unless you removed things with reauthorist.. i would recommend u use scenaid to make the script instead. scenaid tends to handle the dummy no-cce files much better. we are moving away from ra usage in big3.

i also used scenaid, and got the same error.

the only things i removed with dif4u were 2 audio tracks, some subs and 2 pgc's.

however i had the same problem when i left them intact.

do this (little manual work needed)

Drop that no-cce file into a scenarist project and see what timecode it reads for it.

then, modify the ScenAid or RA script and put that timecode in for that asset..

or you could simply remove the no-cce file and have a dummy replace it depending on what footage is in there...

now it imports ok, but when i go to create the dvd, i get this error.
i think its a dummy file because in the scp file the start and end time were 00:00:00:00, i changed the end time to 00:00:00:01, because thats what it showed in scenarist. it imported this time, but still had the same error as before but it didnt fail.


this is the error i get wheen created the dvd.

hm... those assets should be importing as "Stills" not video ( guessing it's grabbing them as video for some reason)

play this /these no-cce files back in media player or something and see what's in them

if they are empty or you won't mind missing the footage that's in them, rename/move/delete the no-cce.avs files associates w/ them, rerun scenaid and let it do it.

It will replace the cells in the no-cce files w/ dummies resolving this problem

thanks! got it working.

had to uncheck pgc04 in reauthorist and everything imported and created perfectly.
