KVCD: How to Remove black borders?
 

Hi guys.
Im trying to encode a divx. But where in the avs file can i add a line or something so that the borders at the top and bottom are deleted?
This is the info gspot shown:416x176 (2.36:1) [=26:11]
How to get it 4:3?
Hope someone can help me. :roll:

In TMPGenc, Settings->Advance->Video arrange method->choose Full screen (no margins)

You can open the AVI file though Virtual Dub, the go to filters and add a filter then after that crop it and see how much it takes to crop it, record each boarder, then place it in the avs script like show here, http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=Crop Crop(left,Top,Width-Right,length-bottom). Then place your filters like show here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...threadid=64253 .

Don't bother with that ! Gripcrop do an automatic "border removal" before computing the resizing parameters. It can fail if the borders aren't truly black.

Ok dailhot i tried that but it didn't work. Still borders and the people look like smurfs after encoding. Any other suggestions?

Aren't these borders the ones add by the "overscan" parameter ? They are normal !

And you say "smurf" but did you use the correct settings for source_anamorphic and dest_anamorphic paremeters ?

Which "Gripcrop" line did you use ?

Well this is my avs:

To be more exact: My source is not 4:3 so when i play it it has a black line above and beneath the movie.

---------------------
Border
---------------------

movie

---------------------
Border
---------------------

And i was wondering if i could make it full screen.
But what do i have to change in the avs? Im using tok.
And also i tried to encode as you said, but the movie was with borders and just like a photo negative.

But the borders aren't in the source, are they ?

If not, you can't remove them (as they do not exist). And you can't do a fullscreen movie form a bordered one without cutting the sides (and so, loose some picture).

But what to do about those blue faces?
And the borders are present in the source, well i believe so. Because when i play the movie in wmp it also has those borders.

Codec issue. DL the last nic's XVID codec.

And DL also GSPOT to analyse the true size of your video. These borders aren't in the source, I'm pretty sure about this.

Well this is the info G-spot gave me:
Stream type and A/V interleave:
Type:OpenDML AVI IMRR:1.00
I/L:2 vid frames (80 ms), p=480 Split: No

Video:
Codec:
4CC:DX50/divx name:DivX 5.0
Runtime:01:45:56 (158,907 fr)
x:y:416x176 (2.36:1) [=26:11]
bitrate:785 kb/s FPS:25.000 Qf:0.429 bits/pixel

need more? Let me know.
Tanks for all your help :lol:

You see, your source is widescreen, that's the player that put the black borders to fit the picture in your 4:3 monitor !
