First off, thanks for taking the time to post so much valuable info for free.
Obviously it is a time consuming exercise and spend as much time as most of you do helping others comendable.
I picked up my first DVD player last week, a Daytek P871
.
Darn this unit plays almost anything, (no mpeg4
).
I accidently encoded a pal25fps @480x480 and played fine.
I have done a fair bit of capping, encodeing, archinving, with mpeg4(Formula1 racing-still looking for better mpeg4 settings for such fast motion-long distance action
) and this is whole new ball of wax for me.
I will breifly outline what I do and pls comment if nec.
Demux/encode audio with besweet or headac3e @160/128.
Create/modify avysinth script with AvsEdit/notepad and then the built in script editor in VirtualdubMOD to fine tune scaling/cropping/resizing/borders.
Here is a sample of my simple script. I tryed out the latest optimized script and it bogged down my XP/AMD2200/1Gig ram sys so I symplified it and now I get
1.8 to 2.3 x actual frame rate in CCE. Very fast and result is good quality-not normal DVD but better than VHS
Code:
LoadPlugin("E:\VIDEOE~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\movie.d2v") #or avisource
trim(0,135434)
Crop(18,0,-18,0)
LanczosResize(480,300)
AddBorders(0,90,0,90)
ConvertToYUY2()
# FOOL CCEnc
empty = BlankClip()
AudioDub(last,empty)
#(1:30:17.360) 135434
For prediction I started w/manual and moved to Qcce with good results thanks to the guide here.
Once I have my .mpv i mux with bbmpeg or tmpenc, make bin/cue with vcd easy and burn with Alcohol 120%
The main object of this post is to thank you for sharing your hard work and to get an opinion of my simple/fast avisynth script. Are there any filters I could/should add that won't slow me down much but increase quality.
TIA for any comments.
