AVS problem in CCE

[kustomkla80]

I use fitcd to make an avs file, and then load it into cce for encoding, and it encodes, but when I play the file it plays waaay to fast, a little over twice normal speed.

More details please, such as source / target framerate and of course please post the script.

[kustomkla80]

Target frame rate is 29.97 fps, source is a divx avi file. Here is an example of the script

LoadPlugin("C:\MPEG2DEC.dll")
AviSource("C:\The_Negotiator_(1998).CD1.AC3.Wormz. ShareReactor.avi")
BicubicResize(320,126,0,0.6,14,0,612,272)
#TemporalSmoother(2,2)
AddBorders(16,57,16,57)
#Trim(0,97649).FadeOut(150)
#ConvertToRGB24 # For TMPGEnc or VFAPI
#ResampleAudio(44100) # CCE 2.5 'crashfix' for Athlons
#== If you want this 'fix' permanently, edit the INI-file:
#== Under [AVSscript] set CCEcrashfix=1




For this script in fitcd it was set to 23.976 fps. I've tried it at 23 and 29, and both times it didn't work and I ran pulldown on both and it still didn't work (wasn't expecting it to on the 29, but I was desperate).

If it was 23.976 and you encoded it to 29.97 without using pull down then that is the problem. You need to add a pulldown filter in the script to convert it to 29.97FPS

Thanks...How Do I do that?

[Truman]

I dont think so, because ccesp does not change the framerate. So if you load a 23.976 source, cce will encode at the same framerate unless you change the framerate with Avisynth.
Pulldown.exe inserts rff and tff flags to the header, which will tell the player to perform a 3:2 pulldown during playback. You might need that if you want to play the SVCD on a standalone player.

[kustomkla80]

fair enough, but that still leaves me with a problem. The very fast video, and pulldown isn't helping me.

Are you just playing the video stream that CCE created? Whenever I do this it always plays too fast. If you multiplex it in with your audio stream and make a program stream (mpg) then it should play fine.

[kustomkla80]

thanks, I'll give that a try. But should I run pulldown on it first to make it 29.97fps?

yes

You need to tell us what the frame rate the actual movie is at. Load the .AVS into VirtualDub, then click FILE > FILE INFORMATION, then read what the fps that the file is reporting. If CCE sees this as a 60fps file, then it will encode at 60fps (actually, it will just set the timecodes based on the framerate).

CCE doesn't do anything to the framerate - it only adds the timecode information - and it gets this from your file.

If your file is 24fps (or 23.976fps) then you have to apply a 2:3 pulldown on the result (which, as Truman says, adds the correct flags to the video stream) to get it to 29.97fps for NTSC television viewing.

You can also override the fps of your original video file by using the command:
ASSUMEFPS(23.976) or (29.97)
right after the LOAD command. This will allow CCE to insert the correct timecodes so your playback will be at the correct rate.
