Hi All,

If you are having the above problem where your output is coming as 464 X 480 instead of 480 X 480 you can use one of the following workarounds:

1) On the frameserver tab Choose "Edit As Part of Video Encoding" and when the AVISYNTH edit window comes, change the following:

In the window you will see the following 2 lines

BicubicResize(464,360,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(8,60,8,60)

Change them to

BicubicResize(480,360,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(0,60,0,60)


The above solution will not be the best option if you are trying to setup a batch mode. In this case use the following solution:

In the DVD2SVCD folder, open your AVISYNTH.INI file and copy the following lines at the end of the AVISYNTh.INI file:

[AVISYNTH_My_BicubicResize]
0=BicubicResize(480,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
1=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6

Once the above code is copied, save the file and close it.

Now when you start D2S, on the FRAMSERVER Tab instead of selecting BicubicResize, Click on the arrow to select My_BicubicResize.

Make any other changes just the way you do and you should have no problem.

Hope this little tip that I discovered will help all of us till D2S makes another release make a fix for this problem.

ENJOY

PS: If I am wrong anywhere in the above tip please correct me. The above workaround works for me all the time.

AddBorders(0,60,0,60)Seems to me that if you do this you will vary the aspect ratio.

Could please someone which is experiencing this problem post a log and describe precisely what the problem is? I'm curious why this "464" thing happens.
