Well then, do the resizing in the script and you'll get some more speed.
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\MergeChroma.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\MergeLuma.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\UnFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\STMedianFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\legalclip.dll")
avisource("C:\*.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
BicubicResize(352,576,0,0.6)
STMedianFilter(10, 30, 0, 0, 10, 30)
unfilter(50,50)
mergechroma(blur(1.50))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
LegalClip()
You may want to add some overscan blocks if your TV crops the picture. For 352x576 I use 2 overscan blocks (you can get the proper values with FitCD).
The script would look like this with 2 overscan blocks:
Code:
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\fluxsmooth.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\MergeChroma.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\MergeLuma.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\UnFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\STMedianFilter.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\sampler.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\fitcd\legalclip.dll")
avisource("C:\*.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LegalClip()
BicubicResize(320,528,0,0.6)
STMedianFilter(10, 30, 0, 0, 10, 30)
unfilter(50,50)
mergechroma(blur(1.50))
mergeluma(blur(0.2))
AddBorders(16,24,16,24)
LegalClip()
If you see the black borders, try 1 overscan block. Just replace 320,528 with 336,560 in the resizing line and use AddBorders(8,8,8,

(the last number is eight).
Overscan blocks allow you to use more CQ as there's less actual film pixels to encode. If your TV crops the picture, you can fill that area with black and won't lose any film pixels there.
