AVS2.5a, AddBorders, FluxSmooth and Con3d

[Boulder]

Hi,

I've tried to switch to 2.5a recently but there's one thing that still keeps me using the old faithful 2.0x : I can't add borders. I do mostly YUY2 TV captures, converting them to VCD. If I do a standard resize from 720x576 to 352x288 , everything works fine. However, if I resize to 336x272 and add borders of 8 pixels to each side, I just get a green screen. Is there a workaround?

I also noticed that I can't use FluxSmooth or Convolution3d before resize, they have to be after resizing or else VDubMod will give an access violation when seeking in the clip and TMPGEnc shows the same error message in the preview window when I start encoding. What could cause this kind of behaviour?

Every resolution I've used has been mod 4, so I don't know what to try next. If I just got the borders working, I'd be switching to 2.5 permanently.

Thanks in advance.

I've noticed same kind of things with fluxsmooth (using mod8 resolutions).

Convolution3D for Avisynth 2.5 is for now limited to mod-8 width (As stated in the .txt file). That's maybe why you got strange results.

I've been very very busy lately and I think I won't have any time to fix it till Xmas holidays (unfortunately). Sorry for this.

All the resolutions are mod 8 so I don't know what the problem is. It could be that the source is not native YV12, I have converted it with ConverttoYV12.

If you could provide more details (perhaps a method with which I can replicate the problem) I'd be very grateful :).

SansGrip, I can't seem to be able to reproduce the problem. I tried different methods but can't crash either of the programs:D I'm not sure what could cause this kind of random problem but for the time being it seems to be gone. However, adding those 8-pixel borders still doesn't work :devil:

If the problem shows up again, I'll get you some details and a Huffyuv sample as well.

@SansGrip

I will try to tell you more tomorrow (I spent some time playing with asharp last evening; I will play with fluxsmooth - I like it - this evening !)

Regards

FuPP.

@vlad59:

And what If I use Convolution3DYV12 before cropping? Original movie width and height are always multiple by 8, didn't they?
