well got home .. and started the test .. and this only works if you feed the script to a media player (subs show up synched), i couldn't made it work with CCE .. dunno why.. :( the script was like this DirectShowSource("D:\Movie.avi",23.476,True) ConvertToYUY2() LanczosResize(480,448,11,0,618,352) AddBorders(0,64,0,64) CCE just stalls !!
