Anyway to use 720 and 1080 material together?

[tomos]

in short, i re-encode to either divx or x.264 - 3 clips per dvd5. this works very well since i something like the following in an AVS script:

mpeg2source("clip1.d2v") ++ mpeg2source("clip2.d2v")++ mpeg2source("clip3.d2v")

this lets me do 1st and 2nd pass across all 3 eps together to make sure theres good distribution of bits (split after)

and now to the prob:

i have 3 clips i want to encode, but there is a mix of 720 and 1080 in there. e.g. 1st is 720p and the other 2 are 1080i

i know i could just encode the odd one seperately, but would like to know if theres anyway to alter this within the avs script so by the time i open it in vdubmod, they all appear as 1080?

is it possible to make an avs that effectively converts the 720 clip to a 1080 one and refer to that as a source?

p.s. sorry for the long post :)

If you have to, mpeg2source().lanczosresize(1920,1080) ++ ... would do it. That's the easy part. The hard part is mixing progressive and interlaced, and how you deal with that depends on how you're outputting to and how you're filtering.

ah, thanks. i was doubting avisynth would let me give different controls for different sources.

if it will let me, cant i just resize the 720 source, drop half the frames (which would only apply to the 720 source) and then apply my normal deinterlacing etc for the 1080 source?

so by the time its all done, they are effectively the same thing
