Settings in TMPGENC and CCE errors

Would someone please advise me, if I wish to use TMPGENC is it necessary to go into that program first and adjust settings before using DVD2SVCD ? Or do I just let DVD2SVCD take care of everything. Is it necessary to go into TMPGENC and choose new project ?

Also :
Getting errors in CCE at the moment off and on. CCE encountered an error and when you click on show details it mentions the NTDLL.DLL file. Does anyone know what that is all about ?

I'm using Win XP, with the lastest DVD2SVCD download.
 
Just let DVD2SVCD do it's stuff. You dont have to do anything but wait.

If you keep having troubles with CCE, try sticking with TMPGenc if you like the quality
 
Thanks for that.

Is it normal for TMPG to take longer to encode ?

It is counting down from 8 hours, on a 1hour and a half film ?

The processor I've got is a P4 2.4ghz, CCE only took about 5-6 hours to encode (when it was working)
 
TMPGEnc is substantially slower than CCE for the same movie encode. Simple as that.

What version of CCE are you using, 2.50 is THE best for stable and fastest encodes.
 
Thanks chickenman. I guess at the end of the day I can handle the longer wait if I knew the quality was up to standard. I took your advise from an earlier post and set 2 pass VBR and the highest quality (slow) but found that the movie I did (the abyss) where an action sequent or something involving the picture moving produced a stuttery trail behind. Do you have any ideas what causes this. To my mind has to be TMPG as CCE never does this for me. The version I am using is 2.50, which I agree is very fast but I have found very unstable. I just don't know why and it is very frustrating. One minute it will work next rip it won't. Recently it is always that NTDLL.DLL file that is mentioned. Rebuilt my machine umteen times and reloaded DVD2SVCD and CCE on numerous occasions. Is it possible that some DVD's will produce the error I am getting and some won't ?
 
The error your getting is a sytem error, not really a CCE error. Move your memory stick to another slot. Borrow your mates memory and try that. Flakie memory is one of the biggest killers of any conversion process.

I A L W A Y S re-boot the PC before I start an encode, if I dont I cannot guarentee it will encode fully without some problem.
