Question about a script for converting PAL to NTSC

[Talayero]

Hi,

I recently converted using CCE a pal short film because I wanted to add it as an extra to a ntsc dvd.

The conversion was OK but I'm wondering if I trimmed a bit of the image, because of a wrong avisynth script.

This is the script I used:

Loadplugin ("d:\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source ("short.d2v")
lanczosresize (720,480)
converttoyuy2 (interlaced=true)

I thought that with this script I would preserved the totality of the image but now I think a bit is missing, I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Is the clip interlaced video or progressive film? If it's progressive, the (Interlaced = True) is unnecessary when converting to YUY2. More so, if it's progressive, you need to change the framerate from 25 to 29.97...

If it's interlaced, you need to bob first, then resize, change the framerate, then reinterlace to the new frame size...

Progressive
Loadplugin ("d:\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source ("short.d2v")
lanczosresize (720,480)
converttoyuy2 ()
SeparateFields ().SelectEvery (8, 0,1, 2,3,2, 5,4, 7,6,7).Weave () #film-to-NTSC conversion
AssumeFPS (30000, 1001)

Progressive
Loadplugin ("d:\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source ("short.d2v")
Bob () # Use a quality bobber here, such as SecureBob or MVBob, etc...
ChangeFPS (60000, 1001) # or ConvertFPS or MVConv...
lanczosresize (720,480)
converttoyuy2 ()
AssumeTFF ().SeparateFields ().SelectEvery (4, 0, 3).Weave ()

PS. what do you mean by trimming a bit of the image? Has the image cropped itself when you play it back?
