As the thread title states, I'm having a problem using the Film Machine software. I load the AVI file in and it transcodes the sound, but then when it tries to do the video it gives me a message saying that the ECL is not a valid ECL for Cinema Craft Encoder Basic, which is what I use (retail version, not trial). CCE is ver. 2.70.0.4 I believe. Any takers??

Quote:Direct ecl file creation in AviScript for Cinema Craft Encoder CCE SP 2.50, SP 2.67 and CCE Basic 2.67 - no further need to set all the CCE parameters manually, AviScript can do this now. Important for all users of the CCE SP Trial - versions: you also need the tool eclCCE (Doom9-Forum) to support ecl load in the trialversion
You may also want to check what these folk have to say about ECL:
thanks a lot, I'll try it out and let you know how it goes. Everything I read about it says it supports CCE SP trial but nothing about the retail version of CCE Basic. It seems that most plug-ins for CCE are like that, which sucks. But I'll let you know how this one goes.

ok, that didn't help me but I did find an updated version of the film machine program. This new one supports CCE version 2.70, which is what I'm using. The older version of the program only supported CCE 2.67.
So I got it to open up CCE and encode with it. But I ended up with a menu and no DVD movie. Here's the log file it gave me:
