Hi all!

I'm gonna experiment a little and I'm trying to put the 210 ( ) minutes of Lord Of The Rings 1 Extended Edition on one 99 min. CD-R.
You might say this is impossible with an acceptable quality. However I want to try.
Here's my question: What kind of script would you use for it. I think it might be a good idea to add blockbuster noise to the very end, to avoid DCT-blocks, and use a higher sharpening value, something like
asharp(2.5,4)

Do you think it would be a good idea to use the adaptive blockbuster filter also? or should I just leave it detail-adaptive, as it already is?
thanks for replies!

hi my friend


maybe with this values asharp(2.5,4),
the image can stay very "brilliant" and
maybe "negative" in the edges.

blockbuster noise is a good choice but
CQ will decrease too much after prediction.

your only problem will be the low CQ.

Hey Jellygoose,

I think you can use the current script just as it is, but I would use 352x480(576) because that's a very long movie
Do a file prediction at 352x480(576) and see how the sample comes out. I'm pretty sure it will make it

I forgot, I actually planned to use 352x288 PAL VCD resolution for it... I'll run some prediction tests later tonight, and will compare both resolutions!
This is so much fun!

Not at 352x240(28
You should be able to put that on one CD at that resolution, because I put "The Green Mile" (180 minutes) on one CD with the LBR
CQ was up in the 50's.

Try this:

BlockBuster(method="noise", detail_min=1, detail_max=10, variance=0.7, seed=5823 )

That's for 352x240(28. Try it on a small clip first

Thanks. Right now I'm still doing tests for 352x576, and results are promising
However I have some problems with prediciton, because the film is on 2 DVDs... I would actually join the Vobs, but I need subtitles on both DVDs, and they would get out of sync I think
I can't even load both .d2v files into one AviSynth Script because of the Subtitles I think. Because I would need two VobSub lines, and the subtitles for both DVDs start at 0 minutes of course...
get that?

You're going to have to use Vobedit and Ifoedit to create a joined set of VOBs. Then you can tackle the task of encoding it

You know I can't wait kwag!!
What I'll do is just use ToK with the first DVD, then with the second, and just use half of the factor I'd use for a normal encode. Later I join the 2 files to 1 MPEG...
I know this is the dirtiest method to do this, but right now it works...

What I can say right now is this: Static Scenes just look for that length of a movie... when it comes to action, it gets blocky.
Artifacts around objects also concern me...

to have the two discs together, download claddvd it can rip dvds to one vob file, do this with both cd's and then put both vob files through dvd2avi and run the two vobs through IFO Edit and u should be set.

I get a CQ of 77.3 @ 352x288 resolution. But that's for a 99 min. CD-R and with 96kb audio... However, picture really looks ok for that length...
did you say ONLY 219 min. ??
What movies do you usually watch?

Results:

Ok, I wasn't really satisfied with my results for this movie, when I watched it on my computer monitor! I could clearly see that blocks showed up on high action scenes, the whole image seemed very soft (thus the resolution was only 352x28 and the worst thing was that I couldn't get rid of the artifacts around objects. However, I burnt it on CD and watched it on the standalone and the results were simply

I couldn't believe that this quality was achieved for 210 min. on a 99 min. CD-R. The picture looked way better than on the computer monitor. I know this is always the case, but the lower the resolution is, it seems to me the better artifacts are compensated by the DVD player. The artifacts around the objects were simply GONE!!
Even the image looked to me a LOT sharper than it seemed on the computer monitor!! Now it's not that the whole image is soft, but only background scenes are of less detail. That doesn't bother me at all... I'll post a sample later on, and you guys can watch it!!

Is your DVD player progressive?

Don't know... What do you mean by progressive?
If your question is if the player shows interlaced video or not, then no, there are no horizontal lines...
