Adding Borders for SVCD Encoding

[Merlink]

Hello...

I'd like to encode some anime into SVCD but i think i should add some borders at the edges of the pictures...

how can i do?

I use Avisynth 2.5.0 (YV12)

Thanks a Lot ^_^

Use letterbox() to black out parts of existing video.
Use Addborders() to add borders without overwriting existing video.

Tnx, i used this script:

#SVCD = 480x576
clip = AVIFileSource("i:\itarelease\[ita] scryed ep01 (knights).avi").bicubicresize(480,576).AddBorders(8,8,8,8)

return clip


but now i get a strange video...
All the Red colors, shifted to Blue and vice versa....

Where is my mistake? :D

Tnx again...

uhm...
I solved using DirectShowSource instead of AVIFileSource...

Use swapuv() - your file is probably DivX or MJPEG.

AviSource is in general more reliable than DirectShowSource

Ok, i changed the code to:
[code]
clip = AviFileSource("i:\itarelease\[ita] scryed ep01 (knights).avi", false, "YUY2").BicubicResize(464,560).AddBorders(8,8,8,8)

return clip
[/clip]

or

[code]
AviFileSource("i:\itarelease\[ita] scryed ep01 (knights).avi", false).BicubicResize(464,560).AddBorders(8,8,8,8)
[/clip]

or the 2 combined...

(I changed the fourcc to xvid and solved the colorshifted problem)

now:
Mediaplayer opens it correctly ... no problems here...
Tmpeg / cce returns error...invalid video file source or similar

Tnx agaaaaaaain :D

Hi-

I suspect your resize and addborders will wind up giving you bad AR. I might suggest you use FitCD (http://shh.dvdboard.de/) to give you the correct values.
