It needs to be re-encoded. Check out the tutorial here http://www.dvdrbase.info/showthread.php?t=26515 and read the bit at the very bottom.

after putting in that information in the avs file, CCE gave the this error

frame size 720x596 is not supported. Supported frame size is up to 720x576

b4 i messed with it the avs file said the following:

LoadPlugin("F:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\AVISYN~1.5PL\Mpeg2dec\MPEG2D~1.DLL")
AVISource("C:\RESIDE~1.AVI",audio=false)
ConvertToYUY2()
LanczosResize(720,460)
Import("F:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Tylo\RoBaConditional.avs")
AddBorders(0,58,0,58)

after your changes:

LoadPlugin("F:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\AVISYN~1.5PL\Mpeg2dec\MPEG2D~1.DLL")
AVISource("C:\RESIDE~1.AVI",audio=false)
ConvertToYUY2()
LanczosResize(720,480)
Assumefps(23.976)
Import("F:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Tylo\RoBaConditional.avs")
AddBorders(0,58,0,58)

but then i tried leaving the 460 alone and it took off just fine. So Whats going on?

First line your taking about converting a DVD VOB files, and second line shows your converting an AVI. Can you make up your mind which ?

finally got gspot working right here is the specs of the avi

AVI File Details
========================================
Name.........: XXX.avi
Filesize.....: 1,325 MB (or 1,357,254 KB or 1,389,828,096 bytes)
Runtime......: 01:26:25 (129,620 fr)
Video Codec..: XviD

Audio Bitrate: 448 kb/s (6 ch) CBR
Frame Size...: 640x288 (2.22:1) [=20:9]

and i keep running into this problem with CCE that when it gets to a certain point in the convertion when swiching files to convert it stops and have the CCE windows just sitting there and i have to manually click "encode" for it to take off. I dunno what is going on with it.

ChickenMan · Nov 13, 2004

Okay, so we are now taking about AVI's then ? The one above is PAL. Have you checked the file with DivFix and DivxRepair first ?

"the CCE windows just sitting there and i have to manually click "encode" for it to take off" Dont run ANYTHING in the background and re-boot the PC just before you start the encode, as I say in the Tutorial.

Viper_182 · Nov 14, 2004

well i did what your tutorial said, I think i have figured out what to do. However, CCE is still stopping right before the final encode the only thing i have running is my Norton AntiVirus 2005 could that be it?

Viper_182 · Nov 15, 2004

well i did all of it except the changing 576 to 480 part b/c it was like a number other than 576 CCE kept giving me that

frame size 720x596 is not supported. Supported frame size is up to 720x576

so i did everthing elts even the asume 23 fps thing and dvd lap still picked it up as a pal video

LanczosResize(720,360)

That makes 2 of us

You selected Aspect Ratio of "Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (borders added, encoded as 4:3)", this is for 4:3 fullscreen DVD's. If it was, then there would be NO boarders added. If its 16:9, then you should select Anamorphic (Encode as 16:9) option.
