problem frameserving to CCE.

[nick101181]

I have a dvb mpeg (several actually) that I need to convert to complaint dvd mpeg2 with proper gop and compliant frame size. I want to do this with cce because it's way faster for me than tmpgenc.I have avisynth 2.5 and all the plugins. I used fitcd to make a script for me but whenever I load the script into cce it says that my video is 240 frames and 10 seconds long. so I tried to load the script thru vfapi to see if cce would recognize my dvb file properly but it still didn't do it. What should a correct script for encoding dvb to 720x480 mpeg2 look like? I loaded my dvb into dvd2avi so the d2v.avi file was my source. thanks

DVB is PAL isn't it? 25fps rather than the 29.97fps us NTSC'ers use.

dvb is whatever format you grab it from what country you're in. I'm grabbing dvb ntsc files from american sats, so there 29.97 fps. I just want to know how to encode these with cce because it's faster.

I found out what to do but I don't think I should have to do as many steps, something is wrong. First I downloaded dgmpgdec and used the dgindex program to save my dvb stream as a .d2v file . Then I had to load the d2v file in vfapi and convert it. then load the fake vfapi avi into fitcd to make my script then load it into CCE. I don't think it's supposed to take as many steps as that but I got the job done. Any ideas on how to simplify things? thanks

I think this has to do with the speed CCE is giving me. it's a speed of .77 or so. I think this is due to going from vfapi to avisynth to vfapi to avisynth. Wished it would just go straight thru avisynth then vfapi, then maybe I would pick up some more speed. I guess 3 hours and 45 mins for a 5 pass encoded is not a bad length of time. Most of my encodes in CCE go around 1.91 or 2. something anyway, that is why i'm confused about my .77 speed.

After you created the d2v file, you can put the avisynth-script directly into CCE. this works for me.

the script would look like this(the plugin name may vary):

LoadPlugin("F:\video tools\DGDecode\DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("E:\TEMP\D2VAVS\V02.D2V")

If CCE list the video as 240 frames and 10 seconds, than the script has a typo, or the d2v file is corrupt.

well I got the video converted the way I wanted it but I got a huge huge problem. When using the program to make the d2v file it demuxed the audio file(mpa) and said it had a delay of -661 ms. ok so when converting this audio to mp2 or ac3 it's out of sync. Also I tried dvd2avi and it gave me a delay of -554 ms. so i tried encoding that and it's out of sync too. I also tried to demux the original file and encode that audio too but it's still out of sync. Does anyone else have this out of sync issue with dvb files. It's driving me crazy and I would like to clear off all these dvb files off my harddrive cause I got 20 gigs worth already. I can't patch the header and author the dvd because my player doesn't play xdvd too well. The original file itself is perfectly in sync thru out the whole file but after encoding the vid the audio is out of sync. Can anyone give me some help here, It's a huge problem I need to figure out.
