no output adj for frame size (mpeg2) in CCE

[maxwell3]

I just realized that although tmpg dvd source has an output framesize adjustment CCE does not. Anyone know why this is so ??? I thought CCE was the best .The reason I care is because I want to capture at 720x480 and encode at 320x480

As Mac Sidewinder stated in your other thread, you are going to have to frame serve to CCE. So you just need to resize in avisynth. CCE is much faster, and many feel the image quality is a little better, but TMPGEnc has some features that are not found in CCE.

Thanks.. Im not fam1liar at all w/avisynth altough Iv certanly seen it mentioned often .Bascially i understand Id have to resize (if Im going to) in a different program than cce or use tmpgdvd source .

Avisynth is very powerfull software...it would pay for you to spend the time it takes learn how to use it....and it's not hard. You basicaly install avisynth, and the write a script in notepad pointing to your source, then add filters (resize, etc). You then open your script file as if it was an avi in cce...and that's it! You might have to add a plugin for Huffy, I don't know as I don't use it. I need a plug in to use an MPEG2 source. I would search and then ask (in needed) in the avisynth forum. Below is a simple script I use. i don't resize, but if needed you would add a line like "bicubic resize(320x480)"

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
MPEG2Source("G:\movie.d2v")
YV12toYUY2(interlaced=false)
AddAudio()

hope this helps, Bill
