CCE and Frameserving...is there a faster way?

[beachbum]

Using CCE and having to frameserve the resized avis takes way too long. For a 4 minute video it took 1 hour and 50 minutes. I don't know why it takes this long if CCE is supposedly the fastest encoder out there. I used Virtual Dub's frameserve.
I do have enough space for saving the avi files and it only takes 15 minutes...but when I do it this way the audio b/c out of sync with the rest of the movie. Is there anyway to fix this? Don't say AVSync b/c everytime I try to get that thing working it gives me an error message saying a file of mine is corrupted or something...I don't know what is wrong I tried downloading it twice from different sites still gives me that message.
Since I just need to resize my avi file is there another way I can get the frames over without frameserving? I will not be taking this from a dvd so I can't use the other programs.

Please help

Save the avi and drag it to CCE - You need to figure out why the audio sync goes bad though - I've never had VirtualDub mess up the audio sync - How are you creating the AVI file - I would just use VirtualDub and save it instead of frame-serve it.

Not sure what you're doing wrong, but a 4-minute video shouldn't take more than about 10-15 minutes per pass with CCE unless you're on a really slow machine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have been trying to just save through avi Everything is still out of sync. I use Matrox Marvel G400 capture card. The audio is in good sync when it captures.
My machine is a 1.2 gig amd and it has 576 ram.
One of my files goes over 2 gigs so the 2.5 won't handle it. It goes in the 2.6 CCE, but it gives me this weird error message when I try to encode. I made sure I saved it with the old format avi...b/c it has a problem with the new one. I don't know why it won't take it. It only showed that error message once than after that everytime I tried to press encode it said cce had an encoding error. I can't remember the first error I thought it would come back again, but it just starts to encode really fast then said cce has an encoding error.
If it won't take such a big file I will have to frame serve it which is what I'm doing now...and it's even slower than before.
I'll keep trying or else go back to TMPEG it seems to be much faster and I don't have to keep resizing it before hand.

If you have anymore suggestions please feel free to post them.
