KVCD: AVI to KVCD NTSCfilm Plus?

[andybno1]

I have done a 3 min 54sec test snippet (using my modified KVCD NTSCFilm PLUS template with 20mb output with sound) of a avi and used this script:

Quote:

LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\dustv5.dll")

aviSource("C:\video.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
GripCrop( width=352, height=576, overscan=0 )
GripSize()
faerydust()
Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")
Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

when I view the mpg after everything is done through windvd the picture is tres bien but when I view it on my TV its very blocky. Any suggestions to what I can add to the script to get rid of the blocks?? as a side not I'm using a PAL NTSC compatible TV.

Probably nothing if your source is a DivX. You probably get excelent quality on your TV with your script if the source was a DVD.

ok, just done a test of the file to normal vcd and well it was much better quality and less blocky sorry kwag but its true, I guess kvcd is best with dvd sources and not avi.

You can using Blockbuster with stronger settings to like BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=100,variance=4). This will process all the blocks. If it's too grainy, lower the variance.

cheers I will give it a try and let you know if it helped.

here is the script I used:

Quote:

LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\dustv5.dll")

aviSource("C:\video.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
GripCrop( width=352, height=480, overscan=0 )
GripSize()
SpaceDust()
FaeryDust()
Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")
BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=100,variance=4)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()

and when played I got this.

just been watching the source avi file and the avi file has corrupt frames and when encoded to kvcd when the corrupt frame come along, the audio goes out of sync, how do I fix this?

[andybno1]

Does your avi file play correctly in WMP? Something is really weird with that "looping" you're getting

[andybno1]

nope, how you see it is how I'm seeing it in wmp windvd and standalone. I think its down to that command line rendalunit told me to add, it was encoding fine till that blockbuster command was suggested so its something in the command line: BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=100,variance=4)
