The best approach is to use AssumeFPS(23.976) in your script, then load it into VDub and get the new running time. You can then use something like Wave Length Adjust (or Goldwave or WaveLab or...) to adjust the length of the audio to the new running time without changing the pitch.

If you do it this way the movie will run a little slower -- it won't be noticible -- but the audio will be in sync. This is what broadcasters in PAL countries usually do when showing 23.976fps material.

Aspect ratio problems with KVCDx3
 
Hoping someone can help. I've tried using GripFit with different downloaded avi's, and can't get the aspect ratio to work correctly using the posted instructions. Using KVCDx3 NTSC-Film template. AVS is:

LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\LegalClip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\Blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\FluxSmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\Sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Documents and Settings\default\Desktop\Encoding Stuff\Plugins\GripFit_preview.dll")
avisource("H:\Complete\MOVIE_NAME")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
GripCrop(544,480, overscan=1)
GripSize()
FluxSmooth()
#Blockbuster (method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1)
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)

I use 544x480 for compatibility with my Apex standalone.

If I set the Video Arrange Method to Center or Center (full screen) the image is distorted (usually stretched vertically). If I use Full Screen (keep aspect ratio) though it looks fine. Input is set to VGA 1:1. I've tried on two different movies: 608x336 23.976 Xvid and 640x272 23.976 Divx4 low motion.

Am I doing something wrong by using Full Screen? It seems from all the posts that I should be using Center.

Thanks.

HELP

i just burned a movie to a CD only to find the audio is out of sync!!

i have deleted all the files, so is there anyway to fix it??

Perfect Cell 01-24-2003 08:19 AM

MrCoopz

Just use vcdeasy. In one of the options ( I think is vcdrip ) you can tell the program where´s your vcd and then can rip the .mpeg from the .dat file burned in your vcd disc.

So, when you got the .mpeg file, use TMPGEnc do demultiplex it in video and audio again, correct the audio, multiplex again with BBmpeg, use vcdeasy to make another vcd, and finally burn and watch your vcd with new audio.

Simpleton 01-24-2003 12:25 PM

my computer is having a heartattack
 
I got my movie to work one of the downloads you guys gave me worked don't know which one.
I muxed it in bbmpeg and I got the new mpg file but every time I go to load it, it chokes up my computer. I admit my comp isn't a super comp or anything, but it shouldn't choke up a 1.4 P4. the new file is 400,000kb.
So I thought what the hell I will just burn it in nero. I put it in my dvd player and it looked great.(thanks to C3D and fareydust) But there was no sound so I think the sound is tripping it up. I have to reset my comp everytime, I try this file. :evil:
WHY OH WHY? LOL

Thanks

i have added convertto yuy2() to my avs script and it worked but the quality is not good it is playing in 336 x 192...

Hi Big,

I believe the 336 x 192 is the size that was automatically adjusted in TMPEG when you opened the .avs. Let's see your script. Post it here.

Hey fellas,

I've come to the conclusion that Kwag's templates (as they are) can't really handle Divx sources. Early encodes (October/November) were gorgeous, but current encodes have a uniform, hideous noise everywhere (no matter what filter I use).
I'm trying to mod the template (shrink GOP, change bitrate allocation, scene analysis, etc...) to give me the results I enjoyed with my first encode. I expected quality to get better, but it got worse. Instead, everyone seems to be hellbent on squeezing 2 hrs on to a CD-R , and 'Avisynthing' it to death. This method does horrible, awful things to low-bitrate sources (IMHO).

Is there any plan in the works to create a template tailored to Xvid / Divx sources?

Lower the GOP size of any KVCD template to 12 frames and use MSharpen filter :wink:

My KVCDX3 from a DivX source turn out great...

as a rule of thumb... If the DivX is a 2CD Movie (as most are) then I make 2 KVCD's... If its a 1CD Movie then I make it a 1 KVCD

Also notice the DirectShowSource below in my script...

I use FFDSHOW as my DivX decoder with only using postprocessing and at the highest settings. I have tested this on 3 different systems. A Win2000 machine (pentium3) ,a WinXP machine (pentium4) and an old Celeron 500 (WinXP) with no problems...

This is the Script I use...

