In another thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23821), I had a question related to X(S)VCD video resize. DVD2SVCD promtly answered in a positive way, and stated the following :. add an option to use X(S)VCD, i.e. to chooze horizontal and vertical number of pixels, rather than manually edit .avs script. Seems some people are in need of this (higher resolution or DVD compatibility).Huge problem. CCE will not accept all types of resize. However, I have in the next version 3 sizes to choose from: DVD (full size), SVCD, and VCD (half size)Thanks to hard work from DVD2SVCD, the latest DVD2SVCD build 1.0.9 now offers following video resize options :
. SVCD (480 x 576/480)
. DVD (720 x 576/480)
. VCD (352 x 288/240)
I read in other threads that some people are in love with the intermediate DVD format. For them, the cherry on the cake would be to have an additional option :
. half DVD (352 x 576/480)
I have a question related to CCE. I read in the user's guide that CCE is normally handling full DVD pictures (720 x 576/480), with options to use half horizontal (352 = 720/2 rounded to be multiple of 16) and half vertical (288/240). So, I can understand how DVD, VCD and half DVD could be handled by CCE. But what about SVCD (480 horizontal) ?
I made trials with DVD2SVCD with the 3 different resize options (SVCD, DVD, VCD), to check if they play on my standalone DVD player. Everything OK. Looking in the .avs, .ini, ... files, I noticed that apparently the resize is handled only in the .avs script, and that the CCE options "use half horizontal/vertical" are apparently not used. Is this correct ?
Finally, I tried to manually generate a half DVD. I use DVD2SVCD with SVCD option checked, used the option "edit the avisynth script file before encoding" and changed the resize value to (352, 576). I got a video playing OK on both my software and standalone DVD players, but the subtitles were not resized, hence were too large and the end of the sentences were cut ... and pasted on the left side. Just for info.
