KVCD: 144 Minutes at 480x480 Not Good

[Steel]

i have no idea why, but im encoding a high action movie (dvd-rip) at 480X480 and i just can not get the thing to fit on one 80 min cd. once you see my script, you will see i applied alot of things to bring the size down, and cq up, but it will not work. anyone have any suggestions or solutions short of lowering it to 352X240, cause that makes it look very pixelated for me. so anyways, here my script...

LoadPlugin("C:\Filters25\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\Filters25\GripFit_YV12.dll") 
LoadPlugin("C:\Filters25\asharp.dll")

MaxTreshold = 1.50 
nf =  0 # Current frame. 

Mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\owner\Desktop\MyMovie.d2v") 

undot() 
deen()
asharp(1, 4) 
STMedianFilter(8,32,0,0)
GripCrop(480, 480, source_anamorphic = true, Dest_Anamorphic = false) 
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize") 
MergeChroma(blur(1.58)) 
MergeLuma(blur(0.3)) 

SwitchThreshold = (Width<=480) ? 4 : (Width<=480) ? 3 : 2 
ScriptClip("nf = YDifferenceToNext()"+chr(13)+ "nf >= SwitchThreshold ? \ 
unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ) : \ 
TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1).VagueDenoiser(Threshold=1.5,method=1,nsteps=6,chroma=True,Filter=7)")



GripBorders()
DCTFilter(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0)


function fmin( int f1, int f2) { 
  return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 
}

You won't be abble to put decently a 144 min High-action movie on a 80 Min CD at such res.

I'd go for a lower resolution, since that's a LONG movie...
Try once again with 352x480, see if you can save some more bits by putting this right after GripBorders :

Letterbox(0,0,12,12)

and also lower the aSharp value to maybe 0.7. You can also try using Bilinear Resize for this...
Still you most likely end up with a quality that won't satisfy you...
