Thanks for the link.
I knew it, but many times those translations are not good.
Anyway some times I do use google translation tool.

PS: avi is NOT illegal/ripped stuff

Hello. Just a comparison: the @Prodater method. And the "Adobe" method.

AVISource: 640x480
Output: 720x480, overscan=2

Script used:

Code:

AviSource("C:\LOGO\watcha\bleach_xvid3.avi", false)
BicubicResize(672, 446, 0, 0.6, 0, 0, 640, 480)
AddBorders(24, 17, 24, 17)
safe_area=imagesource("720x486.jpg")
overlay(safe_area.BicubicResize(720,480),0,0,mode="add",opacity=0.3)

WITHOUT safe-area option activated:

and ACTIVATED:

and the very little difference between both:

The lines that are "whiter" are from Adobe

best regards

@sparskter: And what do you think of my method. Is it enough good or not?
I just did it as you ask for it, but I don't use it for nothing, so your opinion would be very useful.

OF COURSE it is very good

. NO DOUBTs about that. I thought it was not necessary to say that, because the screenshots shows us they got the SAME result

. Just by yesterday I was just learning how to add borders using Bicubic Resize:

Code:

a=AVISource("C:\LOGO\watcha\bleach_xvid3.avi",audio=true)
BicubicResize (a, 672,414, 0,0.6)
AddBorders(24,33,24,33)

Source: 640x480
Output: 720x480

I learned that 24+24 + 672 must be equal to 720 (and the width of border must be multple of 4)

And 33+33+414 must be equal to 480.

And so, I can get a very precise result

And for that I need to do many tests using avisynth/virtualdub and of course using the safe area to final adjust it

best regards
