DVD settings...

[cracken]

Hello, someone could tell me whats the difference between this:

BilinearResize(720,416,8,0,704,576)
AddBorders(0,80,0,80)

and this:

BilinearResize(720,416)
AddBorders(0,80,0,80)

I've notice that using the second one... CCE compress slower... what gives the best quality?

Now I´m using DVD2SVCD to make my DVD backups, and as the bitrates are higher than when I used to make SVCD, I don´t know what settings use to get best quality...

Should I use...:

- Bilinear or bicubic resize?
- DVD or CVD resolution?

should I use bicubic and DVD res with higher bitrates videos? and bilinear with less bitrate videos?

If someone wants to send me an ini file to get best quality for DVD, I would thank him so much.

PD: excuse my english, I´m spanish.... ;-)

The first one is cropping the source. The second one not.
what gives the best quality?
Trust you eyes. Encode a short clip with both, compare and choose. Also please avoid quetions of "best settings", as there is no absolute answers (remember Rule 12).

This applies to all the other questions on your previous post. Trust your eyes! Also, :readfaq: and guides!
