i have problem i reach the cce part in the guide and done according to the manual but at the encoding part the procces stuck for me twice one time at 69% and the second time at 57% , i dont know what to do i dont think its got to do for something i done , and if it got something to do to my compter its strange , because i got p4 384 sdram and ati 64mb and a lot of gb on my h.d so i realy need help. please help or at least link me to somewhere , i tried it now again and again its stuck on 57% i dont know if this program can be use also with regular format , im talking about the dvd proccess after using with smartrip,dvd2avi and vfapi

check this. 

did you try to play back your -vfapi.avi wrapper in media player prior to encoding? sometimes when you forget to install the codec vfapi creates a garbahe .avi file which can cause the problem you're describing. also, post your cce settings, version, etc. as much info as you can gather on the source file/d2v project.

I've had CCE lock up on me if I try to run a multipass (2 or more passes) without having run the required one-pass that generates the information needed for CCE to encode during the multipass sessions.

Have you tried to search before posting this thread? This is quite common problems with CCE. is the result from searching in this forum. Try to read q5 from first. If it's unlikely, go and read by clicking on the result I put above. Good luck :)

i'm experiencing the same problem as fibola, clicked on the link posted by Justinus ("This"....) but it doesn't work, CCE get stuck when it is on its 56/59% of the process, can someone redirect me to that link or similar please ? thanks :)

Shasa, just click the search button. Enter the words "cce", "freeze", "hangs", etc. You'll find plenty of tips on why CCE crashes and what workarounds there are.

thanks Swan, found out what was, went to check with bitrate viewer the *.vob, and the quantscale wasn't linear, while in my settings dvd2svcd->Encoder->AdvancedSettings->LinearQuantizerScale was checked, once unchcked that, everything worked, thanks again for the reply ;)
