2.35:1 resizing. Something isn't right...

[moztof]

I am using AVISynth 2.0.6, CCE 2.5sp, and DVD2AVI. In DVD2AVI i have everything set up as normail: Forced Film, IDCT at 64bit, Color Space YUV, No Luminance, No Clip or Resize.

LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
Crop(0,60,720,360)
BicubicResize(480,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)

This doens't look quite right. It looks like the borders are all on top. There is a larege black bar at the top and a thin border at the bottom.

I also tired not to resize at all and get two interlaced frames.


LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
BicubicResize(480,360)

I tried the above script and it looks fine, but not SVCD standard. I am not sure how it will look on my standalone.

I have everyhting set in CCE (the Video Section) as it should, so I think. I set the DAR to 16:9 and all the settings according to what the BitrateVieweer told me about the video: Progrsive Scan, Top Field first, ZiZag.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
Crop(0,60,720,360)
BicubicResize(480,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)

Strange! But I don't quite understand what you are doing. I guess you are trying to make an anamorphic SVCD. You are sure your dvd-player can play that?

If you are going for a letterbox SVCD you have to resize to 480x272 (if your cropping is indeed correct) and add borders ending up with 480x480.

Can you make the following script

LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
Crop(0,60,720,360)

and open it in VDub. Are there any black bars left?

I am thinking it is going to be an anamorphic SVCD. I haven't tried your VDUB test, but I did view it in Windows MEdia Player. It didn't have any bars and looked fine. I also checked out the crop, resize and addborders script in Meadia Player and that looked fine to. It just seems once it encodes it doens't look right in media player. All of my other encodes have looked fine, but I have not done any work with a 2.35:1 film. I did not test any of the encodes on my DVD-Player.

More faster and without bugs. Use IDCT 32 SSEMMX


LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
Crop(0,60,720,360)
BicubicResize(480,360)

The most DVD are anamorphic. The image are elonged a 30% in vertical.
Best scrip:
LoadPlugin("C:\Video_Tools\Plugins\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\Movies\Rip\Movie.D2V")
BicubicResize(480,360)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)

Best set is DAR 4:3. You can see any change but is more rigth

First more information, PAL or NTSC??

If PAL then SVCD has 480x576, 576 not 360 + 60x2 = 480 height!

For Anamorphic 2.35:1 zoom to 2:1.

NTSC:
BicubicResize(480,320,0,0.5,56,60,608,360)
AddBorders(0,80,0,80)

PAL:
BicubicResize(480,384,0,0.5,106,60,506,360)
AddBorders(0,96,0,96)

But most anamorphic 2:35 PAL films have a heigt=424, then
BicubicResize(480,384,0,0.5,62,28,596,424)
AddBorders(0,96,0,96)

Computed with FitCD 1.0.4

[moztof]

Thanks all for your suggestions. Sorry I didn't specify NTSC, but I assumed from the 480x360 you would have picked up on NTSC. I will try out a few things and get back to you all. Thanks again.

Use the latest 1.0.5 . The 1.0.4 version has a nasty bug, but I don't remember what it was...
