AutoFitCD and D2SCCD Plugin

RB · 29th January 2003, 19:24

Hi,

AutoFitCD v1.5 is out. This is a plugin for DVD2SVCD that will provide you with most accurate cropping and resizing, optionally (macro)block and TV overscan optimized. Saves bitrate and can speed up encoding.

Download AutoFitCD v1.5

You'll also need the famous FitCD tool, get it here: http://d.moyon.free.fr/CCE/FitCD_v112.zip

EDIT
Please note : AutoFitCD is designed to work with FitCD 1.1.2, I'm sorry to say that there will be no updates for newer FitCD versions. Anyway, the source code is included and free so if somebody wants to update it to support the latest FitCD, please go ahead!

AutoFitCD Crop and Resize Plugin for DVD2SVCD v1.5 by RB

1. What's this?
---------------

AutoFitCD is a plugin for DVD2SVCD (see
http://www.dvd2svcd.org) that seamlessly integrates FitCD, the
most powerful MPEG resizing and cropping utility (see
http://shh.dvdboard.de/) with DVD2SVCD. Black borders are
automatically cropped before resizing and you'll get all the
advantages of FitCD such as super accurate cropping and block
optimized resizing, optionally optimized for TV overscan,
without having to edit the AVISynth script in DVD2SVCD
manually. Overall, this will allocate more bitrate to the
actual motion area and can speed up encoding by as much as 10%.


2. How to install
-----------------

Simply run AutoFitCDSetup.exe and follow the instructions.
AutoFitCD requires FitCD, get it first from
http://shh.dvdboard.de/. The plugin, Readme and source code
will be installed to a AutoFitCD subdirectory in your DVD2SVCD
installation folder. Note that this plugin supports both
AVISynth 2.0.x and 2.5.x but you need to reinstall it after
switching AVISynth versions.

Please also read the FitCD documentation.


3. Usage
--------

Start DVD2SVCD, go to the Frameserver tab and select "AutoFitCD
Detect Borders" from the Avisynth Setup dropdown. Now go to the
Conversion tab, load the AVI/IFO/DVD and click "Go! - Preview
video". There will be lines indicating where AutoFitCD detected
black borders. Click "New Frame" until the motion area is
properly detected. If it is an overall very dark movie and the
motion area is not being well detected, lower the Borders
Threshold value at the bottom of the preview window (0-255,
default is 25).

Now click the "AutoFitCD >>" button in the preview window and
FitCD will be launched with all the correct settings (motion
area and borders detected during the preview, source and target
aspect ratio etc.). The preview window will automatically
update to reflect the optimized cropping and resizing
calculated by FitCD.

Note that there are two modes of operation. If your screen
resolution is lower than 1024x768, FitCD will run in a separate
window ("Standalone"). The only settings we are interested in
are the ones in the lower "MPEG Resizing" and "AviSynth Script"
area. If your screen resolution is 1024x768 or higher, FitCD
will be run in "Plugin" mode, meaning that the controls in the
above mentioned area will appear in the DVD2SVCD preview window
below the video preview, making it much more convenient to work
with the preview and FitCD controls. You can force either
Plugin or Standalone mode by editing the "Plugin" value in the
[FitCD] section of AutoFitCD.ini. 0 means Standalone, 1 means
Plugin and -1 is automatic depending on screen resolution (the
default).

You can now change settings in FitCD and the preview will
automatically update accordingly (note that the destination
resolution combo box in FitCD will be disabled unless you
switch the DVD2SVCD level to 'Advanced' on the Misc. tab). The
"Save custom AVS" (Standalone)/"Edit AviSynth Script" (Plugin)
button need only be used if you want to save a manually edited
AVISynth script, all other changes in the GUI are automatically
transferred to DVD2SVCD (for instance, try modifying the TV
overscan setting and watch the video preview). Note that if you
change some setting in the FitCD GUI, any manual modifications
you made to the AVISynth script will be lost.

If you are satisfied with the results, close the preview window
and start your encode (Go - Rip and convert/Start conversion).

