Crop DVDs

[IYG]

Hi all,
I have a DVD but I don't know what happened with it.
This is a screen shot:

Is there any program that I can use to create a new DVD without the black parts?
When I used autogk, it automatically cut all of them. So I wonder if there is any program like that for DVD.
Thank you :thanks:

DVDREbuilder includes an AviSynth Filter Editor, it's the only direct option. (you need to know the basics of scripting avisynth)

P.S. what a grotty edition!
P.S.2: In an standalone player the image is the same ? Maybe you have a wrong player setup.

ya, the image is the same.
I don't know how to use AviSynth Filter Editor.
Is there any easier way?

No, but it's not that hard. Look at this:
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/LanczosResize

That command (or filter) do crop and resize. If the original aspect ratio is 4:3 full frame, you only need it:

LanczosResize(target_width, target_height, src_left, src_top, src_width, src_height)

with scr you define the crop (area of original image to retain), and target define the resize (final image). For example (for ntsc): LanczosResize(720,480,50,25,620,430)

If it is not 4:3 full frame, you also need http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/AddBorders

You have to capture a dvd frame, not a screen frame.

DVDREbuilder: Options Tab (right side) : Filter Editor : where you
write that command
Menu Mode : Check Force Reencoding (for filters)
if your source is dvd5
and do a normal back up with it.
