Capture vhs - settings

[x264N00b]

Why bad? It will be correct, and the PAR will still be 12:11.

Ewwww what I wrote in my post before was completely wrong of course. You are right. But I'm not sure if all player can handle unusual DAR's, what I read about it not all player can do.

What!
That youve said with the exotic resolution - ... i assumed too.
Because thats really tricky.
So how can i crop and do the resize thing to get the rid of this lines,
with a proper 4:3 on tv screen?
AND squared pixels 1:1?

Still the same questions again and again. You are trying to get your VHS captures done right since 3 years now, never thought of using a professional video transfer service? I mean all your wasted time... furthermore it will look better because of no moiré effect. This could be dot crawl artefacts too.
Why is your image with the codec settings still pending approval? Upload to workupload.com ;)

There are some different PAL standards but in the most usual case (4:3 PAL) the video is stored in 720x576 (SAR) in 5:4 aspect ratio. While playing the width gets stretched to 768 and the height stays the same. So 768x576 (DAR) 4:3 ratio.
How much the width get stetched is defined with the PAR (16:15). 720*(16/15)=768. This is called anamorphic format.

But vhs captures usually should have a PAR of 12:11. So you can just crop left, right, top, bottom with MOD2 I thinks and set PAR 12:11 (
confusingly --sar 12:11 in x264) in the encoder settings for x264 without using a resize filter.
Resize to PAR 1:1 / Square pixel means you remove the anamorphic format and resize the video from 720x576 to 768x576 or 720x540. If you crop you have to calculate the rigth width with the PAR again.

Qtgmc by the way needs YUY2, YV12 color format http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters#Deinterlacing

Script could look like this without resizing.

ConvertToYUV420()
ConvertBits(8)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC(preset="Fast", InputType=0, sourceMatch=3, sharpness=0.2, tr2=2, ediThreads=8)
Crop(10, 8, -10, -14)


And I not sure if all player will display it right with PAR 12:11 in 764x554? Just try it. Furthermore is a color conversation from full to limited needed?

Thx much.
Thats what i never know exactly, and my script was made from a guy in an other forum. That wasnt a good idea..hmm
He made it good, but didnt saw this fxucxixnxg lines..
And then all went crazy for me.

will try, and report the finish him video file is brutality good quality :)
