Help please with using 352x480 capture in CCE SP

[FulciLives]

I mostly use TMPGEnc but have started fooling around with CCE SP but I can't figure out how to properly encode my AVI captures to MPEG-2

My captures are done at 352x480 but when I try to encode it seems to keep the image as 352x480 in a 720x480 window.

I've tried the half horizontal and half veritcal settings but one totally gives a garbled output and the other gives a VERY small image within a huge window.

I'm not stupid but this is annoying me.

So how do I set it up for a MPEG-2 352x480 encoding (to be burned to a DVD).

Thank you and sorry

Huh? CCE has no (real) resizing feature. If your source is 352x480 then your output should be 352x480. Normally people frameserve to CCE with either Avisynth (personal choice) or VDub. I'm not sure what your problem is (it sounds like you are saying you have a 352x480 source but when you encode you get a 720x480 MPEG, is that correct)?

Try reading the CCE guides at doom9.org and posting on the CCE forum at doom9 for more info. But can you explain exactly what your source, settings, and output look like?

I am encoding with CCE SP 2.66 @ 352x480 - no problem.
I am frameserving from Vdub.
How do you watch your encoded movie? WMP doesn't show them properly, you should use PowerDVD or WinDVD.
BTW, I was also using TMP, but it looks like CCE is better.

Check off "DVD video compliant" in CCE's Video options.
