hi guys,

i am a AviSynth newbie, so be warned. I was using VDub(mod) and i am using Sonix Foundry Vegas4.0 for my editing otherwise.

Problem:

My source vids are all 640x480 at 15 fps progressive !

* is there a way to double the frames (or make 'em at least 24fps with motion compensation etc. so the movements look smoother ?)
I found this dll for avisynth...but supposedly it doubles only 24fps movies to 50fps...and mine are 15p.

* i use Sonic Foundry, and i want to write my videos on CD, the 640x480 is fine. (I use a MJPEG codec). I have very bad results w/ DivX (artefacts, bad quality) ...and the built in MPEG-2 codec writes in DVD format, eg. 720x480...29.something fps. That's why i am stuck w/ MJPEG.

Is there a way to encode in MPEG-2 but keep the 640x480 and 15fps...and/or more (double) fps with better/smoother quality than just writing my vids using the MPEG-2 codec and 29.xxx fps ?
(It does not look very good that way.worse than my 15fps originals)

I am also looking for a 'generic' good codec i can encode my vids to for writing them on CD which has high quality and results in small file size - and friends should be able to view the vids without having to install codecs etc....the friends probably dont even know what a codec is... :)

There is a limit to what can be done in reasonable processing time but you might try my FramaDbl.dll filter in the downloads section of my site. It will double it to 30 fps.