Note that on the Frameserver Tab, the selected setup is now
"FitCD", which is the (relevant parts of) the AVISynth script
generated by FitCD. Note that this setup cannot be used for any
other movie but the one you have currently loaded, make sure to
start over with "AutoFitCD Detect Borders" for every new movie.


4. Known issues
---------------

- Requires DVD2SVCD 1.1.0 build 1 or later
- Tested with FitCD v1.1.2 only (the latest version as of
  writing this), but should work with older/newer versions.


5. Help!

If you feel like you absolutely need to contact me directly,
again register at http://forum.doom9.org and send member RB
(me) a private message.


6. Freeware
-----------

AutoFitCD is freeware and source is released under GPL. It is
based on the AutoCrop AVISynth plugin by Glenn Bussell
available at http://www.videofringe.com/autocrop/. Thanks,
Glenn!


7. Notes
--------

Setup adds two AVISynth script sections, [AVISYNTH_AutoFitCD
Detect Borders] and [AVISYNTH_FitCD] to the default
DVD2SVCD.INI file. If you use multiple INI files, copy and
paste these sections to the other INI file(s), start DVD2SVCD
and load the INI file on the Misc. tab. Now go to the
Frameserver tab and select the AutoFitCD Detect Borders
Avisynth setup. Click the "..." button to the right of the
second line and modify the INI path to point to the INI file
you just loaded. You only need to do this once for each INI.

The AutoFitCD plugin uses an extended version of the original
AutoCrop plugin's parameter list, the first six parameters are
new so the original parameter list is shifted by six and I
modified a few defaults. You can still modify the original
AutoCrop parameters by editing DVD2SVCD.INI, see the Readme in
the download at http://www.videofringe.com/autocrop/.


8. History

       - added support for DVD2SVCD 1.2.1 build 1 and newer


12/05/2003 v1.4a

       - improved detection of source video parameters for
         AVI sources (AVI2SVCD)
       - when PAL (source) is unchecked and PAL (destination)
         is being checked/unchecked in AutoFitCD preview,
         'NTSC To PAL' option in DVD2SVCD is now automatically
         checked/unchecked accordingly


25/03/2003 v1.4

       - Added support for AVISynth 2.5

       - Fixed: sometimes, when Aspect ratio was set to
         "Anamorphic (no borders, encoded as 16:9)" in DVD2SVCD,
         FitCD would calculate an incorrect cropping area which
         resulted in a distorted image.


04/03/2003 v1.3b

       - Removed support for AVISynth 2.5. It didn't work.
         Once DVD2SVCD supports AVISynth 2.5, I'll add it

Hi,

D2SCCD v1.3d is out, a plugin for DVD2SVCD that will let you use pictures from your movies for the Change CD picture, add audio to the title picture and more.

Code:

DVD2SVCD Change CD Picture (D2SCCD) 1.3d by RB
==============================================

Release : 1.3d
   Date : Monday, May 12, 2003


1. What's this?
2. How to install
3. Settings

7. History


1. What's this?
---------------

D2SCCD is an utility you can use with DVD2SVCD (see
http://www.dvd2svcd.org) to dynamically generate "Change CD
Pictures" during DVD2SVCD's conversion process.

With D2SCCD installed, if you set up DVD2SVCD to use a Change
CD Picture, then for each (but the last, of course) CD image
file DVD2SVCD builds, D2SCCD will create a Change CD Picture
from either the last movie frame on the current CD or the
first movie frame on the next CD (see 2. How to install). It
will also put some configurable text on that picture. All you
need to do is to install D2SCCD as described below, configure
it, and your CD image files created by DVD2SVCD will use this
"movie based" Change CD Picture.

To make a long story short, the visual effect of this is that
at the time the current CD has finished playing, the movie
pauses and your custom "Need next CD" text is being displayed.

This is something I wanted for my SVCDs for a long time. It's
a pity we have to change CDs most of the time, I think this
makes it a little more bearable :-)

D2SCCD can also "fix" DVD2SVCD's handling of Title and Last CD
pictures and add audio to your Title pictures, see
"3. Settings", below.


