OK, sometimes you have to ask a question that others might find stupid. I noticed that the default resize parameters in the AVIsynth file, starting (I think) in build 2 or 3 of Version 1.06 of DVD2SVCD are now 480x360. I checked a prior AVISynth file from Build 1 and confirmed that the default used to be 480x480. Why the change?

The reason why I ask is that I have been playing around with files to get the best possible result from playing off of a hard disk rather than burning to CDR -- I multiplex the video with the original 6 channel AC3 (sounds good with a 5.1 card and speaker setup) and thought that 720x480 resolution might also improve the experience (and also allow the resulting file to be burned to DVD-R at some point in the future). However I noticed the change in default mentioned above and, with at least one movie, when I change the parameters to 720x480 I get a CCE error message stating that CCE doesn't support 720x600 resolution nor anything above 720x576 (that was not my setting).

Am I missing something? Any ideas?

You will find with further investigation, that 480x360 is used when the aspect ratio of 16:9 is present. Add borders is used in the Avs script to create the black bars required by this aspect ratio for viewing on standard equipment.

The 480x480 resolution you mentioned is used for 4:3 aspect ratio or when higher level specialized equipment that can manipulate aspect ratio internally is used.

Please read the sticky at the top of this forum about aspect ratio. Very good educational material there for you.

Thread moved by me.
