CCE 2.5 Question - Newbie

[rwarren]

After going throught numerous methods, I have decided that the best way to convert some of my VHS tapes to SVCD is by VHS->Sony TRV20->Firewire->Premiere 6->AVI->TMPEnc 12+. I have a Radeon 64MB VIVO and I have tried MMC 7, MMC7.1, VirtualDub, Ulead VideoStudio 5, etc. with no luck. Every method dropped frames with the exception of the MMC7.1 VCD setting which was too blocky. I am sure my problems stem from ATI drivers because my setup is a Duron 700 (O/C to 1Gig), 40GB 7,200rpm ATA100 IBM harddrive and 384MB of RAM and Windows 2000. Premiere has captured 45 minutes of video several times without dropping a single frame.

Anyway, I read where the CCE 2.5 SP encoder was much faster and as good or better quality than TMPGEnc. I have tried to use CCE 2.5 but when I press "encode" I get an error about not having the correct codec for DSVD. Every viewer I have can play the AVI without a problem. Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks in advance.

Same error for me too. Only if source is Premiere 6 exported avi. Other AVIs work just fine when I press ENCODE button. What is wrong?

I had a similar problem with opening some files in virtualdub and the frameserv them to CCE 2.50 sp. But I found a codec at http://www.mainconcept.de to help me. this is a trial version, fully working when going from DV to other format but inserts a logo or something when going the other way. Anyway this should work for you to since you are jusy going the fully working direction.....

>>bacardi/avt,

You are reffering to the "missing DVSD codec". THis is not out issue. In our case the letters are reversed -- "missing D S V D codec". THe main concept demo codec fixes DVSD problem. Our problem is DSVD!
