Tried this in the general forum, however received no answers. Thought I would try here since it's using AVISynth.

I have two videos that I converted from AVI to MPEG2 and am confused as to the final output of them. Here are their sizes from GSpot:

Movie 1
- 512x288 (1.78:1) [=16:9]
- FPS: 25
- AVISynth Settings:
LanczosResize(704,576,0,0,512,288)
AddBorders(8,0,8,0)

Movie 2
- 704x416 (1.69:1) [=22:13]
- FPS: 25
- AVISynth Settings:
LanczosResize(672,576,0,1,704,414)
AddBorders(24,0,24,0)

OK. So I convert using CCE and Movie 1 looks as expected with a minimal border vertically on the right and left. Movie 2 is extremely small with huge borders horizontally on top and bottom and decently large borders vertically on the right and left.

What am I missing here? Both movies are being resized to 576 vertically so shouldn't they both take up the full vertical screen size? The borders in the AVISynth script for Movie 2 are only on the right and left side so not sure why the final output has the second image so small. Can anyone explain what's going on here with the given dimensions? I'd attach pictures however not sure how to capture them once in their MPEG2 format as media player won't do it.

Thanks.

Could you open up the script in VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod (without passing through CCE) and see if the problem appears there?
