Post this in the DVD2SVCD Basic Topics forum. This is a problem with DVD2SVCD, not EclCCE.

I've only just noticed that eclCCE is here to provide DVD2SVCD support for CCE 2.66 Trial, so I downloaded eclCCE and went through the installation and Usage portions of the eclCCE pdf. I must be missing something though, because every time DVD2SVCD gets to encoding, CCE says

Limitation of Trial Version
Can't save ECL file.

and in the DVD2SVCD log

Executing Cinema Craft Encoder.
Error cannot find CCE project file.

I've got the CCE path pointing to eclCCE.exe, which is in the same dir as CCE 2.66.01.04 and eclCCE.dll, and the eclCCE.ini is set for cctspt.exe. It does the same thing if I run just eclCCE and load the AviSynth_Script_file.avs DVD2SVCD created. I'm using Keep Interlaced and an Interlaced Source CCE template made while reading the eclCCE pdf. The DVD2SVCD log file also says it has to perform IVTC based on the DVD2AVI project file. Any idea?

CCE 2.66.01.04 is not supported by the ECL functionality in EclCCE, this is in the readme. You need to use 2.66.01.07 at least. See http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...r=2#post290438 for an unsupported workaround.

EclCCE doesn't give CCE tthe correct task priority!

I'm using this nice tool together with DVD2SVCD where I have choosen the priority ILDE.
EclCCE gets this priority correct, but CCE always runns as normal!

EclCCE should check which priority itself has and take this priority also for CCE.

For DVD2SVCD it is more difficut to implement this that it is for you because the autor can get the correct handle of EclCCE by using ShellExecute, but if he wants to reach CCE behind your program he needs to search the correct CCE window! If the user has multiple instances of CCE running at the same time this is much to difficult so you should implement this small feature in your program.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK & HELP!

Regards
TKS

Are you running Windows 9x/ME? It works like you want it to in Windows NT/2000/XP. Anyway, the upcoming v1.4 already has an option to specify the CCE task priority.

I'm using EclCCE 1.3, CCE 2.67.00.09, DVD2SVCD 1.1.3b2 unter Win2K.

If you mean this option over the ini file - why don't you just check for the priority of EclCCE? This would be much easyer for other programmers tho implement!

Strange. On my system (XP and 2000), when EclCCE is run with idle process priority either via the "Start" command or DVD2SVCD, then cctspt.exe runs with that same priority (idle). Did you actually go into task manager and check this? This is also what the MS docs say. That is, a process running with idle or normal priority inherits it's priority to child processes.

Yes, there I have seen that it was running with normal priority...

I'll check it today again...

New version 1.4 is out. Here are the changes:
Code:
16/04/2003 v1.4

	- Added option to shut down system after encoding
	- Added EclCCE settings dialog along with the ability to
          specify the CCE process priority
	- Added a manifest file for CCE to the distribution. Copy
          cctspt.exe.manifest to the CCE installation directory to
          apply Windows XP visual styles.
	- Fixed: CCE window title was set incorrectly when ECL file
                 name contained a dash
	- Fixed: in some cases Encoding did not start when clicking
                 Yes in the "Save changes....?" prompt and then
                 canceling the Save dialog.
	- Fixed: in some cases you were not prompted to save changes
                 after modifying the Bitrate Tweak settings.
	- Fixed: problem with hooking into CCE when EclCCE.exe was
                 run with process priorities above "Normal".

Great stuff, really slick.

I wanted to request saving of the 3:2 pulldown detection settings. You mention earlier in the thread that you might work on that if there is demand...so I wanted to speak up.

(My dream is to write a program that would take a DVD2AVI project and use the field flags in it to instruct CCE exactly how to encode a hybrid source. The hope is that this would allow one to, with CCE, create an exact copy of a hybrid source -- something currently possible with DVD2One and the like, but at the cost of image quality.)

Custom technology released CCE 2.67.00.10 (still a beta version), so here is a new EclCCE version supporting it.
Code:
25/04/2003 v1.4a

	- Added support for CCE 2.67.00.10
	- Added ability to minimize CCE to the system tray during encoding

Well, there are so many buttons and settings in the 3:2 Pulldown dialog that it makes my hair hurt It might be nothing more than a very tedious task to gather all the settings and read/write them from/to the ECL, problem is it will likely take a lot of time to develop and debug and right now I'm really short of time. It would help greatly though to have an ECL with 3:2 pulldown settings saved from a full CCE version. Maybe you could look around to see if you can get your hands on such an ECL?

Anyway, I'll start looking into it in the near future, can't promise anything yet, sorry.

Thanks, I understand. That dialog is a nightmare. I think you can ignore all the "Phase calculators" buttons though. And on the left, there is a duplicate set of 10 buttons that can be ignored (A:1 2 B:1 2 3 C:1 2 D:1 2 3) -- these do the same thing as the (1 2) / (1 2 3 4 5) buttons above them. (Or you could ignore the (1 2) and (1 2 3 4 5) buttons, but I'm guessing you'd rather ignore 10 buttons than 7 ).

I'll look for an ECL with 3:2 pulldown detection settings -- probably difficult to locate, though.

In any case, great app.

Hi!

What a pitty. I tried your EclCCE to be able to load an ecl from a script. But its seems that wine does not like it . It starts correctly up cce (2.5) but does not load the ecl.

I guess you wont mess with such things. Anyway the idea is great.

Sorry, can't do anything about this. Looks like Wine is not correctly or not at all supporting a technique called 'Windows Hooks'.

Yes it seems so.

As I have seen now.

But thanks for the reply and sorry for bother you

RB, this is such a sweet piece of work! For nearly three years I have had to stare at CCE, "in my face". So, I particularly like the new minimize ability.
