I'm new here. Just want to say Hello to everyone and say thanks to the author of Eclcce. It works fine with cce2.66 in WinXP pro.
I would like to know how I can keep audio seting to 44.1KHz when I save my ecl, the seting keeps going back to 48KHz.
Thanks.

What is your source? AVI, frameserving via AVISynth? Post the ECL that you saved.

I don't have the ecl file save now.
I use Smartripper, dvd2avi, vfaviconvert, headac3 (converse ac3 to wave 48KHz), then use cce2.66, audio select 224kb/s and 44.1KHz.
I'm doing this with no problem. If I save the ecl, then in cce, edit the audio setting, the setting changed to 48KHz.
I used notepad to open the ecl, and it is 48000. I did not see any 44.1 or 44100 any where.
Hope this help you see my problem.

Please, I need to see an ECL file with that problem.

Also, am I right in that you are feeding that WAV file that HeadAC3 created into CCE to get a multiplexed MPG out? Where did you specify the audio file?

Correction:

I played with ecl for a while, the ecl is saved correctly with whatever settings.
48 will be saved as 48, 44.1 will be save as 44.1.
But if I go back to the audio settings it will be 48 even it was 44.1 before saving.
More interesting, after saving the audio at 44.1, close CCE, then run ecl and open
the saved file, CCE will show 48 and if you continue encoding, you will get mpa file at 48KHz which Nero told me when burning my VCD.
I was mistaken that ecl did not save correctly cause I save the ecl file more than once.
Sorry about that.
Here is the ecl sample:

I think it's because you are inputting audio from another file, maybe CCE can't downsample in this case. Or it is a limitation of the trial version, I don't know. Try feeding it an AVI that contains audio and see if that works. And why are you using vfapi? It's slow, AVISynth is much faster.

[bel]

I would love to use a better way to frameserve cce, I heard about AviSync, but I'm not sure how even after having read some tutorial here at doom9 and Vcdhelp, and beside I don't have much time to play.
By the way, CCE trial can down sampling audio to 44.1, you just can't save and expect cce keep the settings.
Your Ecl works great, my work around is to save ecl and go back to change the audio to 44.1 before encoding, and when cce ask to save, I just click "no".
And I guess the bitrate step settings 500, 100, 10 would not work in the trial version.
Again, thank you for your response and for a great ECL.

Why don't you just use DVD2SVCD? It has an AVI2SVCD option and does all the grunt work for you.
