divx to dvd

[erwan]

i'm trying to re encode a divx movie to a dvd.
i use avisynth + cce for i want to resize my movie.

this is where i get a pb.

here is my avs script :

AVISource("G:\EP6 Le Retour du Jedi FR LASERDISC.avi")
BicubicResize(720,318,0,0.75)
AddBorders(0,129,0,129)
ResampleAudio(44100)

the divx is 544x240
i want 720x576

so i resize preserving ratio (318 = 240 * 720/544)
and i add borders at top/bottom : 576 - 318 = 258 / 2 = 129
it plays fine is media player.

but the addborders makes CCE crash with the following error :
"avistreamread() failed (0x80044074): buffer is too small".
if i comment the addborders statement, cce goes fine.

and finally, the resize filter (simpleresize, bilinear ou bicubic) makes the final movie all screwy : looks like every line shifts from one pixel on the right .... :(

any idea?
if anyone already re encoded a divx to dvd with resizing on the fly thru avs, i'd be glad to hear his experience.

Which versions of CCE and Avisynth are you using?

I have done this with CCE 2.5 and AviSynth v 2.0.4 and it works perfectly.

possibly easier is to drop the avi straight in tmpgenc and it will do the resizing and letterbox for you nicely.

Just did a short MPEG 1 without audio with the following settings:


avisource("D:\SH0DAN\MPG\Ice Age.avi").converttoyuy2()
trim(0,1000)
resampleaudio(44100)
BicubicResize(720,318,0,0.75)
addborders(0,129,0,129)


And it worked perfectly. Be sure to create a NEW profile in CCE - if you loaded a previous ecl, it's caching the size, and that will lead to what you describe. BTW, used 2.05.

shodan,
i followed your advice.
i used cce 2.50 + avisynth 2.5.
wrote my avs like yours (minus the trim part of course ...) and everything went fine !

i'm not sure i should blame avisynth but rather a messy system.
reinstalling avisynth did me good i think.

thx a lot 4 your support.

what is messy? avisynth or your system? avisynth is clean as pie (whatever that means).

But like sh0dan said, that error seems to be the same as I get when I try Robshot's method and change too many parameters.

...why in the hell would u convert a divx to dvd?
in term of quality it's an astonish choice.
Why not burn divx on dvdR?
Don't u have a tv output?
