resize question

[jptheripper]

I am using neuron2's new pal to ntsc tool to change a video. It uses pulldown flags to achieve this, and works amazingly

question

i need to resize video to 720x480. If i do this with a filter in rebuilder well it mess up the muxing in the rebuild stage? or will rebuilder just rebuild a a 720x480 25fps with pal ifos (this is what i want.)

i am trying it now to see what happens

reason i am hoping to use rebuilder.
1. for some reason, prepare stage in rebuilder takes 5 mins, d2v generation with dvd2avi takes 1 hour.
2. I am filtering video also so its nice and convinent.
3. I can then just demux the vobs, apply dgpulldown, and remux and done.

oh if this could be built into rebuilder as an option :)

I think you should be able to resize with a filter in rebuilder but by changing the fps i think rebuilder will see the difference in frames between the prepare stage and the rebuild stage and get very very confused. Oh by the way.> Where can I get that pal to ntsc converter tool of neuron2's?

EDIT: IS this the FDecimate() filter on his homepage you are talking about?

[Video Dude]

FDecimate is a decimation filter.

This is the pulldown tool:

yeah

what i am doing now is just preparing the movie file, editing the first avs to remove the trim command, loading in cce with the ecl parameters and new full movie bitrates, then apply pulldown to the whole thing.

ill then remux with the ac3.

well see how it works

hey jdobbs any insight on this?

if, at the rebuild stage, rebuilder finds the m2v files have been resized (720x576 to 720x480) and framerate changed (25fps to 29.97fps), would it choke or just author the ifos with the old size and fps.

[TheSeeker]

I know im not Jdobbs... but I can almost guarantee it would choke because wouldnt the frame count be drastically different? Either way I guess the only way to find out is to try it.

[jptheripper]

frame count is the same b/c the framerate is done with pulldown, just as 23.976 and 29.97 with pulldown framtecounts are the same

yep off to try it
