Avisynth: Help to Make Proper AVS Scripts?

[Sykes]

Hi all ... KVCD hmmmm Impressive
For the love of "Sunny Leong" I can't work with or even make proper avs scripts, I actually jus loaded up the KVCDX3 template (tmpenc)
& through on the double deinterlace filter & encoded "Ocean's 11" (Mpeg1)
made it from a d2v file & wave file from "DVD2AVI 1.77"
(Source dvd)
Anyhow I use "Headac3" to make mp2 audio file & jus muxed the m1v from "tmpg" with the mp2 from "Headac3" & got my whole movie done
BUT ... when i was about to cut the movie into 2 chunks (for 2 80min cdrs)
It was about 300 mb too big My question to u all is ... Is it nessessary ta use scripts in "tmpg" ? or are they just for determining bitrate & size ??
Do the scripts play a role in filtering & sharpining the movie ??
Can someone teach me ta load & make working scripts ?
Evertime I load 1 i made tmpg keeps sayin "error in line 12" or mpegenc2.dll bla bla bla or even unexpected error WTF ?
Can some1 please help me (I do have the AVSREADER installed)
Thanks in advanced for you all takin the time ta read throught the whole thing

Welcome Sykes,

Go to the main page at www.kvcd.net and look on the right side under "Articles". There you'll find several guides that are specific to KVCD

The one's by Red-M and Black Prince are excellent. How many more do you need? Perhaps we can help you with specific needs as you progress. Since we use VBR here, the end file size is not pre-determined exactly as such. We sample the movie and by scaling up determine a CQ that will give a file size prediction to fill the required number of disks. The program TOK does this.

Hi Sykes,

Can you play your .avs in WMP

-kwag

[Sykes]

Yes kwag i can play it in media player BUT its the black screen of death with red letter that play for about 10 seconds, It'll say different things everytime i make an ajustment to the avs file

Can someone make me a script that will work for dvd to kvcd through
the d2v from dvd2avi1.77
I even tryed pre made script but same problem
Help !!

[kwag]

As you are using AviSynth version 2.0x I assume, you did create your .d2v project with DVD2AVI version 1.76
Because 1.77.x doesn't work with avisynth 2.0x

-kwag

[Sykes]

Ummmm I've bin using DVD2AVI 1.77 & AviSynth 2.5 & even 2.08 are those all wrong versons?

[kwag]

If you are using avisynth 2.52, then DVD2AVI 1.77.3 is fine
If you go to your "c:\program files\avisynth 2.5\Examples\" you should see a file called "version.avs"
Play that with WMP and see if you get a screen displaying avisynth's version. If you don't, avisynth is not correctly installed.

I did what u said & changed over to Dvd2Avi1.76 & played that file in that folder u mentioned & it played fine it said AviSynth2.08
So the fact that i used dvd2avi1.77 to wrap the vob infact leaves me to do it again with 1.76 thanks kwag brb in alil while thankx !!

Hey Kwag ... I CAN NOW SEE THE MOVIE IN TMPEG (reading from the script) cool thanks
But as u can see Iam fulla questions
1 whats the better verson of moviestacker to use 2.0 or 1.1 ?
2 what does loading it in tmpgenc accomplish that loading the d2v directly into tmpgenc wont accomplish (does it add filters & stuff) ??
3 what bitrate do u use kwag ? (while making kvcd 2 hrs long mpeg1 on 2 cdrs)
& what do u have your quality set to in tmpg default is 60
If you could also tell me what the kvcd specs are
(max bitrate, Min, Average) (min max audio 48k or 44) (mpg1 audio or mpg2 audio for a m1v file) ????

2.0 BETA 3 is the latest

You can't use avisynth filters if you load the .d2v directly

MIN 300, MAX 2,500 and you have to use file size prediction to target to one or two CDs. Read about it on the forum.

It's just a default value.

KVCD is an advanced qualtization matrix (KVCD "Notch" Q. Matrix), an optimized GOP, and a whole set of methods and procedures

Thanks kwag, Thanks for all the help
Last question, I managed to encode a small file its 16:9 but not like the dvd it has 2 vertical black bars on the screen aswell (my encoded or not meeting the ends of the screen verticaly missing about an inch on each side) left and right is this normal?

[kwag]

You probably encoded with "Blocks-TV overscan" set to 1 or 2 in MovieStacker.
Normally, in the computer, you will see the bars. But not on your TV. This saves precious space, because you encode less pixels.
Search the forum for more details on this.

Thanx for your help !!
