1st time cce'er with a problem

[shorn]

Ive had my first shot at trying the big 3 method and all was going well up until the encoding.
Iv edone everything in reauthorist and it loads the jobs into DoCCE4U, (theres only two cos im backing up "heat" and its just the main movie), when the jobs were loaded into DoCCE4U i clicked the green play button and it said in the log "RoBA - part 1 started", it then opened CCE and it did 'something' for about 1hr 45 mins. When that finished it came up in the log with "RoBA - part 1 finished", then it said "RoBA - part 2 started", then cce opened and it brought up a window with something loaded and had the buttons "encode" and "exit", i left it about 15 mins but nothing happened so i clicked encode, it then said it had about 6 hrs left (im doing 3 pass by the way), That was when i left it last night, I woke this morning and it was back to the same window which said encode and exit?, I thought once i pressed plat it DoCCE4U then it should run auto until it closes.

Any ideas anyone?

well this happened with one project i was encoding but you were a bit unlucky to get errors on your first go.
anyways, i can suggest two things to try - someone more versed in the peculiarities of encoding might be able to give you others.
1. open DoCCE4U, and clear all jobs, go to file, load file list, and navigate to the CCEData.txt that DIF4U created and give that a go.
2. again clear all jobs, select 'new job' (or add job, i forget - its the button with cog picture) and navigate to your .avs file for your main movie (if that was the one it was stopping on) and select it. then check your settings in DoCCE4U- select project template 'roba' or it might say robshot bach???) selct progressive (if it is) select the number of passes (3) and then select the 'add job' button (the one with the plus symbol), check that it all lokks right and hit play.
then regularly check it to see its still running.
i would try option 2 first as this worked the last time i had issues with DoCCE4U.
hope that helps
