NTSC To PAL

[Red Raven]

Hi


I have some avi files that need converting to pal,done some reading on 100fps.com and from what i see Bob & Weave give best results...so came here done a search and came across this script put forward by shodan,so i went with this:

AVISource("movie.avi")
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true,tff=true)
BicubicResize(720, 576) (Can i resize to different AR to this?)
decimate(6)
SeparateFields.SelectEvery(4, 0, 3)
Weave()

...tried loading the movie.avs into CCE and get just 240 frames loaded = 10min duration,the actual file is usually 70000+ frames,any idea whats wrong :confused:

Hi,

I normally just use:

avisource("filename.avi")
BicubicResize(720,X)
AddBorders (0,((576-X)/2), 0, ((576-X)/2))
AssumeFPS(25)
AddAudio()

You need to resize the aspect ratio so that it is 720 x 576. However, the problem with this is that most Avi's aren't an exact proportion of this number. So, you need to open the file using gspot, follow bits of the Doom9 AVI2DVDR tutorial, and learn how to do the math to resize the video!.

One thing you might want to try is opening the AVS script with Media player - sometimes it produces video output giving red writing in the video output stream telling you that there is a problem with the script and where the problem is occuring - for example, line 1 etc. If you are getting 240 frames, it sounds like this IS the problem.

Hope this helps!
