gripcrop issue
 

Hi all

I am trying to encode 51st state dvdrip. I have use the following filters in my script:
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\GripFit_preview.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\blockbuster.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\legalclip.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\convolution3d.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\encoding\dustv5.dll")

Mpeg2Source("xxxxxx.d2v")
LegalClip()
Fluxsmooth()
GripCrop( width=544, height=576, overscan=2 )
GripSize()
FearyDust()
#Convolution3D(preset="movieLQ")
#Blockbuster(method="noise", variance=.3, seed=1)
GripBorders()
LegalClip()
#Sampler(length=24)

The output quality played back on my dvd player is amazing!! the only fault is that the sides are cut of quite bad (about 1" of movie is missing) 8(

Is it GripBorders() that is causing this?

Please help :?

Thanks. :)

Hi Adder,

Change this:
GripCrop( width=544, height=576, overscan=2 )
To this:
GripCrop( width=544, height=576, overscan=1 )

And if that doesn't do it, then set overscan to 0. :wink:

Hi kwag :)

thanks for the prompt reply! :wink:

You say change overscan to 1 instead of 2, but in some your scripts you have posted you use 2, is it certain TVs that are different, or movies?

I have another question :lol:

Am i correct in saying that when using gripfit you use source aspect ratio as center?

Once again many thanks :D

Yes, It depends on your TV. Some TV's stretch the movie flush with the edges with 1 overscan blocks. With 2, some display black edges ( like your's ). So I suggest you use 1 overscan block :) Yes. GripFit takes care of the sizing for you, and TMPEG "center" encodes with the correct aspect.

Overscan is different for TV´s. I use overscan=3, because if I use 2 the subtitles from my anime encodes are ripped and I can´t see them... :cry:

But if I use 3 all my encodes plays wonderfull in my TV.

When I use gripfit, I normally set the source and destination aspect ratio like 1:1 ( VGA ) because I whant them to play like I see in my monitor. Maybe you must change to the others values ( 4:3 or 16:9 ) if you want a fullscreen or a widescreen movie differents from your source.

Hi kwag

the movie does flush to the sides of screen (no black borders) just that i lose a lot of the movie from sides. I originally had overscan=2 i changed this 1 and with 1 it loses even more of the movie! :-(

now trying with 0.

Can you help me any more :?

Thanks.[/quote]

Hi kwag

With my tv for some reason, using gripfit it seems like the lower the overscan the more sides of the movie are choped :cry:

Looks like i may be going back to fitcd :( and using its cropping and resizing in tmpegenc. Shame i really like this gripfit :cry:

Thanks anyway,
