Border on left side of video?
 

I'm using SKVCD with a 16:9 DVD cartoon. I have a border on the left side, no matter what TMPGEnc settings I use (full screen, center, etc). How do I crop this area out. The other three sides are fine.

The size settings are from MovieStacker.

Hi nicksteel:
the settings are with resize=2.
Depending on film, and more important on TV, sometimes with resize=2 I see a bar in the left side. Try with resize=1 (but the file will grow), or even play with addborders parameters (I haven´t tried this last one, is just an :idea: ).

Hi Nic,

digitall.doc is right, cause the calculation of your resize parameters and the values of black borders as pixels which will be added afterwards seem to be ok. But don't just "play" with the addborders() values! They have to be exact calculated in Moviestacker or FitCD! Cause if you just change them manually by trying , the final size won't match a legal resolution :!:
You only can "play" with the settings of Letterbox(), cause Letterbox() only overlaps black borders and doesn't add black borders as "add"borders() does

Hi incredible:
Ok, I see, there are some things we better not play with, isn´t it?. :lol:

Do you have this border in your source ?
If yes use gripcrop, it will remove it before the computing the rezise parameters.

No bar on source. Same results with Gripcrop. I'm going to try Letterbox() adjustments. Never saw anything like this before from a DVD.

just tried overscan1, overscan0. no change.

Can you use the plugin Autocrop on the source and see if it report than upper left corner is 0,0 ?

Finally got it to go with:

GripCrop(352, 480)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")

GripBorders()
