Batch encoding with CCE - how to do it?

[Kevin Henry]

The homepage says it supports it, but I cant see how unless you split the .avi into the parts you want before trying to encode it.

For example - DivX movie in one file, but will be too big at good bitrate to fit on one CD. So I make two files.

However, CCE uses ONLY the blah-vfapi.avi to do it's thing, and there seems to be no way to set up a batch encode of the blah.ecl files.

Now, splitting the .avi with VDub gives out of sync audio in the split files. TMPGEnc wont do it, and splitting the .mpg is also giving me problems - TMPGEnc give a .mpg that the audio finishes and the video plays for another 5 seconds. BBMblah just crashes when you try to open the .mpg, and DVTool doesnt seem to work either.

Yes I know how to use all these softwares in a basic manner, but none are working - except for CCE that creates the .mpv and the .mpa perfectly.

THEN I re-encode the audio in TMPGEnc and then mux in 'mpeg tools'.

That works fine, but means I have to manually set up CCE to do 2 seperate encodes. I could do 2 movies a night, but I'm not getting up every 2 hours to load the .ecl.

Suggestions???

I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but here's what I think...

To encode multiple files with CCE, right-click the main window, "Add", setup that specific file as you want, go back to the main window and right-click again and "Add" another.... keep doing that until you've added all you want to do.

Once you've set it up for multiple files, File-->Save As... and save the single .ecl, which contains all your settings for all the files, and press Encode. CCE will then do its thing until its done all the files in the main window, using all separate settings.

CCE doesn't load multiple .ecl files, it loads multiple files through a SINGLE .ecl.

Got it! I discovered that last night by myself