LoadPlugin("D:\avs\plugin\dustv5.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\avs\plugin\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\avs\plugin\MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\avs\plugin\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\avs\plugin\TemporalCleaner.dll")
DirectShowSource("D:\divx.avi", fps=23.976)
EnsureVBRMP3Sync()
LegalClip()
BilinearResize(528,352)
spacedust()
TemporalCleaner()
#FluxSmooth()
#TemporalSmoother(2,2)
AddBorders(0,64,0,64)
LegalClip()

If you don't have an SSE CPU then I would use fluxsmooth() and
TemporalSmoother(2,2) instead of spacedust() and temporalcleaner()

Reno 02-04-2003 01:50 PM

@KingTuk -

Does your
----------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("D:\divx.avi", fps=23.976)

substitute for
----------------------------------------
AviSource("D:divk.avi", false) ?

i.e. -
----------------------------------------
DirectShowSource("D:\divx.avi", fps=23.976, false) ?



I D/L'ed the FFdirectshow bundle.
I'll get back to you on my results.
BTW, Do I need to uninstall Divx 5.0.2, or can I leave it? Ditto on 3.11A...


Thanks!!

Reno 02-04-2003 02:29 PM

I'm clearly not doing something right. Avisynth is giving me an "invalid argument" error message on the source line.

Wait.. now I'm getting 'unable to open, no combination of filters could be found to render the stream.'

Pardon me while I go crush something. :evil:
This is really beginning to test me. I suppose we'll see if I'm hard-headed enough to get through this particular brick wall...

FYI, I uninstalled my Divx stuff, and installed FFdshow instead.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Steve

KingTuk 02-04-2003 05:03 PM

when you install FFDSHOW and you goto the Codecs menu...
you place a check by which types of mpeg-4 files that you want FFDSHOW to be the main decoder of...

If your mediaplayer can play a DivX with FFDSHOW then it will also play through your AVS script...

I use Zoomplayer because it makes it very easy to see which directshow filters are being used to play the file so if it says ffdhow MPEG-4 Video Decoder when you look at Filter Properties then you know it's working correctly...

avisource and directshowsource are different and I have never used the false command in any of my scripts

Quible 02-21-2003 08:45 AM

I just decided to try this kvcd stuff after seeing the lotr tt sample. But before i can even really get started after following step #1 I don't get VBR audio stream detected I get the following message....


VirtualDub has detected an improper VBR audio encoding in the source AVI file and will rewrite the audio header with standard CBR values during processing for better compatibility. This may introduce up to 8587 ms of skew from the video stream. If this is unacceptable, decompress the *entire* audio stream to an uncompressed WAV file and recompress with a constant bitrate encoder. (bitrate: 122.1 funny little mark here 21.6 kbps)


the 8587 ms is different for different avi's...



What the hell am I doing wrong???????????
I've been trying to convert avi files to different formats for months now, by following different instructions from different sites and still have yet to make a perfect working CD. most of the time its the sound being out of skew a bit or the sound is crackly a bit and the video skips/jumppy.


PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME.

I'm really getting fustrated..wasting cd's...and yes when I test the mpg before burning, everything is perfect but when i got to use nero to burn as a vcd or svcd it tells me the MPG is not compliant blah blah blah and will reencode before burning(Sorry got of the initial topic...my bad)

serrabastien 02-21-2003 09:20 AM

Virtualdub tells me the same thing but it doesn't matter. Just extract your wave (full processing mode) and encode it as described in the divx to kvcd tutorial.

Of course your vcd or svcd are not standard compliant. But it's not a pb, bypass the warnng and burn it. Never reencode it with nero !!! You can uncheck when you create your (s)vcd under nero the option saying something like "make a standard vcd 2.0". Then you will not be warn anymore by nero.
One other thing to do is using vcdeasy.

Quible 02-21-2003 04:12 PM

I've actually tried burning that way but unless i let it reencode, after i burn it won't play in my dvd player.but if i reencode it will but the sound gets all screwed up etc etc.....

there was a mpg of scooby doo made by fastchef....i burned it both ways and by not reencoding it it wouldn't play so i reencoded it and it would play but the sound was out of sync....

like i've said i've been trying everything for months to get something right....i have managed to get a couple of cartoons to work but the sound has static noises throughout it almost like scratches on a record.....

just out of curiousity why shouldn't i reencode it....is that whats causing the out of syncing?

what does that mean and what can i do ??

jorel 02-23-2003 05:45 AM

try this:

in this line:
LoadPlugin("G:\dvd\TemporalCleaner\TemporalCleaner .dll")
change to:
LoadPlugin("G:\dvd\TemporalCleaner\TemporalCleaner old.dll")

and remove:
Version

will work! do a sample!
:wink:

bacce22 02-23-2003 05:49 AM
