Please can anyone help with a problem with side borders?

[nathanf]

Hi.

Im tying to extract an music video off a DVD.

Ive ripped the chapter with DVD Decrypter, and used DVD2SVCD to rip to mpeg.

The problem is, Im getting black borders to the left and the right of the picture. 2 thirds of the screen size is being wasted.
Ive checked the FAQ's and there doesnt seem to be anything regarding this problem.

If anyone could help I would be very grateful.

Please could you post your Avisynth script file from your project folder?

Cheers
Nick

There is no other .txt document named avi synth script file.:confused: but there is an actual file it wont let me double click

Look for "AviSynth_Script_file.avs"

It is an ASCII file. You can open it with notepad

If its a fullscreen 4:3 clip and in D2S you selected "4:3 (No Borders encode as 4:3)", then simply select "16:9 (Borders added encode as 4:3)" instead and it will fix your problem. This annomaly has been fixed in the yet to be released next version of D2S.

Any idea when there will be a next version? dvd2svcd (the person) hasn't posted since October.

[Nick]

In a word...

No.

I think we should get a copy of the unreleased version since DVD2SVCD has disappeared :(

Hey nick, how about adding the script you once gave me for 1:1 AVI's to a sticky or some such, at least until the next version is released

for your convenience

[AVISYNTH_BilinearResize_nosideborders]
0=Import(!RoBaConditional.avs)
1=BilinearResize(^BorderLeft+^BorderRight+^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
!RoBaConditional.avs=C:\Programs\DVD2SVCD\Tylo\RoBaConditional.avs

[AVISYNTH_LanczosResize_nosideborders]
0=Import(!RoBaConditional.avs)
1=LanczosResize(^BorderLeft+^BorderRight+^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
!RoBaConditional.avs=C:\Programs\DVD2SVCD\Tylo\RoBaConditional.avs

Sorry guys, I have no excuse leaving you like that. I have been busy at work and with a new side project (unrelated to the a/v scene). Anyway, I'm hoping to get some spare time to fix the bigger issues with the software since it seems to be as popular as ever (I guess that from number of daily visitors). If you feel like it you have my permission to send the beta out to those who need it, but make damn sure they know what it is they get.

I'll be back!

[jsoto]

Finally!. Very happy to see you again!
Yes, we were really worried about you...Please don't do it again!.

Yeah, that's right. I was afraid you might have been on a Xmas vacation in SriLanka or Thailand. Good to know you're alive and kicking...

Thanks!

All hail D2S ! =)

Good to see you around

maybe you could bring RB with you on your comeback, so we'd have CCE 2.7 support in EclCCE for the upcoming version :sly:

[Holomatrix]

;) Thought you might have been detained in Mexico for a bit ;)

[DDogg]

Probably time to release the source so somebody else can take the flame and do something with it. Seems a shame to let it die.

Hi DDogg,
where have you been? Good to have you back!

Maybe someone has the web space to host the latest beta? I have been using it since it came out last November without any problems, and it sure did solve this annoying AVI resizing issue.

Cheers

I have some space that I am happy to donate for the beta. Just let me know.

I actually asked DVD2SVCD about this.
He is still not happy with the last beta and was not (at last count) keen on the beta "going public". I'm sure he'd be more than happy to host it himself if he felt this was appropriate.

It appears he has little time to develop the project at the minute but where it goes from here is entirely his decision. As and when I know any more, I'll keep you posted.
