Possible Bugs in Avi2svcd 1.08b1?

[rob77979]

I posted a msg a while back about avi2svcd transcoding a 720x480 4:3 avi (Indeo 5.06) as letterboxed 16:9.

Some helpful people in this forum suggested I use one of the "Edit the Avisynth Script File" options, and delete the "Borders" line.

I did, and this worked, but I suggested that this line shouldn't have been there, and someone came back with the suggestion that it could be a bug.

Actually, there are two lines in the avs file which suggest that avi2svcd doesn't pre-process my avi file properly:

1. The "borders" line.
2. SimpleResize(480,320) - Shouldn't this have been 480,480 for svcd?

DVD mpeg2 files are 720X480, and they get resized to 480,480.....

Thanks

Line 2 is assuming that you were adding borders.
The addborder line should have read something like:
addborder(0.00,60,0.00,60) or something.
If you add the two 60's to the 320 you get 480.

I am sure DVD2SVCD is looking into it, but I wonder how specific the problem is. With Avi's having all kinds of codecs and such I am assuming it might be troublesome reading the files correctly all the time. I don't program so I can only guess based on the type of problems I see here. Avi resize seems to be a somewhat common discussion.

I am glad that manually editing the AVS file worked for you and it proved to be a fairly easy edit. Sometimes DVD2SVCD seems to be way off.
