video resizing?

[Rosey]

hi everyone!

im having a horrible time here. this is what i know and have done:

1)im using avisynth to frameserve a very simple resizing to cce (2.67.00.10)

AviSource("D:\mymovie.avi")
BicubicResize(720,352)
AddBorders(0,64,0,64)


2) the origional video is "640x352 (1.82:1) [=20:11] with 25 fps" from gspot, so my resizing should be correct, right?
3) i load the mpv file into dvd labs and it says the video is 720x576! what is causing this?

4)i use pulldown to change the framerate to 29.97

5) the audio is mp3, so i use virtualdub to extract the wav. at this point, no matter what ive dont, the audio i never in synch with the video. if i "stretched" the video via pulldown, how do i do the same with the audio?

well, i know its a tall order, but y'alls help is greatly needed.



p.s. i tried this aviscript and i still get the 720x576 dimensions, so i dont know what the problem is.

AviSource("D:\mymovie.avi")
BicubicResize(720,396)
AddBorders(0,42,0,42)

25fps is a PAL video, and that's probably why CCE wants to make 720x576 out of it. To convert it to NTSC is a bit tricky, and though many solutions have been suggested, no one seems to quite satisfy everyone.

The quick and dirty solution is of course to add ChangeFPS(29.97) to the script, but I doubt that you'll enjoy the results. Check the AviSynth homepage (http://www.avisynth.org) where a number of solutions have been suggested.

Hi-

the origional video is "640x352 (1.82:1) [=20:11] with 25 fps" from gspot, so my resizing should be correct, right?

Right.

hakko504 is certainly correct in saying your authoring app thinks it's PAL because of the 25fps framerate. However, if it were I (who doesn't yet have a DVD burner), I'd add AssumeFPS(23.976) to the script and then run Pulldown afterwards to have it output 29.97fps. But because the audio then becomes asynch, you'll have to stretch it. BeSweet can do it easily enough, as well as convert it to AC3. But if you want to also correct the pitch, you'll have to use a full blown WAV editor first.

Also, I don't think I'd use Virtual Dub to extract the MP3 or convert to WAV, but either VDubMod or NanDub.
