New feature or Already Possible?

[Vespers]

I have been reading with great interest some of the avisynth scripts that I have seen here. I have tried a few and inconjunction with fitcd my burns have never looked or fit better. What I would like to know is, if it is possible to add some script lines(maybe macro substitute them thru a batch file) so that you would not have to manually edit it. I tend to encode all my movies the same way and really like the DVD2SVCD 1 click solution. This is the script that I use on almost 90% of my encodes:
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\PROGRA~1\DVD2SVCD\TEMP\preview.d2v")
TemporalSmoother(2,1)
BilinearResize(448,414,6,70,708,436)
AddBorders(0,33,0,33)
Trim(2,2).FadeOut(150)

Now I know TemporalSmoother is already put in as well as borders and Bilinear resize, but not at these specific sizes. Just wondered if it was possible or if not could something like the option to choose your own specifi resize and borders be added in the next version?

I'd say, once dvd2svcd has some extra time, that perhaps some of the cropping values could be entered in DVD2SVCD's frameserver tab. I think he might have something like this in mind, with the previewer, or something, but definately, this, along with a box for Sharpen, would allow me to press go and not edit the avs file later.

It would be a nice feature to have, but I think there are other things ahead on the list.

If you check the edit after DVD2AVI you will only need to wait a few minutes to be able to edit. It will allow you to edit the Avs file before the more time consuming audio conversion etc...

Since I do edit the Avs file in almost every encode now it would be really nice to have edit the Avs file first on the list of things DVD2SVCD does.

I found a work-around for those who are interested. It seems the script is written as soon as the ripping process begins. After the ripping process is started just go to your DVD2SVCD directory and there should be a Temp directory there, in that directory is a file called preview.avs just edit it with the script settings that you like then save it. Then go to your main directory where your project file is kept and edit the AviSynth_Script_file.avs to match the editing you did in the preview.avs file. Let the ripping process continue and you won't have to be there to manually edit the Avisnyth script file when the dvd2avi processing is done. Almost forgot make sure you set no editing in the frameserver tab....Cheers...

Strange. I am 100% sure that I make the AVS script just before I execute CCE (or tmpgenc) overwriting any existing AVS scripts.

I'll try it again just to make sure, maybe it was just a fluke. I know the script I put in worked because my borders are half the size of the default ones(ie 33 vs 60 as generated by the default.)I am sure you are right,(obviously since you coded this program) just not sure how or why it worked. Guess I'll just have to wait for future enhancements......

if you get the idea of this tread then you can easely make what you just asked, but when you make it working , share with all of us ;)

What does the Trim and FadeOut command do?
Hmmz, I would sure like a AVS scripting guide on doom9.
