.. the aspect ratio always comes out wrong. I've tried doing this with TMPGEnc and gets a good results adding borders etc.
But I cannot find that option in cce so I turned for help here.
Considered using some sort of .avs script but I dont think it can load .mov files, or am I wron?

If the quicktime .mov is 480x272 I need to encode it as 480x408 since
the XXXx272 will be strectched 1.5x anyway during playback. And 576 (doing pal) -408 = 168 / 2 = 84pixels height on the borders on top/bottom. TMPGEnc has a nice option here for this. "Custom size".
If I enter 480x408 it will then add blackborders right.
How can I do this with CCE? Noticed it's 10x faster on converting mov to mpeg2.

Or is it a way to let tmpgenc framseserve to cce?
I'll guess that takes as long as encode with tmpgenc so might not be good.

I just want to add borders and set output resolution in cce now when I can load .mov straight into it :-(

Please help.

LoadVFAPIPlugin("QTReader.vfp", "QTReader")
QTReader("scooby.mov")
ConvertToYUY2()
SelectEvery(40,0)
AssumeFPS(15)
FlipVertical()
BicubicResize(480,408,0,0.5)
AddBorders(0,84,0,84)

Using this in my .avs ..

SelectEvery40 = CCE thinks the .avs file is 600fps, so this pulls it down to 15fps, which the qtmovie really are.
But it wont load due to 15fps is not allowed by CCE

Any thoughts how I can encode this to pal svcd ? (25fps)

LoadVFAPIPlugin("QTReader.vfp", "QTReader")
QTReader("movie.mov")
ConvertToYUY2()
SelectEvery(24,0)
AssumeFPS(25)
FlipVertical()
BicubicResize(480,390,0,0.5)
AddBorders(0,93,0,93)

That works, but still, anyone that can come up with a better way?
