AutoGK selected 720 for width?

[PlazzTT]

Hi,

I'm doing an encode of a DVD which is 1hr 46 long.

The source resolution is 720x576 (of course).

When I leave video and audio settings to auto, it picks 720x320 as the final resolution to encode to.

It seems to pick this without taking into account the possibility that Autocrop in the AVS will trim a few pixels from the left and/or right.

So the final AVS will be cropping down and then resizing back up to 720. (I think?)

Hi,

Nothing weird, enough file size to get a 720 width

Uhhhh it is not supposed to work that way; in AGK it will crop in mod 16 unless manually overidden

If by final avs you mean the movie.avs instead of the comptest.avs, the answer, in your case, seems to be no:
1/ comptest to 720*320
2/ movie also to 720*320

To be sure, post your logfile.

Hi-

I believe it'll crop for Mod2, but resize to Mod16. If there's black to the right and left, it's very possible for some pixels to be cropped from the right and left, and for the width to be increased back to 720. It depends on the other settings, and as BigDid says, if your intended filesize is large enough that the results of the compress test allow for a width of 720.

Yeah, a logfile might help.

Hi Manono,

I have read that in the Lenox version but it seems (at least in this encode) that it is cropping mod4

If there's black to the right and left, it's very possible for some pixels to be cropped from the right and left, and for the width to be increased back to 720.
I would agree for resizing to 704 width or below but not for 720, at least for this encode

It depends on the other settings, and as BigDid says, if your intended filesize is large enough that the results of the compress test allow for a width of 720...
Yep, here is the movie.avs part for my last (and rare) 720 width encode/lilo and Stitch:

movie = mpeg2source("M:\DVD attente\STITCH_THE_MOVIE\agk_tmp\STITCH_THE_MOVIE.d2v")
cropclip = autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)
fixed_aspect = 1.42222222222222
c_width = width(cropclip)
c_height = round(height(cropclip) / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(c_width)/float(c_height)
input_par = (input_par > 1.4) || (input_par < 1.25) ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = 720
out_height = round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect
LeakKernelDeInt(movie,order=1,sharp=true)
autocrop(mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)
LanczosResize(out_width,out_height)

Hey BigDid-

What are you doing with an interlaced Lilo And Stitch? Did PAL mess it up that much? I'm not really sure what it's doing. The Autocrop is mentioned twice, once before the deinterlace, and then maybe the actual cropping is taking place after the deinterlace, by which time it's OK to crop Mod2. But it looks to me (not really understanding the script) that it's noting the source is interlaced, and deciding to crop by Mod4 because of that, and then doing the actual cropping after the deinterlace, when Mod4 cropping is no longer necessary. I could easily be wrong though.

LeakKernelDeInt(movie,order=1,sharp=true)

Good point,

It's not even the real Lilo&Stitch, it's a sequel :(

Yes the source is interlaced, here is part of the log:
