DVD2ONE vs KDVD?
Using:
DVD Decryptor DVD2AVI (Force film) TMPGEnc (KDVD full, latest Optimum AVS for DVD) Headac3he (MP2, 48000,128) IfoEdit Imgtool As DVD2ONE encode of AOTC (2:20, 16:9) has horizonal lines, will using KDVD at CQ 80-90 produce better copy? Should I use letterbox() for 16:9 in latest Optimum AVS? IfoEdit log screen shows 29.97fps, even though KDVD output was 23. Is this ok? Can I use MP2, 48000 128 in IfoEdit? |

Hi Kwag,
If the source DVD is an Anamorphic and I want to keep it as Anamorphic as well, then why this is the case as you suggested? "Your line should really look like this: GripCrop(720, 480, source_anamorphic=false, dest_anamorphic=true)". Shouldn't it be---source_anamorphic=true and dest_anamorphic=true??? |
Yes, but source_anamorphic=true should already be the default detected by GripCrop. So you shouldn't need to specify it.

Questions as I progress.
:?: In the "Video" tab in TMPGEnc, what should the "Aspect ratio" be? KDVD template sets as "16:9".
:?: In the "Advanced" tab in TMPGEnc, what should "Source aspect ratio" be? KDVD template sets as "4:3 525 line (NTSC, 704x480)". :?: What should the "Video arrange Method" be. KDVD template sets as "Full screen (keep aspect ratio). :?: I assume BBMPEG is not needed, as muxing occurs in IfoEdit? :?: Is there quality increase above 90 CQ. |
Video Tab:
If your movie is 16:9 change the setting to 16:9, so in the future if you buy a widescreen TV, it will be compatible. Your current DVD player will automatically configure the 16:9 output to fit on a 4:3 screen. Changing the output to 4:3 under the Video Tab will compress file size and allow you to use a higher CQ, but it will be stretched when viewed on a widescreen TV. (I do not have a widescreen tv to confirm this, but this is what I have read) Advanced Tab: Same as above Video Arrange Method: You will want this set to Full Screen(keep aspect ratio). If you do not your picture will be stretched on a 4:3 TV. BBMPEG: You will not need to do this since IfoEdit asks you to specify the video and audio separately, and does not allow you to add previously muxed mpegs. If you use any other DVD Authoring program they usually need the audio and video muxed before authoring. Quality Increase: According to the posts on this website, there is no increase in quality above 90 that is noticeable to the human eye during playback. |
:D Great! Your advice matches what I thought the settings should be.

:lol: Thanks for your advice and patience. I really appreciate the aid! :?: Could I suggest a section for Cartoon DVDs in the "Optimal scripts" section? NickSteel |

Edit: Just addded a note on the latest script :wink: -kwag |
Why has "Anime" become the standard name for animated movies or shows? Don't kids or adults watch just cartoons anymore? Everything is anime this anime that. :D Pretty soon Disney animated movies will be listed under ANIME.

I assume you are playing back your encoded MPEG on a software player :?: Have you burned it to DVD-R :?: If you play back the mpeg you created in WinDVD, it will look taller, because your mpeg is anamorphic. When you burn this to a DVD as 16:9, the aspect will be corrected, and it will look correct on your TV. -kwag |

If I understand correctly, you burned it as SVCD :?:
If that is the case, then you had to encode as: GripCrop(720, 480, dest_anamorphic=False) Then it will look correct :) -kwag |
Thanks! That fixed my screen size problem.
Bye the way, what value do I use for DVD+ 4.7GB to establish sample size? For example, I use 800 - MP2 size for SVCD, what do I use for DVD, 4700 - MP2 size or 4380 - MP2 size? |
