anyone with the same problem?
come on people...
i use cce 2.50,and so far there weren't any problems until now, i have all the right codecs installed, because avi file works fine, but after the conversion(avi to svcd) the picture gets red, blue...the colours are all wrong..but that only happens at certain avi files,not all.
why?
any idea?
help!!!

Macrovision. If you downloaded the files, there is little you can do. If you are capturing the files you can use your capturing program to defeat the Macrovision. But until you give me more details, I had better stop here.

hi!
what do you mean by macrovision?
what should i do?
i'm not compeletely new at this,but so far i didn't have any problems.none whatsoever. i downloaded dvd2svcd,installed cce 2.50, and everything worked prefectly ok.until now...
for any further instructions i'd be forever grateful
thanks

well, i downloaded avi files,i didn't capture them from dvd.
so there's nothing i can do to stop the colour from turning blue?????

i thought macrovision is used to protect dvd's, not avi files...

Post a copy of your avisynth script so that we can take a look at what you have done. Sometimes I add the line ConvertoYUY2() after the avisource line.

Can you play this script with media player? Just try playing the script with media player to see how it looks. Also there is a forum at http://www.doo9.org that is devoted to avisynth

I am just trying to systematically assist and I know that avisynth has many ways to correct problem. I once had similar problems with my codec. I had these problems when trying to view Xvid with a DivX codec. I wasn't seeing red's and blues but instead was seeing greens and blacks. Is this file a Divx or an Xvid. Try using Gspot to identify the codec used.

after a while i didn't know what to do anymore...
i uninstalled everything and reinstalled the programes which i used before...and now it works..strange......
i might not ever know what the problem was...but at least it works now..
thanks for everyone's help.
