View Full Version : MPEG2 from AVI conversion shows shorter time length in media player

I have been using CCE for several months and have never had a real problem until my last two conversions. I'm not sure what I screwed up but I will describe my problem.
After encoding, I watch the video in media player to verify the quality and to check the time length. Media player shows that the time is less than the original AVI yet the movie appears to be the correct length because I see the begining of the movie and then the credits at the end. I don't have any sound on the flic at this point so I don't feel like watching the whole movie to see if the middle portion might be missing. Here is a copy of the simple script that i have used:
# -= AviSynth script by FitCD v1.1.2 =-
#LoadPlugin("D:\PathOf\AnyPlugin.dll")
AviSource("C:\1movie encoding\cce\extror\dvl-lxg12na.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
BicubicResize(688,272,0,0.6,9,0,590,256)
AddBorders(16,96,16,112)
#Trim(0,158586).FadeOut(150)
After encoding, I change the *.mpv to *.m2v and use AVI2MPEG2 to multiplex the video to produce an MPEG2 that I can drop into DVD Architect for authoring. When I try to drop my *.m2v file into AVI2MPEG2, I get an error saying that the program can't find the movies endpoint. Something funny is going on but I aint laughing.

This has happened twice and I'm not sure what may have happened. I have been using CCE 2.67 with ECLCCE.
The following screens show the cce settings that I have set up:

Unfortunately I don't have a CCE logfile to post like I did back when I was using CCE2.5 but i have tried to provide a little bit of information that may help some body help me. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
