What do these lines mean?:
Cannot load CCE project file. Retry #1
Cannot load CCE project file. Retry #2
Cannot load CCE project file. Retry #3
This is right after CCE is executed. However CCE then runs. Don't get it.

Also I have written in here before with no resolution to jerky video. So I gave up. Recently I converted the same AVI files with WinAVI converter and others without the jerkiness. (Do not particularly care for the quality to that of CCE). This has happened to many AVI files that I try to convert. Anyway I'm trying the files again and I'll be more specific if I can. But, damn, for the love of God I can't figure this damn thing out! Frustrating...

Not sure why you're getting these errors in your logfile.
The only time I've ever seen that before is when I've modified the Avisynth script to add some pretty heavy filtering. CCE takes a long time to get going with these scripts and DVD2SVCD sometimes "times out" the operation, closes CCE and relaunches it for another go.

Still, if CCE does actually run I wouldn't worry too much about it.
As for the jerkiness, did you try this
If you get an avisynth error "AVISource could not find a decompressor for ...." or you get jerky playback, as long as original file plays OK in Media Player, try this.

NB It only works with Avisynth 2.54 or later.

Open Avisynth.ini (you will find it in your D2S installation folder) in Notepad. Ensure DVD2SVCD is NOT running.

In the Global section of avisynth.ini, replace

AVIReader=AVISource(!filename,audio=false)

with

AVIReader=DirectShowSource(!filename,^framerate,audio=false)

and resave.

Now launch DVD2SVCD, load up your AVI and try a preview.
If it works, do a conversion.
From the AVI2*** fails.... sticky at the top of the forum?
