Resizing To Full Screen?

[Red Raven]

Hi

I have an avi file which i would like to resize,it is 480x208 (2.308.1) 25fps,i used the following script with CCE....
avisource("LegendsOfTheFall.avi")
BicubicResize(720,326)
AddBorders(0,125,0,125)
ResampleAudio(44100)
...which produced good results but i would like to encode to full
screen without any(or very little)distortion,can someone give details as to how it is done?
One more thing,which yields best results BicubicResize or LanczosResize?


Thanks for any help!

Resizing to full screen?! you mean you want 4:3 output? no way to do such a thing without cutting useful information from the picture. You'll have to cut the right and left parts.

LanczosResize(720,432,56,0,370,208) for 16:9 letterboxed
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)

or

LanczosResize(720,576,100,0,278,208) for 4:3 full screen

Both ways NOT RECOMMENDED!!

Better encode normally, then if you want it 4:3, you can always pan & scan while playing!

yes thats correct,i want 4:3 output.

I'm new to avisynth and was hoping it could work miracles :confused: i know that to get full screen the image must be cropped from every angle in order to keep a somewhat normal looking DAR.
Oh well guess i'll give it a miss :)

Thumbs up for the friendly advise!
