Decomb521VFR issue...

[Blanchimont]

Using Decomb521VFR to encode a hybrid source to get smooth motion in both film and video parts in the final encode, however...

For some reason the video parts get a narrow black border left/right?

From the script; (deinterlaces/decimates the film parts while leaving video untouched...)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521VFR1.3_P4-Athlon.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\dgdecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\fieldhint.dll")


DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("path\d2v")

Telecide(order=1,guide=0,blend=true)
Decimate(mode=4,threshold=1.0,timecodes="timecodes.txt",vfrstats="vfrstats")

I know I could crop the entire encode, but as film is main fodder of it, I'd end up losing more for less. So is there any filters to remove (black)borders from only video parts of an encode without messing up the rest of it?
On a note those borders aren't present on the DVD/VOB
Also on a note the VOB is 720x480(3:2) and DAR 4:3

I assume the diagnosis/solution is easy enough, but I'm still lacking experience on this field... Thanks for any help in advance.

There's nothing in the filter chain that would do that. So please post a link to an unprocessed sample of your VOB that we can use to duplicate the issue.

Ya that's rite ... :thanks:

The black borders don't show when playing back the DVD or when playing the VOBs in certain players, they certainly show when processing said vobs.

Just Crop(left, top, -right, -bottom). If parts of the video had different border's widths, then use crop in combination with trim and a resizer, like this:

source.trim(0,1000).crop(2,0,-2,0).lanczosresize(720,480) + source.trim(1001,5000).crop(0,6,-2,0).lanczosresize(720,480) + source.trim(5001,10000).crop(-2,2,0,6).lanczosresize(720,480) + ...

You're messing up the AR by doing this...

Yeah, though it's not noticeable. I am just answering to the first poster's question (I understood that only some sections of the video have black borders).

Just curious here, but why are you not using TIVTC?
