ok im kind new here and i was reading black prince's guide and i dont know what to do with movie stacker. i need step by step instructions. im trying to do monsters inc with dvd type menu (by VMesquita) the movie is like 93 min long and i want to use theKVCDx3-MPEG-1-NTSCFilm.mcf TMPGEnc Template (528x480 Average of 100 minutes of "widescreen" or 75 minutes of Full screen" on a 80 min cd-r) please help ! any suggestions will be help full. thanx

Do you use avs2.08 or avs2.53 ?

avisynth 208

i never made a kvcd before and i need to know how to use and understand step 4 and step 5 on black prince's dvd to kvcd guide

i made a newbie guide for making a script with MovieStacker
http://www.angelfire.com/film/rendal...ker_guide.html

Hope it helps-- if not I'm going to delete that crap from my webspace! LOL

Looks good ren :D

-kwag

thanx ren so much. i'll give it a shot.
but can i still use avisynth 2.08?

HELP
 

i have a copy of t3 on dvd that i wish to back up to kvcd over 1 cd, the film is 104 mins long. i have been using the latest scipt advised by black prince using 352x288 resolution. the problem is when i test the script in full screen the image tends to be block around the actors. is there any where to smooth it down or remove the blocks

Re: HELP
 

What was the exact script ? We can't have in memory all scripts provided by all guides existing nearby.

hey ren (or any one else that can help) i have tried your guide and the source that you use is .avi format. (i only have .ac3 , .d2v , .ifo and .vob formats) i dont quite understand. so sorry i am slow. please help. thanx

Just open d2v insteed of avi in moviestaker !

thanx for the response but i don't understand moviestacker cause the guides only for .avi format. is there any guide for the .d2v format? thanx

There is no difference in the usage of movistacker whatever the source is !

thanx

i now dont understand the scripts and how to use them. please help. i'm getting very frustrated. sorry for my lack of knowledge. thanx

I'm not sure but vdub shouldn't be used in your case as it is used for extracting audio from an avi and there you are doing a DVD.
I didn't use Tok since a VERY long time (it's a dead tool BTW) but I guess that there is a problem and you should do the audio yourself and provide the mp2 file directly to Tok.

For sampler, search on the forum with "sampler AND rar" as pattern and you will find it :-)

Note: UPDATE YOUR SCRIPT !!!!!

Cheers Dialhot.. BUT
 

Hey dial hot . cheers mate. i found one of u earlier posts and managed to get the sampler .dll of that. about the script, i found it on the optimal script section. Ive been trying encode hulk which is like 135mins long to fit on one cd buts its been a pain.. I encoded half of the movie using an avs script through tmpegenc but the film speeds up in someplaces . Can u post a good script for me to do a dvd to kvcd conversion PLEASE, preferbly something that will retain the quality with a film of that length on 1 cd.. Also u said TOK is a dead tool so which one do u use or advise to be used for this.

Re: Cheers Dialhot.. BUT
 

The script you usethe first MA script we did, the 16 june 2003 ! It was modified (and enhanced) 16 times since there.

Trust me, if I tell you to update it, it's because you need it :-)

The "unefficiency" of the script is for a big part in this.

"Optimal script" section of the forum, you have a sticky post called "latest optimal script". All is there.

CQMatic. Again, see the corresponding section of the forum.

Yo Dial Hot and Kwag
 

Hey i tried the script i placed on one of my earlier posts just for testing but the film turned out to be blocky and too soft and blured so i want to do it again. So are scripts posted at this link the best ones http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3483 also what the latest MA script i went to one of the discussions on the latest MA script, but there were so many postings in it that i got really confused.Which script would you guys advise me to use for a 135 min film in widescreen and Ma or an optimum script and which one.Please help guys cos ive been pulling my hair over this. Also is it possible for me to increase resolution from 352x288 to something larger to remove the blocks without loosing out on CQ (preferbly cq70) and still being able to fit on one 80min cd.

Cheers guys

Re: Yo Dial Hot and Kwag
 

The choice comes in two parts :

- which script ? MA if the source is a DVD, my "V4" script if the source is an avi (see the avi->kvcd section of the forum)

- which resolution ? All depend on the length. By experience I have good results (ie never less than 70) with this :

1h45 movie : 544*576
2h00 movie : 480*576
2h15 movie : 352*576
above -> 352*288.

For you movie, you can try 352*576 but if there is too much action, you won't have a correct CQ with other res then 352*288.

Yo Dial hot
 

Yo phil you only answerd half of my question mate.em... One of the most crucial things i want to know is which MA script should i use because as i stated earlier that script i went to one of the discussions on the latest MA script, but there were so many postings on additions and revisions that could be added to the script that i got really confused. Please post a script for me as oppose to directing me as to where i should look as im a newbie at this whole thing and so i cant understand many peoples posts. Thanx phil

Hi Xavier,
In fact Phil answered your question on the script: he told you to use MA (short for Motion Adaptative) if your source is DVD or his great V4 if your source is AVI/DivX/XviD.
MA you already found in the thread you pointed out. Its the one that starts with V4 you can find at avi->kvcd http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7223
Happy encodings

And to clarify rds answer : the MA script in the thread is ALREADY the last one, with all the revisions indicated under already included.
We just keep the "history" of what was done in the script, for memory :-)
(that's what is commonly called a "change log").

Re: Continuation of my question
 

That is quite normal for that res, viewed on your PC fullscreen. This disappears however when viewed on your TV. :wink:

Up the resolution to something like Phil said, 544x576 :)

New to this , been trying this guide.
Using avisynth 2.5. Using dvd2avi for the d2v file and besweet for the mp2 file.

Loaded the script in tok, selected 2 cd's as the movie is 180 mins.
Selected Mp2 file and start
Tmpenc opens and does the prediction finally settling for 576*56,
How do i fix the resolution I want ?
After that bbmpeg opens i.e avi2mpg2 but nothing happens.


Where am i going wrong?
Someone just guide me so i can get through the process.

Trying to make a KSvcd

That resolution means that there is an error in the script

Open it in vdub or WMP and see what the error is

I have to add to what bigggt said :

1/ thje script of this guide is VERY old. Go in the optimal section and pick the latest one
2/ you letterbox line is wrong : you put a border on the right and bottom sides only. Very weird.

Done
 

Yeah got the mistake, all's well now on my way to my first KSvcd.

Made mistakes in the script , read thru red's guide and made a new script using Moviestacker.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers!

This will be a problem since the scripts in moviestacker are for avisynth 2.08

If you are using 2.5 just copy and paste the MA script from here

http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3483[/quote]

Yep
 

Have picked up this script , just need to get all the dll files some are missing,shall let u all knowhow it goes.

HI here is a good website to get most if not all the filters

http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/

Stuck
 

Could not get all the filters.

Now what i have done is gotmyself avisynth 2.08

Uninstalled 2.5.

When i provide the source (d2v) file , the length is not right.

The length is 179m26s it shows 143m44s.

The reason i wanna make my script thru moviestacker is so i can do the file prediction manually which is better.

You will get a much better result using 2.53 ,which filters could you not get and use cq matic for prediction as it is very accurate
