Seem to now have everything except Gripcrop.

All I can find is GripCrop_Preview which TMPGEnc says not 2.5 plugin.

Thanks, Phil

"deen need a YV12 input" error in TMPGEnc

... as do MA script. So that's a problem that you have to correct quicly.

What kind of source do you use ? (avi or mpeg2 ?)

This is an avi from a tv capture.

LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\MPEG2DEC3.dll")

LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\deen.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\gripfit_yv12.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\unfilter_2.5\unfilter.dl l")
#LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\video\dlls\stmed_2.5a\STMedianFilte r.dll")

AviSource("H:\love\love.avi")
Limiter()
Telecide()
Decimate()
GripCrop(480, 480, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false, dest_anamorphic=true)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter( 8, 32, 0, 0 )
Deen()
UnFilter(25, 25)
MergeChroma(blur(1.5)
MergeLuma(blur(0.2))
#GripBorders()
Limiter()

Okay so all depends on the codec you use.

If that is a codec abble to provides YV12 output, just configure it in this way (xvid codec for instance is configured for outputting YUY2 by default, where Divx codec is configured for YV12)

If the codec can't give you YV12, add the line "ConvertToYV12()" just after the avisource.

Thanks, Phil.

I'll try this.

Also, I now get a TMPGEnc message "can not open or unsupported" for my avs file. I've checked the path and can open in notpad.

Can you open the avs in WMP ?
Do you have READAvs installed correctly .
Do you have such problem with other scritps or just this one ?

Does not open in WMP.
READAvs in TMPGEnc looks same as before installing 2.52.
Problems only started after installing 2.52.

TMPGEnc\Environmental\VFAPI plugin

No need to go further so.

You probably don't have avisynth installed correctly. Can you do a script with just "Version()" in it and try to open it under WMP ?

Phil,

You're a prince of a fellow. Reinstalled Avisynth. Runs. I'll start playing with it now!

If your source is interlaced as it probably is, use ConverttoYV12(interlaced=true).

Your output aspect will always be 4:3, if you're making a (SK)VCD.
Your input aspect depends of what you captured. If the captured material is 16:9 (where you have top/bottom black bars), you're going to have to get the "Film pixel" area with TMPEG or with a null transform filter in Vdub, and then use the values to feed them to Moviestacker. Then you'll have the correct aspect.

Where and how is the output flagged as anamorphic?

My goal is to go in with an anamorphic, out with an anamorphic.

I knew it, if DVDburners get that cheap the KDVD forumpart and the questions about anamorph encoding will explode

As you did all that resizing in Avisynth you can enter both values to 4:3 and 4:3 which means "let it as it is" Because by avisynth you feed TmpgEnc with a Letterboxed 16:9 format and that results in effective 4:3 proportions and no more anamorphic!

ok
???? That's exactly the opposite compared to the script Kwag showed you above!

When using the resize values mentioned by Kwag you end up in a letterboxed non-anamorph stream!

If you still want encode anamorph on KDVD (needs more bitrate! cause of more active moviepixels!) you don't need to resize.

Yust add a ...
Crop(8,0,704,576) instead of resizing
And maybe overlapping borders for better compresion
Letterbox(16,16,8,8 )

I did choose just a value of 8 on the sides and 16 on top& bottom as anamorph videos will be stretched in their width on 16:9 Tvsets.

This above will give you a 704x576 incl. overscan area and still in an anamorph state.


Nic that avatar is really big, you know, cause poeple who don't got a big resolution on their screen will see the Replies cutted at the right side

The original post from Kwag is above. I guess I misinterpheted it.

You should crop in a more clever manner.
Only 1.77 and 1.85 anamorphic DVD have a fullscreen image. 2.35 and others have black borders encoded into the 702*576 picture. So you must find the picture area, cut the borders, apply the filters and put back the borders back. This way you will have perfect border edges and you will gain some time to process.

I just wanted to point out with this if the source is 1.85: or 1.77:1 and NOT 2.35:1.
Just to explain also that 704 width in our encoding case are just 720 cropped on each side by 8 where the AR will be keeped right.
So there's no need to still encode at 720 width.

But you're right that was just a bit confusing to others as they also deal with 2.35:1 sources.