2. How to install
-----------------

Simply run D2SCCDSetup.exe and follow the instructions. The
plugin, Readme and source code will be installed to a
D2SCCD subdirectory in your DVD2SVCD installation folder.


3. Settings
-----------

 ---Preview---

 The Preview frame provides a preview as to how a a
 dynamically generated Change CD picture with text will look
 like.

 ---Text Settings---
 
 Enter the text you want to place on each generated Change CD
 picture. Note that as shown in the default Text Setting, you
 can use the %d token to insert the next CD number at runtime.
 For instance, for a 3 CD movie, if you enter "Need CD %d,
 please..." in the Text box, you'll see

 Need CD 2, please...
 Need CD 3, please...

 on your screen when you play the movie and it's time to
 change CDs. If the text is too long to fit into a single
 line, it will be wrapped automatically. You can force a line
 break using an '\n' in your text (example: Please insert disk
 %d...\n\nCome on, get up!)

 Click "Font..." to choose a different font for the text,
 check "Drop Shadow" to add a drop shadow effect to the text.

 ---Picture Frame---

 Select which frame from the film to use for the Change CD
 pictures. This can be either the last frame on the current CD
 or the first on the next CD. If you want to use the latter,
 you should uncheck "CD Overlap seconds" on the bbMPEG tab in
 DVD2SVCD, otherwise the "movie paused" effect is gone when
 the Change CD picture is displayed because the picture will
 be actually a few frames back.

 If you want a specific first/last picture frame, just use
 Frame Selection in DVD2SVCD and split at the desired frame.

 Note that D2SCCD will generate Change CD pictures only if you
 actually check "ChangeCD pic." on the CD Image tab in
 DVD2SVCD.

 ---Configuration---

 [ ] Integrate with DVD2SVCD

     This needs to be checked for D2SCCD to be called by
     DVD2SVCD during the CD image creation process so D2SCCD
     can do its work. If you put D2SCCD in the wrong directory
     (i.e. not a directory inside the DVD2SVCD folder), this
     option will be unavailable.

     Checking this option will actually change the 'VCDXBuild'
     path on DVD2SVCD's CD Image tab to point at D2SCCD.
     D2SCCD does it's work and then in turn calls VCDXBuild to
     generate images. As you may guess, this also means that
     D2SCCD is only useful if you mark the 'VCDXBuild' radio
     button in DVD2SVCD - CD Image tab.

 [ ] Handle Title Picture/Handle Last CD Picture

     This is a "fix" for DVD2SVCD's somewhat strange handling
     of Title and LastCD pictures. DVD2SVCD does some resizing
     and adds borders around the pictures which most of the
     times screws up the pictures aspect ratio and well, looks
     not so well. So if you check "Title picture" and/or
     "LastCD pic." on DVD2SVCD's CD Image tab and check the
     appropriate boxes in D2SCCD, D2SCCD will also take over
     the task of generating the Title/LastCD MPEG stills from
     the pictures you pointed at in DVD2SVCD. For best
     results, use 768x576 pictures for PAL SVCDs and 640x480
     pictures for NTSC SVCDs. Images should be true color and
     must be in the Windows Bitmap (.BMP) format.

 [ ] Add Audio to Title Picture

     This let's you play an MPEG-2 audio file while the Title
     picture is being displayed. While the audio plays, press
     either Next, Play, Return or key 1 on your remote to
     start the main movie. By default, the audio is played
     once and then after a 5 seconds delay the main movie
     starts automatically.

     For this to work, 'Title picture' has to be checked in
     DVD2SVCD on the CD Image tab and the audio file name must
     exist with the same file name as the Title picture, but
     an .MP2 extension. For example, if your Title picture in
     DVD2SVCD is C:\Program
     Files\DVD2SVCD\DefaultTitlePicture.bmp, then the expected
     audio file name is C:\Program
     Files\DVD2SVCD\DefaultTitlePicture.mp2. It doesn't harm
     if you check this option but the audio file doesn't
     exist, just audio won't be added to the Title picture
     then.

