Crop and Center Video

[Smithee]

I want to crop a considerable amount of garbage from the right side and bottom of a video and then have the entire video centered within a 720x480 DVD frame. I can do this right in VDub using the external Canvas Size filter (.vdf), but how would I do this in a script?

Note that I don't want to resize the cropped video in any way--just center it.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks.

Crop() (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Crop)
AddBorders() (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/AddBorders)

(both are links)

Yes, I know about these. Your post inferred it could be done so I experimented again.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most difficult: I wasn't dividing the AddBorders numbers so the video ended up centered.

Crop(16,0,-8,-16) #696x464
AddBorders(12,8,12,8)

Another baby step for me.

Norton warned me that this is a suspicious site. I had time to try the calculator before Norton warned me again and kicked me off.

well, can't really be bothered with 'why', especially after visiting http://us.norton.com/support/dtree.jsp?pvid=

Nathan: Hi, I'm Nathan and I'm here to help...

me: hi, I'am /me and amazing, amazing, I'am actually alive...

:stupid:

p.s. To me it appears that norton offers a half-brain-damaged robots for crawling sites and they also want to "sell me" their virtual agent for additional "help"..., I would strongly reconsider buying anything from them again (Maybe they are all virtual?).
p.s.2. after some additional research it appears that risk evaluation is done in a way of collecting data from other subdomains based on same domain, like if domain is : muki.com, and user1 has a nasty page at maki.muki.com, then they think that user2 may have a dangerous site at mynicesite.muki.com, well...

edit2: sorry for offtopic, but I thought a thing like that must be fixed.
edit3: actually this may be interesting to get some additional money, any experience with suing big nasty companies, what should i read?

Yes, off topic, but let's finish this off: Norton didn't warn me on my second visit to both links.
