is there such a template such as KVCDx3 352x576 or something close to that size?

because my encodes are coming out at like (50+) CQ using CQmatic just want it smaller so i can add more quality

due to the final project having teething problems e.g. the pitcure breaks up and blocky for a few mintues more so on the begining of the movie when the cast names are displayed but throught the actual movie the video and audio is fine

well this is what ive done

reset cut editing..
saved as text file
loaded in cqmatic got correct reading
then in settings , ive put the video tab as [b]4:3 625 line (pal)
advanced tab as 4:3 display & full screen (keep aspect ratio
and kept the motion search precision as normal


and finally my script is as follows...

####
## Main section and static filters ###
#
Mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\Shane\Desktop\Wickerman.d2v")
#
undot()
asharp(1, 4)
GripCrop(352,576, source_anamorphic=false, resize_round_width=2, resize_round_height=2)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 )
MergeChroma(blur(1.5))
MergeLuma(blur(0.1))
#
#

## Linear Motion Adaptive Filtering ##
#
# ( Portions from AviSynth's manual )
# This will apply variable temporalsoften
# and variable blur.
# Both filters are active at all times, and work inversely proportional to the
# activity, measured from current frame to next frame.

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) ")

#
#
#

GripBorders()
#LetterBox( Your_Values_Here ) # Depends on situation. Use MovieStacker!

#
#
## Functions ###

function fmin( int f1, int f2) {
return ( f1<f2 ) ? f1 : f2
}

ive read so far that you are best using KVCDx3 templates?

thanks

In the tempaltes, what is really important is everything else the resolution. I mean that you can set manually the resolution you want after you have loaded the template. Actually, if you load the script after the template, the resolution will be the one of the script.

I think I answered that one here :

(edit: actually all other question are yet answered in that other thread. )

Your process is correct but you should not use Gripcrop, we found too much bugs in it. You should better learn how to use tools like FitCD or Paranoia (here on the forum) that give you crop/resize lines using internal avisytnh command.

Yes it is. But KVCDx3 template are nothing else but other templates with a "spepcial" resolution (544*576) that gives a good compromize between sharness and frame resolution. But here it seems that you need a 352*576 picture for your project.

As I said, just load the template (kvcdx3 for instance) and then your script and all will be fine.
