PAL to NTSC problem with CCE

[fedge]

I got my avs script right and it works going into cce but the output is ALWAYS non ntsc resolution

720x576 etc not the 720x 480 its supposed to be.. wtf... unless i tell cce to resize to 720x480.. should i HAVE to do this shouldnt it follow the avs script and not alter the size or is it making it pal again since im using the 25fps setting.... dont get it

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("D:\Bog of Eternal\DVD_VIDEO\VTS_03_1.d2v")
FieldDeinterlace()
ConvertToYUY2()
LanczosResize(720,480)

like i said i did get a 720x480 output but i had to use cce resizing tool built into the encoder along with lanczos resize..

The framerate is still at 25fps so you need to:
a) Change the framerate to 23.976 or 29.976 (depends on your source)
b) Uncheck the "for DVD" option which enable you to encode to "non-standard" specs like ntsc resolution with pal framerate or viceversa... or push the max bitrate to 15 Mbps rather than max 9.8 Mbps.

no... dont use cce to correct framerate you used dgpulldown it corrects the flags so its proper ntsc 3ofps interlaced

If you want to use DGPulldown then go for option 2. Uncheck "For DVD" option in CCE and encode 720x480 at 25fps. Then apply the pulldown to the stream. With "For DVD" unchecked you can make non standard encodes.

if your source is PAL interlaced, use this AVS script...
----------------------------------------------------------
#Interlaced PAL-> Progressive NTSC
#without duration change (do not convert audio)
video = "F:\VIDEOS\VTS_02\VTS_02XXX.d2v"
LoadPlugIn("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\dgdecode.dll")
LoadPlugIn("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\smoothdeinterlacer.dll")
mpeg2source(video)
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
smoothdeinterlace()
Convertfps(23.976)
Lanczosresize(720, 480)
----------------------------------------------------------
And if your source is PAL progressive...

-----------------------------------------------------------
#Progressive PAL->NTSC
#without duration change (do not convert audio)
video = "F:\VIDEOS\VTS_02\VTS_02_PGC_06XXX.d2v"
LoadPlugIn("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source(video)
ConvertToYUY2()
Convertfps(23.976)
Lanczosresize(720, 480)
-----------------------------------------------------------

With convertfps command you can preserve the same time duration in the movie... (no audio encoding nor change subpictures times needed)
Take a look at this guide, it works excellent for me...
