3.5gig.secondly i keep getting a message saying that there is a diferance in the file in first and second pass.niether of these errors i have had before.
any ideas?
i have tried a memtest and it seems ok.

In the other thread you posted you asked about differences between DoCCE4U and BatchCCEWS so which are you using? If you're using BatchCCEWS don't forget this is not intended to work with The Big 3 so try going back to DoCCE4U. You may need to reinsall the programs and set them up again.

cheers man i was just checking batchcce out i am actually using docce.you can use batchcce with the big 3 but you gotta open the txt file created by reautorist yourself its not automatic.i think the problem is something else anyway i went back to the old manual way i used before the big 3 and now when i do a second pass cce closes at about 50%.im gonna try a different version of cce to see if this works.
