@ Supermule

IF GripFit_YV12.dll does work, then I would let Gripfit do the job as it gots an internal movie-frames-sample-count autocropper following by a PAR! based resizer. Gripfit does a very good job mainly on PAR1:1 inputs.

So if no Errors do occur (example: in case of using makeavis.exe), then try it.

Where can I find a Gripfit, I searched with no results.

This is not truth: The functions below take the features that you said into account:

Code:

Function SimpleDVDCrop(clip c, bool interlaced) {

   global SourceDVDHeight=c.height()

   global SourceDVDWidth=c.width()

   c=(interlaced==false) ? AutoCrop(c,0, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 40, 10) : c

   return(c)

}



Function SimpleDVDResize(clip c, int NewFullWidth, int NewFullHeight, int source_widescreen, int widescreen) {

   SAR=(source_widescreen==0) ? 1.3333 : 1.77777

   DAR=(widescreen==0) ? 1.3333 : 1.77777

   #Factor is: (SourceHeight with borders*SourceAspectRatio) /

   #            (Newheight with borders*DestinationAspectRatio)

   factor= ((SourceDVDHeight*1.0)*SAR) / ( (NewFullHeight*1.0)*DAR)

   # Stores parameters to be used again later

   global gNewFullWidth = NewFullWidth

   global gNewFullHeight = NewFullHeight

   #



Function SimpleAddBorders(clip c) {

   HorizontalBorder=((gNewFullWidth-c.width()) != 0 ) ? (gNewFullWidth-c.width)/2 : 0



   FullVerticalBorder=((gNewFullHeight-c.height()) != 0 ) ? (gNewFullHeight-c.height) : 0

   TopBorder=(FullVerticalBorder !=0) ? round((FullVerticalBorder/16))*8 : 0

   BottomBorder=(FullVerticalBorder !=0) ? ( round((FullVerticalBorder/16))*8+(FullVerticalBorder % 16) ) : 0

   c=addborders(c,HorizontalBorder,TopBorder,HorizontalBorder,BottomBorder)

   return(c)

}

Just for clarifying the things up (no "war flame" at all, OK ???).

Cya!

And why would we think of such a thing, Danilo?
All is fine from my point of view.
Nice seeing you around ;-).
Cheers

EDITED
BTW from where I stand, I think we should never use GripFit, DivxResize - or whatever plugin or function out there - to resize our video.
Simply take Moviestacker or FitCD and do the job manually.
This way one get's the feeling of what will happen to the video with more overscan or less overscan and all.
But the above mentioned tools are good for newbies that don't know how to use MS or FitCD and want to see a movie encoded just to get started.

Many times AutoCrop (or any other automatic cropping method) will fail to crop some garbage lines. I usually run AutoCrop and then check the result manually, there are often some extra pixels to crop.

The best cropping tool is Vdub with null transform filter applied, and manually finding out film pixel area ;)

You're right. I'd read and read again the function to find where it was done and I just see the "autocrop" line now.
:arrow: But it does this only with non interlaced sources.

Code:

Function SimpleDVDCrop(clip c, bool interlaced) {

   global SourceDVDHeight=c.height()

   global SourceDVDWidth=c.width()

   c=(interlaced==false) ? AutoCrop(c,0, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 40, 10) : c

   return(c)

}

Note: autocrop always fails by 2 pixels on the left side.

Now I've to say: this is very true :!: :D For interlaced sources there are other functions available only for GOLD user.

@All

Obviously I agree that do use 'manual' crop/resize procedure does the trick (I mean to use FitCD - my preferred tool for now - or other equivalent tool) cos in this way the advanced user can tweak the parameters in accordance with your taste. The above functions are intended for another kinda user, which are the guys that like of solutions 'one click button and go to take a beer' :lol:.

That's all folks!

Cya!

What was the problem with GripCrop?
I never had a problem except using it when doing a fake avi using makeavis.exe out of such a script.

Is there a source of addbordes() available?
Maybe I could fix and compile it as new using MinGw. Or Vmesquita could have a look at it as he gots much more skills in c++ work and compiling such a dll.

I think you need VC exclusively to compile AviSynth and filters.

Very common "avisynth caugth an error..." during the encoding that disappears when you remove Gripcrop. This can have been solved with newer avisynth release but I do not use Gripfit since 2.5.4.

Ah, I see ...

Then maybe someone should at least give Latexx a PM if he maybe could again look at the sources and maybe mod them for proper avs 2.54 and up usage as he was the one who made GripFit capable handling YV12 sources also.

- what do you think is not respectous in Inc post?. Just opposite, his kind suggestion is in order to help developer fix a bug :?:
- when you say Latexx is not with as now you mean with us at KVCD.net, or that he is not with us and won't be never again. Please clarify this. I don't like it when someone disappears from forums and we don't know about them ever again (like bilu and many others). I know, it's silly, but makes me worry.

And actually Latexxx hasn't disappeared anywhere, he's for example active at the Hydrogenaudio forums. Inc meant that someone should ask him if he could check the code and see if he can fix it. SansGrip's not been around for a while so I don't think he's going to do anything about it.
