KVCD: Encoding only some frames of movie?
 

Hello, I was wondering if someone could give me help with the KVCD-ULBR-352x240-_NTSCFilm_-PLUS.mcf template for making KVCDs.
First of all, my problem is this, I make the the proper adjustments in MovieStacker, I then load the KVCD_ULBR.pst in MovieStacker, I then choose the save script file.

Now, I start ToK, and I load the mp2 audio file and the avs script file, I have my directories for the different applications properly configured.

Now here is where the problems start:
1) The only way I can have a YUY2 video file is by having VirtualDub force YUY2 output through either the PICVideo or HUFFYUV MJPEG Codec(s). I don't think my video card (e-GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb) supports YUY2.

2) When I hit the Start button in ToK, the video begins encoding, yet it only does 336 frames of the whole movie. It's a bit awkward to explain, but the 336 frames it encodes are frames of the movie scattered around in chronological order, in other words, it starts at one frame, then jumps to a point much later on in the movie. Strange, but that's what it does. And after it's done encoding the video in TMPGEnc, it closes out of TMPGEnc, and restarts the program as well as the encoding process all over again. Also, I would like to have it be 29.97fps instead of 25fps.

And just a final note:
The movie is 2 hours and 16 minutes and 34 seconds, that's 204,863 frames. Hopefully someone out there can help me with this problem.

Any help given will be very much appreciated. Thank you for your time and help.

Open your av script n see if you have Sampler() or something of tha nature if you do, take it off.

Nope, the following is exactly what is inside the avs file:
#==============================================#
# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v1.1.1 =- #
#==============================================#

LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\TemporalCleanerOld.dll" )
LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Video Tools\MovieStacker\Filters\LegalClip.dll")

AviSource("C:\t2.avi")
LegalClip()
GripCrop(352, 288, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
GoldDust()
TemporalCleaner()
BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_max=7, seed=1)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

Thats cause tok is doing prediction dude. Have you read the kvcd manual?

@paull2k,

Check this guide: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2331

Yes, I have tried that guide, that's how I got as far as I have so far. By the way, prediction in ToK is turned off.

Edit: Oh wait, turning on No Prediction (Fixed CQ) seems to fix the frames issue, now all I have to do is figure out how to change the frame rate to 29.97 and change the ressolution to 352x240 and I'll be good to go!

Why don't you just encode at the same frame rate as your source :?:

aha you see :wink:

now use moviestacker for that.

That's strange, I didn't realize the framerate of the original file was 25fps until you just mentioned it, hehe :lol: But now in MovieStacker, the options to resize the video resolution is greyed out, any other suggestions?

Cause u have a thick on gripfit, but it dont matter u can still chaige the resolution, look at the destination line where it says DVD type.
