Hi there,

I´m using the following Software:
1. DVD-R Version: 0.74 Beta
2. CCE 2.5
3. eclCCE

Source DVD´s: Homemade DVD´s mastered with TMPEG DVDAuthor keeping the Half D1 Captures (352x576) of my Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2.
Sometimes two or three movies are too big to fit a single DVD. IMHO DVDShrink only provides decent results when the DVD-R is a little bit oversized. For bigger oversized movies I like to use DVD-Rebuilder.

My problem: DVD-Rebuilder sometimes seems to screw up my movies. When I play back the shrinked movie, my picture is vertically squished. Looks pretty much like when you feed CCE with a wrong resized movie (e.g. 310x576). Strangely enough the AVS-files generated by DVD-R open up fine in VirtualDub and have 352x576 resolution. Half D1 Resize is disabled in DVD-R.

What is happening here ?

I have been experimenting with some conditional resize and the following AVISynth line seems to solve my issues:


(Width == 352) ? LanczosResize(704,576).AddBorders(8,0,8,0) : nop()


Has any1 of you experienced the same problems ?

BTW: I´ve also had those problems with older versions.

Thnx,
D$

Hmmm... truthfully I don't think I've ever done a movie that was Half-D1 originally. I'll have to give it a look.
