Newbie at this (take pity!).
Have a Pal progressive xvid (25 fps) in 704x288 (2.40:1). It was originally an American movie so I'd like to restore to correct slower run time, and burn for Ntsc dvd. The audio was mp3, so used Belight to convert to wav, then framerate to 23976, then to ac3.
The film DAR is suppose to be 2.35:1, but I've read sometimes its rounded to 2.40 when converting to avi. I don't know much about this, so after searching old threads, I came up with this script:
Addborders(8,96,8,96) #fill out to 720x480
LanczosResize(720,480)
BlindPP(quant=8, cpu2="xxxxxx", moderate_h=45, moderate_v=55) #someone used this to reduce macroblocking
AssumeFPS(23.976)
I did a sample in HC (set to 16:9), and it looked okay. I noticed the sides got slightly cut off until I add the "8" to borders.
If I'm totally wrong about this, I'd appreciate script suggestions to get it right.
