ok this is happening because i want to encode in gordan knot at a resolution lower than 720x480 ntsc source, is there a way around it? or is it a bug?

Hi-

I don't think it has anything to do with the resolution you chose. It looks to me like an .avs problem, perhaps having to do with color space conversions. Can you post the .avs and leave off the lines beginning with "#"?

Which Lodoss is this? Record Of Lodoss War? If so, at least 2 of the mods here have had experience with it.

yeah i didnt think it was a res problem by looking at the logs and all but strange enough it encodes fine at 720x480 and any other res it pukes on me the with the msg on the first post. it is the US release of the TV series which is one pain in the ass to work with =/ .

Hi-

Boy, you said it. It ranks with the NGE series as the worst NTSC anime DVDs ever.

Anyway, your resolution is at fault. Your Horizontal Resolution is only Mod 2. I won't comment on you not cropping or resizing to preserve AR (although you can correct it in your player), since you didn't ask about that. But you definitely should reset the GKnot W-Modul to its default 32 (or at least to 16), and the H-Modul to 16, and your problems will disappear. So, you might try BicubicResize(576,384,0,0.5).

yeah i figured it out hehe thx, forgot to update this thread though, i change H to 4 and that fixed it. i was using avisynth 2.0.8 and the preview didnt tell me the res was wrong, i changed back to 2.51 beta and then when i clicked on preview it told me my H was wrong lol =).


Edit: errrr i mean width not height.
