Cinemcraft Encoder

[blade8079]

Can anyone provide a link to a guide which works with latest 2.64 cinemacrfat version in order to convert from divx to svcd. It seems to crash all the time and doesnt want to encode....

if you are using the guide from this site it only refers to v2.5
just download that instead

Version 2.64 seemed totally flakey so I downloaded the old one 2.62- seems better but it says "Couldnt find appropriate video codec for dvsd" when i try to encode. It says that either on mpeg 1 or mpeg 2 encoding-go figure...


tmpgen works just fine- what the hell does this mean?

I've had so much trouble with this crap encoder...



Thnx

Crap encoder? CCE is the best you can get for DVD encoding. If you're doing SVCD, though, you're better off with TMPGEnc. Otherwise, I recommend CCE 2.5 over the newer ones.

By crap encoder i meant not quality but usability/compatiblity issues/crashes etc

cce is really one of the worst when it comes to those...


Thnx for replies

CCE does have alot of compatibility issues but each one has a very simple and noncompromising solution. There are numerous faqs on cce, most notably the one contained in the DVD2SVCD FAQ. If you know how to get around these issues than cce is just as stable as TMPGenc. Also you are using a pirated version of cce so you really can't complain.
