So... which version do you prefer ? important, current, someone, anyway

@Forum,

I'm using TMPGEnc for all my MPGrip.

I'm trying to use the CCE, so can someone prefer which
version should I try if I'm dealing with AviSynth 2.5x ?

Thank you.

Unless there is a CCE version that accepts YV12 input, the AVISynth version isn't that important, you need a final ConvertToYUY2() for all current CCE versions anyway if you are using AVISynth 2.5. I'm using CCE 2.66.01.07 and am very happy with it. Actually, it's a little faster with AVISynth 2.5.1 compared to AVISynth 2.0.8. I'd also suggest you use Nic's MPEGDecoder DLL as opposed to Mpeg2Dec3.dll, it's definitely faster (about 0.3 realtime on my P4).

RB, how did you get MPEGDecoder to work and still keep audio sync? I tried it a few times with 2.50 on multipass, but could not achieve sync. Maybe I just missed something. It seemed to add frames. You do anything special to make it work?

Right, I'm in PAL land. But didn't Nic fix the frame count bug already?

Are you using ff?
Howdy, Bach. I have just been editing the avisynth script in D2S so it uses mpegdecoder.dll and mpegsource with the existing d2v. My thinking was the ff thing was only if you were having mpegdecoder create the d2v. Maybe I am confused about that. I have not spent a huge amount of time on it as I thought it would not work properly. I have asked several times if anybody got it to work with multipass vbr with pulldown but never got an answer so I kinda thought the answer was no.

/edit: so, after this I ran a cbr encode of a 114 min ntsc progressive dvd. Audio is out of sync. Sync difference seems to not be consistent from start to end so a simple offset will not fix it.

Bach, answer is yes to both of your questions.

@RB,

thank you for your info,
I'll try to start with it, I hope everything will be ok.

It says right in the mpegdecoder.dll readme that it ignores pulldown flags for NTSC, which would result in this behavior, and is the reason why I haven't gone to it in my program. Hopefully these NTSC issues are worked out soon, it sounds promising!

I always read that as it did when it was building the d2v itself. My thinking was that opening a proper d2v made externally would serve ntsc properly. Maybe I read too fast and will go back and look at it again.

Hello
I'm a newbie in dvd2svcd and I want first to THANK DVD2SVCD author for this GREAT TOOL and all the authors who are mentioned in the begining of dvd2svcd faq.
The question I want to ask is how to use Nic's MPEGDecoder DLL with CCE 2.66.01.07  AVS 2.5  in PAL system and latest version of dvd2svcd (how and where to write the avisynth script)
Again I want to thank  all those WHO  keep this site fresh and highly informative

Would anyone like to tell use how to install this decoder. I would like to compare the quality.

I edited my avi script to this but CCE bombed with a memory error.

Import(quot;E:\dvdrip\RESAMP~1.AVSquot;)
LoadPlugin(quot;D:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Avisynth2.5 Plugins\MPEGDecoder_YV12\MPEGDecoder.dllquot;)
mpeg2source(quot;E:\dvdrip\DVD2AV~1.D2Vquot;)

Thanks.

You need to also change 'mpeg2source' to 'mpegsource'.
