How to convert PAL dvd to kvcd?

Hello i am trying to back up this PAL dvd which is 78 Minutes and 18 seconds. My script that i am using is

Code:

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll") 

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\GripFit_YV12.dll") 

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\STMedianFilter.dll") 

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\asharp.dll") 

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\unfilter.dll") 

LoadPlugin("D:\KVCD\avisynth plugins\undot.dll") 

Mpeg2Source("D:\movie\VIDEO_TS\movie.d2v")

undot() 

asharp(1, 4) 

BicubicResize(320,384,0,0.6,0,0,720,576)

STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 ) 

MergeChroma(blur(1.5)) 

MergeLuma(blur(0.1)) 



AddBorders(16,96,16,96)

#Trim(0,93965).FadeOut(150)  

ScriptClip(" nf = YDifferenceToNext()" +chr(13)+ "unfilter( -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)), -(fmin(round(nf)*2, 100)) ).TemporalSoften( fmin( round(2/nf), 6), round(1/nf) , round(3/nf) , 1, 1)  ") 





function fmin( int f1, int f2) { 

  return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2 

}

Now according to DVD2AVI the FPS was 20.00 when i encoded this movie using HC encoder. when it was done the movie seemed to play very very rapidly from frame to frame. I thought this might be a FPS issue as i have never dealt with PAL that much. so what do you guys suggest?

When your source is PAL, you must set the "field operation" (in video menu of DVD2AVI) to "None". This way you will obtain the correct FPS (25 of course).

Note: do not add the borders before the last filter, you will encode a lot faster.

Note2: for a 78 minute you can use 544x576 as resolution !

You can easily understand that the more pixels you give to a filter to analyse, the longer is the time to process the whole picture.
And I told you to not place it before the last filter... so after the scriptclip line !

The result won't be better with a smaller resolution. Poor results on anime are due to script not adapted to them.

yes i guess adding the dup and remove grain filter might give it a little twist. i'm encoding at 352x576. so even if i encoded at 544x576 resolution with these filters added it should clear up some of the mess.

Note: this movie is shark tale i already read a lot about a similar movie "Finding Nemo" which has a lot of underwater scenes. That is why i am using a low resolution trying to fit it on one cd

Code:

RemoveGrain() 

Deen() 

TemporalCleaner(3,15) 

Dup(threshold=3,maxcopies=3,blend=false)

Okay, this is a computer animated movie, so do not use the dup line on it.
I'm quite sure that you wontg have any problem at 544x576 with a min bitrate set to 64 and a max to 2300.

Note: I'm not sure HC is very good for low bitrate. WHy don't you use Tmgpenc ???
