Hi everybody...

Are these two the same thing?

FitCD's PAL VCD settings for an AVI source
BilinearResize(320,256,0,0,512,410)
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)

For a faster encoding, is this right?
Crop(0,0,512,410)
SimpleResize(320,256)
AddBorders(16,16,16,16)

For speed, maybe
But No. SimpleResize is not the same as Bilinear resize.
You did that SimpleResize script with AvsGen right?

No, I did it myself... (using fitcd's script sample)

For me, the highest quality is not important, cause I like to encode shows, videoclips, etc. (audio must be great). Then I decided to use simpleresize, cause it's faster than others, but as FitCD script sample uses bilinear or bicubic, I'd like to change the script that fitcd gives me to simpleresize.

My question: Is it right, the way I rewrote from bilinear to simpleresize?
Remember: I don't care for the highest video quality, I just want the right aspect ratio, etc. for a better compression. As if FitCD had a SimpleResize option.

Thanks...

No reply for my doubt?

Is 512x410 your AVI source resolution?
If it is... I guess you don't need the crop function.
The aspect ratio is correct (512/410=320/256).
And as you add the borders, your final resolution will be 352x288.
