Avisynth: Need parameters for my script!

I have this script that I got from a dude here on the forum:

Code:

LanczosResize(WIDTH-(OVERSCAN*16), HEIGHT-(OVERSCAN*16))

AddBorders((OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8))

You guys should see what it does (for who dont, it shrinks the video and adds black borders around it to prevent the overscan problem some have).

All I wanna know is wich one I should increase to make the borders on the sides wider. Now they are symmetric. The ones on the top and bottom are perfect for my TV. But the sides are still a bit small.

Usually, each overscan unit is equal to 16 pixels by side. Then, your new values would be:

Quote:

LanczosResize(WIDTH-(OVERSCAN*32), HEIGHT-(OVERSCAN*16))
AddBorders((OVERSCAN*16,(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*16),(OVERSCAN*8))

But if that is so much for your TV, you can try:

Quote:

LanczosResize(WIDTH-(OVERSCAN*24), HEIGHT-(OVERSCAN*16))
AddBorders((OVERSCAN*12,(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*12),(OVERSCAN*8))

If this values doesn't makes interference with other options in the script. (It would show error when previewing if so)

I didnt really see any difference between 32*16 and 16*8.. was the same on my TV. Seems kinda strange. But.. Ive been working my ass off for like 3 weeks now to get this damn anime-dvd right.. And I aint gonna give up now.

So any suggestions? :)

In some place into your script must to be defined a varable called OVERSCAN, in a way similar to OVERSCAN=1 or OVERSCAN=2 or OVERSCAN=3. If it is one change to 2, and if it is 2 change to 3.
But it would be a little bit strange as more than 2, only a few people need it.

Hmm.. this is really the whole script:

Code:

converttoyv12()

LanczosResize(WIDTH-(OVERSCAN*16), HEIGHT-(OVERSCAN*16)) 

AddBorders((OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8),(OVERSCAN*8))

AddAudio()

No more, no less.

With that script, you can't view anything when preview it, neither encode nothing. Who give the value to variables OVERSCAN, HEIGHT and WIDTH.
How do you encode your movie? Do you load succefully this script in any encoder?

I encode my videos in DIKO and it works fine, no errors or what so ever. If you see something is wrong with the script maybe you wanna correct the problem and give me the right script to the job? :)

Not.

Start reading the forums and learn to use Avisynth.

@Boulder: I beg your pardon, but I would like to teach Mecha some basics.

@Mecha: That script won't work outside DIKO, as it has some "VARIABLES" defined for DIKO itself. If you don't define those, the scrip won't work.
Use fitCD to find LanczosResize and Addborders values.
As you are noobie in this questions, I advise you to use Gripcrop, Gripsize, Gripborders in place of LanczosResize.
Use Dialhot's V4 script (avi sources) or Kwag's MA script (dvd sources). Search forum to find its.
And do also that what my friend Boulder said you.

@Mecha: I may sound rude, but you're much better off starting at www.avisynth.org like Dialhot already told you in the thread at the DIKO forum. These forums are meant for discussing advanced techniques, which require a basic knowledge of Avisynth. If we explained every basic thing about AVS and related stuff, that would be all that we had the time for.

@Pro: No probs :wink:

yeah I get your point.. But I just wanted one script that I could use over and over again, cuz Im not gonna go pro in this area. I just wanna make a template/script in DIKO so I dont have to do that stuff over and over again. I have no intention of learning AVISynth, that may sound ignorant becuase we are in the AVISynth forum. But thats what I want, and if you guys are to busy its ok. You should always try before you give up ;P
