Sampler File Size Prediction... Missed Something there...

Hi SansGrip!

Can you give me a script how to use Sampler, especially with the new GOP? I'm still doing prediction manually...
Thanks...

Hi Jellygoose,

Here's a sample script:

LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\MPEG2DEC\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\BlockBuster\BlockBuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\LegalClip\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("E:\DVD Backup\2 - DVD2SVCD\Sampler\Sampler.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\Temp\movie.d2v")
#
Minutes = round((Framecount/Framerate)/60 )
SL = 24
Sampler(Minutes, SL)
#
LegalClip()
BilinearResize(496,352,14,0,692,480)
BlockBuster(method="noise", variance=.5, seed=1 )
AddBorders(16,64,16,64)
LegalClip()

Get the latest Blockbuster v0.6 and Sampler v0.2a.
Hope this helps.

black prince/SansGrip,

Why use LegalClip() twice? Why not just use it once at the end? Please explain =)

The first LegalClip gets rid of out-of-range values before any other filter gets a chance to mix them up with nearby correct values, by resizing or whatever.

The second one gets rid of any strays that might have been generated during processing.
