DVD2SVCD: CCE Freezes

[monteie]

When I run a particular video file throught DVD2SVCD everything runs well until it gets to %60 of the Cinema Craft Encoding. I am running DVD2SVCD 1.2.1 Build 2 and CCE 2.5.
Any light you could shed would be great!


Here is what Gspot tells me...



Here is what the encoder looks like when it freezes



Here is the log file from DVD2SVCD

I'll take a look at this in a little bit, but I just wanted to pop on here and say, "awesome job" for providing information with your question. I wish more posters were like you. So many use to the subject line "help" and the question being something totally vague.

Hopefully, someone else can answer this quickly for you if I cant. I just had to comment on it. That and you are a realitively new to the board.

Open that avi-file with virtualdubmod and chooce VIDEO -> Direct stream copy. Audio -> Direct stream copy. Then just save it with different name. That could help if the avi-file is corrupted.

One piece of information that I forgot to mention was the fact that I combined the avi from three different files using Nandub 1.0rc2 build 1853. There was no eror msgs and it worked flawlessly. I also used VirtualDub before the NanDub step to ensure that the avi's used didn't have any errors.

Thanks...

You could try this OPV method:

You could also try to encode those 3 avi files separately in CCE?
