Whoud we run the AVISynth process prior to loading your new template or just load the d2v/wav files and your template to process.

Hi Bud:

You can read directly the .d2v, but I used FitCD last night on "The Matrix", because it's anamorphic and I wanted to see what I would get.
Here's my script that was generated by FitCD to be used with the KDVD template:

LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\MPEG2DEC.dll")
mpeg2source("F:\THE_MATRIX_16X9LB_N_AMERICA\VIDEO_ TS\matrix.d2v")
BilinearResize(720,480,0,0,720,480)
#TemporalSmoother(2,2)
AddBorders(0,0,0,0)

The result is the same as if you read directly from the .d2v. So for DVD to KVCD it's a 1:1 relation. No need for FitCD.

BTW the file size for "The Matrix" came out to 2,063,000KB!
That's because it's anamorphic, and it's a little taller than a 16:9.
But that's a very good file size for a movie that's 2 hours, 16 minutes and 20 seconds!.

So my calculations should be close, as to fit 5 hours on a DVD, at full DVD quality. Of course, it depends on the footage.
