AVI encoded in a strange resolution: 704x400
This is about my 5th or 6th encode, and I've encountered a few problems.
First off, I'll start with my script question, just a small query. In this case, I'm encoding a near perfect AVI. Virtually DVD quality DixX, with no artifacts or graphical anomalies whatsoever, so this time I decided to use kwags Motion Adaptive script. My question is, is it always best to use Dialhot's AVI script v4? I played the scripts in WMP to preview the difference, and there was hardly any. I decided on kwag's script, as it seemed slightly sharper (probably my eyes deceiving me). My main question is a little more complex. I read another thread about a similar issue, but the script talk was a bit to complex for me :oops: . This perfect AVI I have has been encoded in a strange resolution: 704x400. I decided to try and simply encode at this resolution, to see how my TV would react. I had to drop the GripCrop lines in the MA script; GripCrop(Your_GripCrop_Parameters_Here) GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize") and GripBorders() as when inputting the resolution, the overscan=1 and source_anamorphic=false paramters into GripCrop, the script failed to work as GripCrop reported unknown destination frame or something like that (basically it wasn't happy with the strange resolution I had asked for I think). Those are just the standard gripCrop paramters i've put in for every encode, and unfortunately i hadn't got the benefit of MovieStacker (out of action) to help me on this one. Anyway, I encoded the movie, the final MPG looked fine in WMP. On TV; not so good :(. All is well, it plays, but the movie has stretched vertically (i suspect to 480) and then the rest of the movie pushed off the screen. The TV has basically put the movie into 4:3, and I can't find a setting to undo it. I have two suspicions; the absence of GripCrop(source_anamorphic=false) has meant the TV has interpreted the video wrong. My other suspicion is simply that the TV doesn't like 704x400 and will always refuse to display it properly :(. Any tips on how to solve this? Changing the resolution is what you may say but then... I'm faced with a dilemma, of having to drop the vertical resolution to 288, loosing alot of detail. Or increasing to a standard 480 (and possibly ending up with a blurry image). I'd rather there was some simple script line, or GripCrop command I could use to retain the source resolution :). Any (and all) help is much appreciated :). -Al |

I just entered a source res of 704 x 400, asked for a resolution of 704*480 with overscan = 2 and this is what it suggested : Code:
BicubicResize(592,448,1/3,1/3,0,0,704,400) |
Greatly appreciated Phil :d. I'll try and encode tonight
Again, thanks for all the help :) |
