@SansGrip,

I tested GripFit for 352x340, KVCD-LBR,CQ_VBR with no problems:
Here's my script:

mpeg2source("D:\Temp\movie.d2v")
LegalClip()
GripFit( width=352, height=240, overscan=1)
opening=Trim(0,3093)
opening=opening.TemporalSoften(3,8,30)
movie=Trim(3094,145515)
movie=movie.Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.5, seed=1).FluxSmooth()
credits=Trim(145516,0)
credits=credits.Greyscale().TemporalSoften(3,8,30)
last=opening+movie+credits
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)

Tmpgenc, of course is handling borders. :wink: It will take time
to find all the problems, since you took great care to handle the
most common situations pretty well. This is a useful filter for the
automated encoder "acp". Anamorphic and non-anamorphic are
the only problems that need to be determined by FitCD and I'm
sure you'll find a way to detect this from the .d2v file. Nice work :D

You don't need FitCD for that. Just run GripFit with something like

GripFit(528, 480, overscan=1)

and, if the output looks vertically stretched in TMPGEnc, use

GripFit(528, 480, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)

:)

I did think of something, but it would require a modification to mpeg2dec...

Ok, here's a new preview version with some bug fixes and a new feature:

You get the idea. GripBorders() will add black around the frame to fill it out to whatever size you specified to GripFit. In other words, if GripFit produced a frame that was 512x352, GripBorders() would be equivalent to:

This isn't necessary if you're using the "center" arrange method in TMPGEnc, but makes the package complete and will be helpful to someone using, say, CCE.

I think I'm going to concentrate on docs now, though I might take a look at the mpeg2dec source code and see how hard it would be to add anamorphic source detection...

Not only that, but it forces the correct output resolution when you now load the .avs, so you don't have to go back and change the output resolution :wink:
That's great SansGrip :D

Thanks,
-kwag

Hey, I didn't think of that! Bonus :mrgreen:.

Yeah! In my opinion it's a great bonus!
Now I can start using it with a BIGGER smile! :yippie:

Perhaps coming soon to a filter near you:

That should offer enough flexibility for everyone...

This is getting better and better... :D

By the hour :mrgreen:

Sansgrip,
Got an error from avisynth. "caught an access violation at 0x77fcbdef attempting to read from 0xffffff23".
Here's my avs script.
LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\FitCD\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\gripfit\GripFit_preview.d ll")
LoadPlugin("d:\downloads\sampler\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\fluxsmooth\fluxsmooth.dll ")
LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\blockbuster\blockbuster.d ll")
LoadPlugin("D:\Downloads\legalclip\legalclip.dll")
mpeg2source("c:\minority_report\video_ts\minority. d2v")
LegalClip()
gripfit(720, 480,overscan=1)
Blockbuster( method="dither", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=.4 )
gripborders()
LegalClip()
sampler()

Any ideas?

Edit:I just tried 528x480 and now I get a green display in my Tmpgenc. Pushed start just to see and it only encoded the green display.

Does it work if you comment out GripFit? Does it still crash with:

GripFit(720, 480, overscan=1, dest_anamorphic=false)

?

Are you using the latest preview version (0.0b)?

Sansgrip,
It's definitely gripfit. I commented out and left gripborders() and got an invalid params error. I commented out gripborders and it works fine. At any thing below 720x480 it get a green screen and no other display.

-Yoda

Ah, both 720x480 and 528x480 work fine with GripBorders commented out?

No. I'm getting a green display on all settings now. The first time I used Gripfit avisynth gave me that error from previous. Now all I get is a green display. Could the problem be avisynth?


-Yoda
Edit:I'm using avisynth from 10/29/2002

With and without GripBorders?

Could you load the d2v directly into TMPGEnc and use its clipping dialog to figure out the size of the existing black borders? I can't duplicate this problem with my d2v sources.

I have gripborders commented out. The borders are top=84, bottom=86, left and right are 8. Are you using avisynth from 10/29/2002?

-Yoda

:oops: Sorry. top=58 bottom=65, left and right=0. I used the avs on my previous post.

-Yoda

@Sansgrip
I tried your gripfilter on another source and it works fine. Why is it not working on Minority Report?

Tell me something to look for with the differences between the two sources.

-Yoda

@Sansgrip
Okay, I tried gripfit with several sources.
K19- worked.
Minority Report-green screen
Bad Company-green screen
Sopranos-green screen

-Yoda

I believe that's 2.06. I'm using 2.07. You never know, that might be the cause...
