Generic ecl file works on 2.66 but not on 2.70

[ADLANCAS]

In version 2.66 I used a "generic" ECL that could open a avs even when I don´t know exact number of frames of avs.
I delete lines of "frame_last=" and "encode_last=" to do that.

See below an example

then, when loaded in CCE, it works fine, because CCE 2.66 checks number of frames again.

I´m trying to make the same in version 2.70, but CCE doesn´t open ecl file that doesn´t contains a correct number of frames
in variable "encode_last= ".

Is there a way to do that ?

It seems that there is no easy solution.
Ok, I´ll use avs2avi to know quantity of frames.

The ECL of 2.70 is a littlebit different than the old one. The easiest way will be:

Create a ECL in CCE and edit it in the Editor to fit the settings of Your old script.

Or You can download my programm AutoQ 1.5.3 (http://www.autoq.fx.to). Start a project and run the Q-Value-Testmode. In the temp-folder You'll find a generic ECL-File for CCE 2.70 generated by AutoQ.

[ADLANCAS]

Yes, new version is different. Thanks for your suggestions.
I used avs2avi together with an excel sheet.

In your tool, you included a "fix" to encode using cce 2.70.02.
It seems that was a problem with batch mode in CCE. What did you do exactly to solve that problem?

[Amnon82]

It is easy to explain. The Batchmode is damaged in the CCE Version 2.70.00.00 - 2.70.02.00. Since 2.70.02.01 it is fixed now.

So what did I to get the older Versions work. Simple: The Batchmode starts but it doesn't give the encode call. So nobody clicks on the Encode-button. Now AutoQ will come in the game. I start a timer, search for the Windowtitle and give the 'press-Encode-button'-Call. CCE starts to encode. Thats the way I solved it in AutoQ
