dvd2svcd 1.08 b1 creates different avisynth_files?

[Belgarad]

How does dvd2svcd create the avisythn_file.avs file?
I have 2 pc's both running dvd2svcd (same version 1.08 b1)
Because of problems in the final svcd, i spent a look and found differences in the generated avisythn_file.avs, that caused my probs:

PC1: (this caused my trouble, because of the resizing)
LoadPlugin("D:\APPS\DVD2SVCD\SIMPLE~1\SIMPLE~1.DLL")
LoadPlugin("D:\APPS\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\Daten\Video\DVD2SV~1\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
SimpleResize(480,432)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)
ResampleAudio(44100)

PC2: (this works always fine)
LoadPlugin("D:\APPS\DVD2SVCD\SIMPLE~1\SIMPLE~1.DLL")
LoadPlugin("D:\APPS\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\Daten\Video\DVD2SV~1\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
SimpleResize(480,576)
ResampleAudio(44100)

So how does dvd2svcd create the *.avs. Why does this happen?

pc 1 : encoding with 16:9 adding borders
pc 2 : encoding with 4:3 no borders

thx.
Well i used a 480x576 4:3 mpeg file and did a crash reovery. So it should not have taken the parameters mentioned above.

So where does it either store the information or when/how does it determine these settings?

It's on the conversion tab. In 1.08.1 you have three options always. In 1.09.1 you have two options with basic and 3 options with advanced. Most people have issues with the 16:9 no borders option so it was removed from the basic setup.

You need to be sure the aspect ratio is correct for you movie on the conversion tab. This is what controls the borders and the encoding method.

For a very detailed explanation see either the Q + A or the DVD2SVCD guide and FAQ.
