Yet Even More Fun With CCE

[BoneRattle]

When we last found our hero, he had successfully gotten past a frame or two of video from an hour long episode of a TV show that would simply not encode with CCE.....

OK, so I now have 3 CCE .mpv files, 1_CCE.mpv, 2_CCE.mpv and 3_CCE.mpv. All files were encoded with 4 pass multipass with the exception of 2_CCE which is about 10 frames long and encoded with a Constant Bit Rate which seemes to cure the CCE crash.

Problem...

I need to stich these files together back into 1 mpv file. Thought I had gotten it done last night but here is what happened:

1) Using TMpeg, I used the merge function to merge all the mpv files into a new mpv. Seems like TMpeg went totally bonzo with the file - demuxed it, rewrote the SVCD header etc etc etc.
2) Used Pulldown.exe on the file
3) Used bbMpeg to mix the file with the .mp2 audio track

Yeah! Plays fine in WinDVD... but alas, when I try to burn it with Nero, I get the message that the video is not compliant with the SVCD standard, nor is it compliant with the VCD standard. I override the standard and burn it, but it will not play on my Apex DVD player - when all other SVCDs have had no trouble.

Forgot to add - in accordance with some of the articles on vcdhelp, I tried remuxing the file in TMpeg - same issue, no change.

Where O where did I go wrong???

Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks all, you have already been so helpful with this noob.

After merging with TMPGEnc, de-mux the video stream from the MPEG. Apply pulldown to that, then feed this elementary video into bbMPEG along with the mp2 and you might get better results.

Thanks kinneera,

Worked like a charm. Got a nice SVCD burned that plays in my Apex.

You are my hero
