Help with demuxed .d2v file when opened in VirtualDub

[bcsman]

OK first not sure which forum to place this in as I'm not sure where the problem stems from. I have a TS stream recorded from my DVB computer source. I patched with DVD Patcher to resize from 544X480 to 720X480. I downloaded DGMPGDEC130, then opened DGIndex and had to use the Detect PIDS: RAW feature as it found none in the stream. It displayed a video and audio PID as well as 2 "other" PIDS. I chose the video and audio PIDS. Everything seemed to go well. I then wrote a simple script to load the .d2v file and DGEncode into AVISynth 2.5.4. I then loaded the .avs script into Virtualdub 1.6.5 which it did open for me. THe problem is here. When I use either the preview input or preview filtered the picture is very pixelated with squares. Obviously that isn't going to make a very good DVD!! To check out the original recorded TS stream I loaded it into Media Player Classic 6.4 and it played flawlessly. Not sure which program or action my problem is coming from, but it doesn't appear to be the original TS stream. Anyone take a whack at this please??

Let me know if I left out some information that may be needed to troubleshoot--kind of new to this--yes I'll admit I'm a NOOB!!

Moderators,
Unless someone here can take a stab at my problem I guess you can move this post to the DGInex forum. I just opened up DGIndex and found an option to load a project file .d2v which I did, then preview or play that file, which I did, and it was badly pixelating already there. So I guess my problem has been isolated to what DGInex is doing to my TS Stream. Maybe Neuron2 can take a look at my problem.

Thanks!!

First try doing it without patching with DVD Patcher.

Then try beta DGMPGDec 1.3.1b3 and report back. If it is still a problem, post a link to a fragment of the original TS (unpatched by DVD Patcher).

Me bad!!
I tried downloading your 131b3 beta and had the same results. Then I "unpatched" back to 544X480 and ran DGIndex again and this time the d2v file played perfectly in both the DGIndex "play" window and also when previewing in VirtualDub. I thought I had already tried unpatching, but obviuosly not--what a moron!!

My question now is, if you can help, 544X480 will not be formatted correctly for DVD. Any idea when I could use the "patch" program to change it to 720X480 for DVD standards??

Thanks Neuron2 for dealing with idiots like me!!!

You can't change size by patching. You have to use a resizer filter. Add this at the end of your Avisynth script:

LanczosResize(720,480)
