FitCD use

[relative]

Hi,
recently i began to use this wonderful program (FitCD) but i still cannot understand how resize correctly my SVCD with this tool.
I have a 4:3 TV & resizing my SVCDs i leave all default FitCD settings.
When i play SVCDs in my DVD player i have to manually switch to 16:9 emulation for viewing the correct sized frames.
If i use instead this set of avisynth commands (4 PAL):
BicubicResize(480, 432)
AddBorders(0, 72, 0, 72)
I obtain perfectly resized frames.
Does anybody could explain me how obtain same results using FitCD?
Thank u very much.

Depends on your source, is it:

[list=1]
dvd 4:3
dvd 16:9
analog/digital capture
[/list=1]

In the first two cases, how much black borders can your crop (top and bottom)?

In the last case, you have to crop to 720x564 (or 720x548) and resize to 448x560 (or 448x544) and add black borders to obtain 480x576.

I need to know how resize a 16:9 DVD source having progressive frames, so i fall into:
2) dvd 16:9

How should i know how many black borders could i crop? (not so clear to me).
Thx

Open the first vob in dvd2avi and create a d2v-file. Open this d2v-file in AviSynth (see AviSynth Q&A, Q13, if you don't know how to) and save it as filename.avs. Finally open the avs-file in VirtualDub and select the filter null-transform and press cropping.

Understood, in this way i know how much black borders i have to crop, and then if i report these values into FitCD (section borders to crop or so) should i obtain what i want? (perfect resize).
Thx again

Yeah, in the "codec film pixel" (enter the size without the black borders). (note that you must check "PAL" and "anamorphic") What movie are you doing?

Black Hawk Down & Behind enemy lines

I will take a guess:

According to Amazon:
Behind Enemy Lines (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/dvd/B00005JKL8/tech-info/ref=pm_dp_ln_d_2/104-3431463-6429516)

both of the movies are "anamorphic wide screen 2.35:1". That implies that your new width must be 720*59/54/2.35 = 336.

The black borders part:
576*16/9 / 2.35 = 436 (thus you will have 576-436=140 black borders)
(if that's not the case, let me know!)

Thus crop to 720x436 and resize to 480x336.
