i was having the same problem. the avi file has to be 480x480. i use virtualdub to resize the avi file. then encode it with cce.

look at the latest news section there is a cce guide by mega5. use this guide but do not frameserve. instead resize in virtualdub and save to a new avi without audio. then save audio as wave file with out video.
encode the video with cce and the audio with tmpgenc. then multipex video and audio using bbmpeg.
this works great for me.
i hope this helps.

Load the avi in virtual dub and click file/save old format avi. Now load this in cce and you wont get any errors.

Racoty, when you resize and save as avi in vdub, the file I'm getting is huge, do I need to set up some compression again ? But this will do a second compression, thus degrading the quality not ? How do I do this ?
