Hi,
I have installed the frameserver plugin and tested it with the following results.

When frameserving to MC codec 1.3.1, the video is BLANK but audio plays fine.
When frameserving to TMPGenc 2.59, it's perfect.
When frameserving to CCE 2.5, it's very slooow. Speed is about 0.062

My sourve file is DV avi. I have tested both VCD and SVCD in MC codec and TMPGenc.
While in CCE, I tested DVD at a bitrate of 6000k.

My main choice is to use MC codec. I am really happy with the speed and quality of this encoder. But why am I getting this problem? Any help from you guys is very much appreciated.

"When frameserving to MC codec 1.3.1, the video is BLANK but audio plays fine."
I will try to find a demo of that and check.

"When frameserving to CCE 2.5, it's very slooow. Speed is about 0.062"
Did you remember to turn off audio? CCE 2.50 does not do audio correctly. Try a cbr encode, no vaf and no audio. Let us know what speed you see. Also, make sure in the options tab you have try rgb32 checked. Encode audio to mp2 in Vegas, mute audio in timeline and serve video only to CCE. Now Mux using BBmplex for final MPG.

Tried this and works great. Muted audio in Vegas and only served video. Speed is around 0.8 .
But what about MC codec? Did you have the chance to try it?

Thanks...

The CCE is only so slow, when you have activated audio output in the encoder. Then it waits very long at the beginning, until it starts.

Black piture in MC-Encoder 1.3: I had that only, when I tried to resize to 480x576 (PAL SVCD). When I tried to stay in the original size 720x576, it worked fine for me.
