Wrong Resolution in Output?

heiloku · #1 10-02-2003, 06:45 AM

Hi everybody, I am a newbie here though I've been KVCDing for a good while. Lately a friend of mine has got a DVD Burner and I was trying to make some 352x576 KDVD out of a 608x336 avi. The problem is that the output hasn't got the same aspect ratio as the image is vertically streteched. Is there any line I should add to the script to compensate for this? I used to have the same problem when converting to KVCD x3 528x576, usually with 16:9 sources. Any tip you could give me? Thanks and greetings

You can either use 'AddBorders' function in AviSynth or you can use SansGrip's GripCrop plugin which keeps the aspect ratio and adds the borders automatically.

Usage:

Code:

GripCrop(352, 576, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
GripBorders()

I believe you can find the GripCrop plugin here: www.jltoca.uaivip.com.br/files/KDVDfilters.zip.

Thanks Siku, tried that but I get a nasty error message from avisynth: "GripBorders: Must run GripSize before GripBorders", and I can't see the point because I run GripSize. This is my script, anyway:

Code:

AviSource("Dark Angel - 1x02 - Ardor-Spanish(by henky para www.tusseries.tk)(DVD+VHS).avi")
BlindPP(cpu=4) 
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max=3,variance=0.1,seed=1) 
ATC(2,3,5,0.5,false) 
GripCrop(352, 576, overscan=1, source_anamorphic=false) 
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize") 
GripBorders()
Undot() 
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2) 
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0) 
GripBorders()

I've tried both CCE and TMPGEnc with the same problem, both the aspect ratio problem and this avisynth problem.
I don't know if I explain myself clearly before, the problem is when the output is played the vertical image is somehow narrower, so if the input was 336 the output is something like 300 thus getting a wrong aspect ratio.

You have the 'GripBorders()' twice in your script, try to remove the another one and try if it works.