     Note that the audio file needs to be really an MP2 (MPEG
     Layer 2 Audio) file, it cannot be some other format
     renamed to *.mp2. You can use BeSweet that comes with
     DVD2SVCD to convert your favorite audio file to MP2.
     
     You may want to lower the CD sizes on DVD2SVCD's Bitrate
     tab a little bit (just type it in) if you plan on using
     larger audio files (~ more than 500 kB) because DVD2SVCD
     is unaware of the audio file addition which may result in
     slightly too large CD image files.

     [ ] Loop infinitely

         As you may guess, this plays the title audio forever
         in a loop. Press either Next, Play, Return or key 1
         on your remote to start the main movie.

 ---MPEG Stills Quality (kB)---

 This controls the maximum size (and thus quality) of the
 various Title/Last CD/Change CD MPEG "picture" stills
 generated by D2SCCD (still frames on SVCDs are not really
 pictures but special MPEG Still Picture streams). Leave this
 at maximum quality (200 kB) unless you get slightly too large
 CD image files. The MPEG stills will be usually smaller, but
 never larger than what you specify here.

 [ ] Hacked (force 480p)

     Force MPEG stills horizontal display size to be 480
     - standards say 540 or 720 but some DVD/SVCD players
     screw up with these values (check this if you are using
     the "VCD Header Trick" plugin).
     
     

Click OK to save your custom settings. Of course you can
re-configure D2SCCD this way at any time.

D2SCCD will log it's activities to file
D2SCCD_MJPEGTools_log.txt in the directory where the bin/cue
files are created. Tile/Change CD/Last CD Pictures (converted
to JPEG) generated by D2SCCD can be found in the 'Muxed'
folder of the current encode.


4. Known issues
---------------

 - picture quality will not be optimal for Win9x/ME users.
   Sorry, no fix for this unless I find some free high quality
   image resizing code so I no longer have to use StretchBlt()
   (Win9x/ME does not support the HALFTONE stretch blit mode
   which produces high quality images in NT/2000/XP).

6. Freeware
-----------

D2SCCD is freeware. No strings attached. D2SCCD was basically
written by "plugging it into" the DVD2AVI source code and also
uses Smalleranimal's free jpeglib library
(http://www.smalleranimals.com/jpegfile.htm). Source code for
D2SCCD is included and released under GPL. The MJPEGTools
included with D2SCCD are not written by me, they are a Win32
compilation of the MJPEG/Linux tools
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpeg), the binaries included
here can be found at ftp://ftp.vcdimager.org/pub/mjpegtools/.


7. History
----------

12/05/2003 v1.3d

       - Fixed: when set to handle title and last CD picture,
                created title and last CD picture in NTSC format
                even though DVD2SVCD performed a NTSC to PAL
                conversion.


22/04/2003 v1.3c

       - Reverted to MJPEGTools v1.6.0 because some people
         reported problems obviously caused by v1.6.1


04/03/2003 v1.3b

       - Added "Hacked" option to set MPEG stills horizontal
         display size to 480 (check this if you are using the
         "VCD Header Trick" plugin).


26/02/2003 v1.3a

       - Updated MJPEGTools to v1.6.1


29/01/2003 v1.3

       - Added: D2SCCD now better coexists with other
                VCDXBuild plugins. Install any other plugin
                first and then start d2sccd.exe and simply
                click OK.

       - Fixed: Title and Last CD pictures were not anamorphic
                when handled by D2SCCD and you created an
                anamorphic SVCD


09/01/2003 v1.2

       - Added: Title audio looping is now optional
       - Added: Change CD Text can now be multiple lines
       - Added: warning when title audio file cannot be found
       - Changed: Title audio file is now expected in
                  non-multiplexed MP2 format (*.mp2)
         

17/12/2002 v1.1

       - Added: handling of Title/Last CD pictures
       - Added: option to add audio to Title picture
       - Added: MPEG Stills quality setting
       - Added: Integrate with DVD2SVCD option (you no
                  longer need to change the VCDXBuild path in
                  DVD2SVCD manually)

