  1. Hi,

    I thought of doing a Multipass VBR (3 Passes) for my exisiting NTSC DV AVI file using CCE 2.64. I tried to do the 3 passes straight without going for a 1 pass first to save time.
    When I watch the Transcoding process, the file size seems to grow but it creates a output file as filename.vaf which is just 2MB size and not any .mpv file. Why?

    These are the actual CASE scenarios:

    CASE 1:
    In the One-Pass VBR mode, CCE infact creates both .mpv file and a .vaf file. Thats fine. After its done, I again change the mode to Mutipass VBR selecting 3 passes with other settings unchanged. When I hit Encode, CCE closes itself the next second, and nothing is happening.

    CASE 2:
    When I go for a Multipass VBR with 3 passes straight, without going for a One-Pass first, in the Transcoding process window, it seems the Filesize seems to grow up to 123MB for a 5 minute NTSC DV AVI footage but the output filename is shown as filename.vaf and surprisingly, the filesize is just 2MB for the .vaf file. I have no idea why CCE showed me the filesize as 123MB and I infact searched all my drives for the .mpv file but no new file is there.
    Once this process is done, CCE closes itself and nothing is happening.

    Any clues on this or what should I do to make it work because, people seem to say on this forum its creating a .mpv file after it finished creating a .vaf file. Even the .pdf file that comes with CCE doesn't seem to be of a clue for me.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

  3. Hi,

    Thanks for your reply.
    Fortunately, I created a logfile that has to be set in the Output tab.
    Very intersesting...
    This is my process:
    I used CCE 2.64.
    I was succesful in using the One-Pass VBR with Q:20, Min: 0 and Max: 8500. This created a .vaf file and a .mpv file and I changed it to Multipass VBR with 3 passes and hit encode. At this point CCE quit immediately and when I opened the log file, it was writing succesfully until I created a One-Pass VBR .mpv file. But after that, I'm seeing this repeating....!!!!
