"Not a CCE ECL file"

[amart]

When I click on 'encode' after the 'prepare' phase, I get the message,

"Item01 (in RB's working folder) is not a CCE SP ECL file", or words to that effect.


In the Set-Up window, the path to CCE is:C:\program files\custom technology\cce sp trial version\cctspt.exe

That usually means you have have selected the wrong option under SETTINGS/CCE SETTINGS. Most commonly people select "CCE SP" when they should be selecting "CCE SP Trial".

[amart]

No, CCE SP Trial is selected.

It's got me stumped!

[jdobbs]

What version are you using?

[amart]

CCE: 2.70.02.10

DVD Rebuilder: 1.09.3

[amart]

I suspect the problem lies with my not-altogether-legit version of CCE.
Worked perfectly fine with a previous dvd, though. Strange, albeit appropriate, that it should croak on Kurosawa's 'The Idiot'.

[jdobbs]

What does the first line of the ECL file say? If you want to check it you can save an ECL from within CCE and compare it. They should match.

In case of emergency there is a little known setting you can add to the INI file called "CCE_Trial_Header" that can force it to the same setting. For example you could use this line in the "[Options]" area of the INI:

CCE_Trial_Header="; CCE SP Trial Version -- Encoder Control List"

I suspect the problem lies with my not-altogether-legit version of CCE.

Sadly, I am going to have to close this thread as we do not support warez.

amart - please read and observe rule 6.





@jdobbs - I know you wish to get to the bottom of this. Perhaps doing it via PM with amart is the best way. Again, sorry, my hands are tied.