       - Fixed: %d token was sometimes replaced by the
                number 2 in the .INI file when clicking OK
       - Fixed: preview was sometimes not properly repainted
                  

13/12/2002 v1.0

       - First release on Friday the 13th... :-)

Here's something you may found useful: if you installed AVISynth 2.07 or use the latest version of DVD2SVCD released today (it updates AVISynth to 2.07), edit line 8 of section [AVISYNTH_AutoFitCD Detect Borders] in dvd2svcd.ini as follows:

8=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom,$A0A0A0)

or use a color of your choice for the last parameter (like HTML color code). This will give you a better idea of what the real movie borders are because the borders that are added just to make the preview look nice will be in a different color.

@DVD2SVCD: I hope you don't mind me stealing the "Repaint frame" button in the preview window

in the new version, but since it's always disabled, I thought it was OK.

30th January 2003, 06:49

RB ,
thank you very much,it all is amazing!

RB · 30th January 2003, 09:06

@markrb: Thanks for making this sticky. BTW, I had attached a screenshot for each plugin and they doesn't show up yet. Is there something wrong with them?

Okay I've got d2sccd 1.3 working now with vcd header 0.4 and my images are being made, and the movie plays fine, I just have one problem left. My Title and Last CD pics are the correct one's, but my change cd pic is still the little white hand and cd. Im not getting the last frame of the first disk.
Also its probly just my standalone dvd player but my title change and last cd pics don't show up on my standalone dvd player
(Panasonic RV32) but they do on my computers dvd.

Quote:

If it is an overall very
dark movie and the motion area is not being well detected,
lower the Borders Threshold value at the bottom of the preview
window (0-255, default is 40).

Call me crazy/blind, but I can't seem to find this value anywhere. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. The movie I'm trying to convert isn't being detected well at all since it's so dark.

Also, when one goes to encode the movie, should the "aspect ratio" setting be set to "4:3 [No borders, encoded as 4:3]" even if the movie is 16:9? I don't remeber D2SVCD defaulting to that setting before, but now it does everytime with the AutoFitCD plugin. Or should I still leave it as "16:9 [Borders Added, Encoded as 4:3" if it is a 16:9 movie?

BTW, thanks for the great tools/plugins man!

@Forseti:
It should appear in the preview screen, left from the Sho DVD2SVCD button. Make sure to use the latest version of the plugin.

greets, winxi

You can edit DVD2SVCD.INI and change as follow

Quote:

[AVISYNTH_AutoFitCD Detect Borders]
0=# -= AutoFitCD Script by RB. Must be used in Preview mode only. =-
1=DVD2SVCDIniPath=!DVD2SVCDIniPath
2=FitCDExePath=!FitCDExePath
3=BorderThreshold=^b_threshold
4=LoadPlugin(!AutoFitCD.dll)
5=ConvertToYUY2()
6=AutoFitCD(DVD2SVCDIniPath, FitCDExePath, ^TargetWidth, ^TargetHeight, ^BorderTop, ^BorderBottom, threshold=BorderThreshold)
7=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight, 0.0, 0.6)
8=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
!DVD2SVCDIniPath=F:\Video\DVD2SVCD\dvd2svcd.ini
!FitCDExePath=F:\Video\FitCD_v112\FitCD.exe
!AutoFitCD.dll=F:\Video\DVD2SVCD\AutoFitCD\AutoFitCD.dll
^b_threshold=40

so you can modify the BorderThreshold value directly in DVD2SVCD Frameserver tab.
For the aspect ratio you have to choose the right aspect ratio, if your movie is 16/9 choose 16/9 border added encode as 4/3, if your movie is 4/3 choose 4/3 no borders encoded as 4/3.

Hmmm, that was really weird. I went and checked my DVD2SVCD.ini file, and i was mising quite a few lines in it (under the autofitCD area). I just uninstalled DVD2SVCD and deleted the plugins. Then did a reinstall of both, and it works fine now, and the "threshold" box is now there.

