KVCD: What are best Scripts?
 

I have just been using VituralDub to split the AVI into Audio and Video then I use BeSweet to change the WAV to MP2. I then use a KVCD template in TMPGenc to convert the AVI to M1V. I then use the MPEG Tools to multiplex these and then Burn it with NERO. I have been looking around, and I am jsut wondering what are the scripts exactly? Do I need them for better quality? or is my template a script? Thanks!

HI Scripts make the video a whole lot better

You need to have Avisynth installed to use scripts ,they are just filters that compress the video without a lot of quality loss

here is an example what a script looks like

Ok, Well I just downloaded AVISynth and installed it. Now how do I do all the script work? Thanks!

First off which version of avisynth did you get

It all depends on your source is it an avi or a dvd

I will give you an example of an avi script and what to do with it

AviSource("PATH\NAME.avi",false) BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(WIDTH, HEIGHT, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
#Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_ma x=10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)
GripBorders()

You need to change the 3 lines that are in bold to fit your movie then save as .avs in notepad and thats it

load your avs into whatever encoder you use

You are probably going to get errors until you get everything installed properly

Ok I have an AVI file. I have AVISnyth 2. What next? Thanks!

Where do I get all the information for the bolded lines to fill in? GSpot? Thanks!

I think I will just stick with KVCD TMPGenc Templates. This Script stuff is preety confusing.... Im LOST!!

If you don't learn scripting, you will lose maybe 30 % of quality.
It is easy, start with:

If your source is DVD use http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=38
Only modify your own settings (as resolution, e.g.)
If your source is DivX/XviD use http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7223

Dude, Please don't stop now.

I am right where you are, and have been following your posts.

You have a good way of asking a simple direct question that gets

a solid answer. Please keep going with the scripts.

Ok I looked at that post, I dont get what I need to do. All of my videos are AVI Divx. If you could just tell me what Programs I need, That would be great. Also Just give me a script that will work with all the Divx fiels and I can jsut fill in the Width, Height, etc. I dont understand all he Version 4,3,2,1? I dont understand what he is talking about? Thansk!

Do you at least understand english :?:
It is clearly said in my post with all the scripts :
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7223
And bigggt already gave you a script that works for any file and where you just have to change the height and width !

Ok, What I dont get about the scripts is.. I just type in that information and then the encoder will make sure it is under 700 Mb? or What?

Hi there,
No! scripts hardly have anything to do with a 700MB barrier.
It's true that we use some scripts that do help us to compress the pictures in the movie a little bit further than the encoder already can.
But scripts are meant to retouch the movie before feeding it to the encoder, that's it.
If you want something to help you make a 700MB CD then look for file prediction methods, and if you're using Tmpgenc then look for CQMatic.
Cheers

Noone to tell him the target size is 800MB and not 700 ? ;-)

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this post it has also helped me alot with scripts and now i can atleast make one. :D
