Add Black Borders

[Strigoyu]

Hi, mates! I've got a question: I want to turn an .avi file into MPEG-2 format. The problem is that my .avi file is 704x384, so I need to add black border in to order to make a DVD compliant .m2v file and then mux with the AC3 audio file. So, my question is... how could I do that? I tried with "BorderControl" avisynth filter, but all I got is green borders, not black borders. Moreover, aspect ratio doesn't seem to be the correct one. Could anyone help me, please, and tell me what should I do? Thanks in advance!

AddBorders() should do the trick. By deafult it's black but you can define a hex value I believe.

Hi! Thanks for your reply. Could you please be more accurate? This is my whole script:

Wow, that's quite a script - you may be better posting in the AVISynth Forum. Do you need all of that? What resolution is your source AVI?

@Strigoyu

Since your source file has been created with Gordian Knot I assume that your source AVI has square pixels. When you convert this into the DVD MPEG2 format (which does not use square pixels), you have to apply some math to get the correct aspect ratio.

Fortunately you do not need to make the calculation yourself, Jsoto wrote a nice little calculator for this purpose. Download here:

In your case the script should contain the following 2 lines:
LanczosResize(720,418)
AddBorders(0,79,0,79)

Hi, mates! All I can say is that the original file aspect ratio is 704x384. Hope this can help to you all (in order to be able to help me, of course).

P.S.: Are you Spanish, manolito?

Sorry I'm from Berlin, Germany...
But I do have a Spanish uncle :cool:

Did you try Jsoto's formula?
