Film Machine Newbie problem

[grump21]

I think the answer must be simple so will someone please put me right.

As soon as I start The Film Machine and before it comes up I get a message saying "The FilmMachine.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".

I have CCE SP v 2.67 installed.

Tried a search for "The Film Machine" in FAQs but nothing came up.

Thanks

it works best with CCE 2.50

Got the same with CCE v 2.5 that's why I changed.

After searching around I installed TFM v 1.4 beta and it seems to be working OK.

Thanks for your help.

That would have been my suggestion too

By the way, you forgot to tell that your CPU is a Pentium 4

Is this significant

Although I can run the program, I have not managed to get any satisfactory output yet. I merged 2 x 700mb avi files and wanted to make 2 SVCDs but the outcome was 1 mpeg file with red squigly bits around the bottom but the sound was OK. I read that this was an Avisynth problem so installed the recommended file in the right place but still get the same result.

Perhaps I should mention that I am running a 3 GHZ Pentium 4 with XP Pro SP2
and 1 gig memory.

I was joking (well mostly joking).
The most important bug removed in beta 1.4 is compabillity with P4 Hyperthreading.

Thanks jeps. I learn a bit more each day.

The red stripe in the movie means that you don't have the right codecs installed. You should have DivX, Xvid and a mpeg encoder/decoder installed.

[grump21]

Yes I have those 3 installed. I didn't make it very clear but I did not get a picture at all, just the red squiggly bit along the bottom and the sound was OK. The MPEG file was only the size of 1 SVCD when I should have had 2 SVCDs.

Regular vdub have a problem with mp3 in vbr mode,so just use it for cbr,or use a vdubmod or nandub
Also,tons of new app is comimg daily like all those cheap encoders and joiners-choppers..
