CCE crashing when used with DVDX

[Puneet]

After I did the settings in DVDX and CCE as per the guide on www.doom9.org for converting to SVCD, I found CCE crashing after the 1st pass.

I selected Multipass in CCE with 3 passes. After the 1st pass it creates the .vaf file and then suddenly BBMPEG opens and says "Can't find IPCserver.mpv" and IPCserver.mpa files". I have checked all the filenames in the Output settings. It hasn't even created these mpa and mpv files on my hard disk. Then why is it straightaway going to muxing these to a mpg file when it has not created them after the creation of the .vaf file.

As a result, CCE just crashes.
BTW, I am using DVDX 1.8a and CCE SP 2.64 and am running Windows XP Pro.

Does anyone know where I can get CCE SP 2.50 Trial?

I got exactly the same problem over here. But I also encountered problems using other encoding techniques.

See here http://forum.vcdhelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=83262

As for the problem I knew that the trial remove from 2.64 had multipass problems. But I also had the problem with the trial also. So it is some problem with the CCE 2.64 itself. Do you also use an Athlon XP CPU? Maybe there is a problem with it.

hi,

I have the same problem, I'm not able to do a multipass vbr 2 or higher. Only VBR 1 will do the complete job, but in the end I end up with an mpg file which has the complete audio but only one video frame.
I'm using a Pentium, so the processor doesn't seem to be the problem

Meanwhile I got em to work the same way you have it. But I have the exact behaviour with 2pass or more. Sound is there but only the last frame is constantly played or shown.

The funny thing is that I also have playback problems with 2.pass Divx5 streams. They are also not well encoded it seems.

Hope someone has an explanation on this
