ok i seem to be having a slight problem here. everything goes great while encoding my movies, no errors no nothin. but when i actually burn them to disc and play them on my dvd player, only 2/8ths of the picture is shown, and even what is shown is jumbled up and unviewable. when i play it on my computer though, the picture is fine. anyone know what my problem is? and yes i know for a fact my dvd plyer can play KVCD, but ive never run into this prob before. heres my script.

LoadPlugin("C:\Chris\SVCD Encoding\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Chris\SVCD Encoding\MovieStacker\Filters\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Chris\SVCD Encoding\MovieStacker\Filters\atc.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Chris\SVCD Encoding\MovieStacker\Filters\dctfilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Chris\SVCD Encoding\MovieStacker\Filters\undot.dll")


AviSource("C:\Chris\Filz\movie.avi",false)
ConvertToYV12()
AssumeFPS(23.976)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
ATC(2,3,5,0.5,false)
GripCrop(528, 480, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
AddBorders(16, 112, 16, 112)

note: this is my first time using this script, and all attempts have come out a described above. ive only had luck with the preset scripts in Moviestacker.

I see you have AssumeFPS(23.976) line in your script, is the original PAL 25FPS? If it is, the NTSC resolution 528x480 could be the problem, you should at least try 544x480(576)

Did you check if your player is compatible with KVCD before doing anything else ?

(note: why use "Addborders" wight gripsize ??? You must use gripborders !)

first off, no the movie is NTSC with an fps of 23.976 (the Assumefps 23.976 must of been in there from another movie, i thought it wouldnt make a difference). second, yes i have confirmed my DVD player infact plays KVCDs through the test cd he posted somewhere on this forum. thirdly, i used Addborders beacause that was what was suggested in an FAQ which was using your V3 script, so i just followed the guide. can i just switch it to GripBorders(16,112,16,112) instead of Addborders(16,112,16,112), or must the value within the brackets change for GripBorders? also if they do how can i find this value out?

Ok, this question had to be asked

Now, all the samples on the test CD are MPEG1 and the disc is burned as VDC. Did you do the same for the KVCD that do not work ?

Who did this guide ? There is an error. It's a nonsense to use addborders there.

You don't have any value to give to gripborders (just use GripBorders()) : the values are computed by the "GripCrop" command !

first off, i just want to clear up that by "he" i meant kwag. I am positive that the files were MPEG1, and that i did burn them as VCDs. thanks for clearing that borders thing up for me, but is that what caused my jumbled picture? if you have any more thoughts please post them, and il try it again with the fixed script and tell you how it comes out. thanks so far
