    Frameserving with DVDx and CCE SP

    I was hoping to find some assistance from anyone who has experience frameserving with DVDx and CCE SP. I have a relatively slow (Pentium II) and small (5 GB available) computer, but plenty of time for processing so decided to use DVDx because of the small amount of storage required, and decided to use CCE SP because I had read that it gave better quality visuals and was quicker than TMPGEnc. I am using DVDx v2.3, with the Premiere Video Server Plugin v.951 and CCE SP v.2.50. I’ve been successful using DVDx by itself and frameserving with TMPGEnc. The problem I’m having is that when I try to frameserve with CCE SP, I keep getting an “unknown error” when it begins to encode. It seems like I’ve read before that CCE SP can be buggy, but I was hoping that someone might be able to give some suggestions to get it working right.

    My settings are as follows:
    DVDx Input:
    DeCSS: Use ASPI
    Key Search: Once
    Audio: Dolby Sound
    English AC3 2Ch (0x80)
    Normal Quality
    Volume=3
    Subtitle:
    None
    Original Colors
    Offset=0
    Misc:
    iDCT=MMX
    Audio/Video synchronization
    Output Frame Rate:
    29.97
    Detect Progr. 24Hz
    Save your DVD drive:
    10MB
    Location=RAM

    DVDx Output:
    Export=RGB24
    Zoom=Letterbox
    Resize=Bicubic SSE
    Multipass is set to off

    Premiere Video Server settings:
    Server Mode=AVIWrapper
    Normal Audio Export
    Premiere Video Server Postpro:
    Multipex=VCD cut @74m
    Premiere Video Server General:
    Time out enabled=90s
    Delete .vaf and create .ecl are left unchecked

    CCE SP Encode settings:
    Output files:
    Video files is checked and ES is selected
    Video information file is checked
    Video encoding mode=CBR and MPEG-1
    Bitrate avg=1150
    Video, GOP, and Quality settings are left to default settings

    I chose MPEG-1 due to storage size and processing time, but I’ve tried encoding as VBR MPEG-2 and still get the same “unknown error” message.

    Appreciate any help anyone can offer.
