Add Bars in Avisynth

[loekverhees]

Hello,

I've a video, but it's too small. I want to have a 16:9 format video, but I won't have a video just stretched up to 16:9 format of course. So I want to add black borders (at top and bottom).

I want to do this with Avisynt (using the GUI AVSEdit). Does someone know how my avs-script should be?

Thnx in advance

Oddly enough, there's a function called AddBorders in avisynth. Its syntax is all in the manual and online on the wiki. ;)

assuming NTSC:

addborders(0,(480-last.height)/2,0,(480-last.height)/2)

for PAL, change the 480 to 576...

Assuming last.height is even that is.

Edit: In fact I made an avsi file to do resizes to dvd size just the other day.

You Import it by adding

import("C:\blah\blah\blah\FAVCResize.avsi")
to your script, and then just use:

FAVCResize(last, PAL)

or

FAVCResize(last, NTSC)

It assumes 4:3 aspect ratio for an apsect ratio of less than 1.75 and a 16:9 aspect ratio otherwise.
