Resizing of the avi wrong??

[MoonWalker]

I started using dvd2svcd for making avi-->svcd.But i found the the resizing in the avs is totaly wrong..My input video is 640x272 PAL..The resize tha does dvd2svcd from the avs is :

BicubicResize(480,576,0.00,0.75)

whereas the correct should be :

BicubicResize(480,324,0,0.75)
AddBorders(0,126,0,126)

The second one is fron GKnot..I have done a very small clip of the movie to mpg2.Then with DVD2AVI made the project,opened in GKnot and saved the avs from there...

I don't know if i am doing something wrong here...

But this is a exclent programm.Keep up the good work...

As it is today, you have to make your resizes manually in the avisynth script. (Edit avs in the frame server tab). I don't know if you know this but there is trillions of different avi files with just as many different sizes. So I decided just to make a straight up 480*480 or 480*576 resize.

I know this and i am manually editing.I think it would be difficult to make a tab where we enter the avi's resolution so that the avs will be created automaticaly.Would it?

Thanks,

...or maybe it would be a good idea to integrate fitcd? this tool creates a correct avisynth concerning resizing...

That would be really great since at the moment I have to wait till audio encoding is finished to change the avisynth manually.

Just a proposal for the future. Your work is superb. Keep on improving!

@Commander Keen: I use FitCD in this cases, too. But I choose "Edit when dvd2avi processing is done", so I can edit the script before encoding the audio and video parts. It works fine.

But on my opinion it would be great, if FitCD could be integrated in DVD2SVCD as well :-)

thx for the tip. but if I'm not absolutely mistaken, the newest version of dvd2svcd 1.08 B1 resizes correctly?!
I was surprised that there suddenly was an 'add borders' in the avs and tried it. the result looks pretty good to me. seems that some kind of fitcd has been added now. Great!:)

But AFAIK the script generated by DVD2SVCD doesn't do the macro block optimization and the cce-optimization as FitCD does. So here's what I do: I start DVD2SVCD and check the option "Edit script when processing is done". Then I start DVD2AVI or TMPG and determine the coded pixel of the movie (e.g. 704x456). After that I execute FitCD and put these values in the appropriate fields in FitCD. FitCD calculates the target resolution and generates the AviSynth script, which i insert in DVD2SVCD via cut&paste.

why do you determine the resolution via tmpg? fitcd is able to do this, too.
And what optimization is fitcd doing exactly?
I thought this crashfix concerning amd and audio was the only thing fitcd does. exept for the temporal smoother that dvd2svcd has also got.

If i take an avi file and let dvd2svcd work with it, then when does the option of manually editing the avs-file popup? I#ve tried it and it wasn't before audio-encoding. Or I did sth wrong...

Hi Commander,

sorry for my late response.

I do it this way, because some guys in a german board told me so :-) I'm will test it today, if FitCD is able to do this job as well as DVD2AVI / TMPG. But I don't believe so, how schould FitCD know, where to cut the black bars?

No, there are more reasons to use FitCD. It does a macro block optimization and fixes a small cce bug. You can find detailed explanations here: http://mitglied.lycos.de/fitcd/ReadMe.txt

As i described above, I use the setting "Edit when processing is done". This popup appears after starting DVD2AVI (in my case one minute after starting the conversion) and before encoding the audio and video data.

Assuming that there are no black bars in the avi file (wich is normally the case), fitcd simple fills the missing rest from the avi-resolution to the resolution you want using black bars.
If you have to crop it manually because there are black bar already
(then who encoded this divx and did such nonsense?:confused: )fitcd is not the program of your choice of course.

I'll take a look at this, but the link seems to be dead
:(
-oh, no problem. I found it anyway...
