Support for 1:1 AVI2DVD

[hoozdapimp]

I know the latest readme says this:


HISTORY:
xx october 2004 version 1.2.2 build 4
- Added: Now you can also convert AVI with AR of 1:1 (TV caps, DV). It's actually the same resizing algo as in the good ol' days of dvd2svcd 1.2.1 B3.
- Bug fix: Grande bug fixed in AVI to whatever when using the internal routines. If a chunk had a size of 0 it would stop demuxing the rest of the AVI fil leaving the audio incomplete. (Thanks to Nick and manolito)


Just wondering when this will be available to the general public. I know it's a "no-no" to ask when the next version will be out, but I (and I assume many others) have been waiting for this feature to be implemented. The reason I need it so much is I do a lot of conversions from 16:9 avi with 5.1 AC3 to DVD but is currently broken in the current version (output is squished). Of course I can use 1.2.2b1, but then I can't keep the original audio. I am able to work around it now by doing some stuff manually, but it would be nice to have the program do it all for me since I'm lazy ;)
Thanks in advance!

DVD2SVCD (the person) has been very quiet of late, so we're all in suspense!

Anyway, if your AVI has square pixels, version 1.2.2 B3 should work as long as you don't use AutoFitCD or whatever. Oh yeay, or 4:3 No borders :)

For AVI's without square pixels you do need to revert to 1.2.2 B1. As for manual workarounds for keeping the audio, try the method in Q74 of the Q+A. I reckon it's about as easy as it gets!

use this as your rezizing script (credit: Nick)

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

or, if you prefer bilinear

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

and so on

i guess you could call this manual as well, but it's a one time ordeal (you only need to edit [either through notepad or through the avisynth editor in the frameserver tab] avisynth.ini once)