@NateDawg11:
Can you please post the first .XML file?

That shouldn't happen. Are you still having this problem after the reinstall?

@emilius256:
Please don't edit the [AVISYNTH_AutoFitCD Detect Borders] section! With the latest version of the Plugin, you can modify the borders threshold in the preview window.

emilius256 · 2nd February 2003, 21:23

Sorry RB, i didn't see it.
Thank you.

Yes, it may just be the new version of DVD2SVCD, who knows. Whenever I load up the .ifo though it automatically goes to "4:3 no borders added, encoded as 4:3" No biggie though.

RB, first of all, thank you very much for the plugin. I have read countless number of your posts. And since this is the first time I have posted directly to you, I will take the time to thank you personally for your great work around here!! People like you are the reason this Forum is so popular, Real People, with real knowledge, that are friendly enough to answer people who don't know any better.

Now on to the question, LOL!

I am an AVI2SVCD user. I have only done a couple of DVD encodes, usually just for test purposes. I have done hundreds of AVI2SVCD encodes Using D2S. I have developed my own technique, which first of all uses D2S as a front-end for AVIsynth. I then modify the AVS, to use in VDUB. Creating a Quantizer2 DIVX 5/WAV(AC3) file, that is already resized and filtered accordingly. I then feed the "Prepped" AVI file into D2S. I use the following script...

[AVISYNTH_BLANK]

This gives me speeds usually in excess of 2.0. Allowing a 6 pass, 2 hour movie to encode in 6 hours (Dual MP1600s). A final perfection to this Method, would be to crop the black bars from the prepped file, encode, and then add the black bars back. The problem with this is that when I use your script, it resizes the file. Is there a way to make it just cut the black borders and not resize?

RB Retired Join Date: Nov 2002 Posts: 1,349	Here's something you may found useful: if you installed AVISynth 2.07 or use the latest version of DVD2SVCD released today (it updates AVISynth to 2.07), edit line 8 of section [AVISYNTH_AutoFitCD Detect Borders] in dvd2svcd.ini as follows: 8=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom,$A0A0A0) or use a color of your choice for the last parameter (like HTML color code). This will give you a better idea of what the real movie borders are because the borders that are added just to make the preview look nice will be in a different color. @DVD2SVCD: I hope you don't mind me stealing the "Repaint frame" button in the preview window in the new version, but since it's always disabled, I thought it was OK.

winxi Moderator & Mediator Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Austria Posts: 242	@Forseti: It should appear in the preview screen, left from the Sho DVD2SVCD button. Make sure to use the latest version of the plugin. greets, winxi __________________ thanking DVD2SVCD for helping me to make the best SVCDs around!!!

Forseti Registered User Join Date: Jan 2003 Posts: 15	Hmmm, that was really weird. I went and checked my DVD2SVCD.ini file, and i was mising quite a few lines in it (under the autofitCD area). I just uninstalled DVD2SVCD and deleted the plugins. Then did a reinstall of both, and it works fine now, and the "threshold" box is now there.

And since this is the first time I have posted directly to you, I will take the time to thank you personally for your great work around here!! People like you are the reason this Forum is so popular, Real People, with real knowledge, that are friendly enough to answer people who don't know any better. Now on to the question, LOL! I am an AVI2SVCD user. I have only done a couple of DVD encodes, usually just for test purposes. I have done hundreds of AVI2SVCD encodes Using D2S. I have developed my own technique, which first of all uses D2S as a front-end for AVIsynth. I then modify the AVS, to use in VDUB. Creating a Quantizer2 DIVX 5/WAV(AC3) file, that is already resized and filtered accordingly. I then feed the "Prepped" AVI file into D2S. I use the following script... [AVISYNTH_BLANK] This gives me speeds usually in excess of 2.0. Allowing a 6 pass, 2 hour movie to encode in 6 hours (Dual MP1600s). A final perfection to this Method, would be to crop the black bars from the prepped file, encode, and then add the black bars back. The problem with this is that when I use your script, it resizes the file. Is there a way to make it just cut the black borders and not resize?
