KVCD: Incorrect Screen Format?

shibumi · #1 10-30-2003, 07:32 PM

I have an xsvcd which is 480x480(16:9) at 29.970fps. As my dvd player only plays pal discs Im converting it to pal using the MA script.everything is fine apart from when it is encoded I end up with vertical borders down each side of the screen,the movie plays fine but on a widescreen TV it shows up as 4:3 with a 2inch border on the left side and on the right side. I was wondering what line I could put in a script to get it to fill the full width of the screen.I use Tok but have been trying just loading the script into TMPGenc and adjusting various settings but the uotput result is always the same,Any help would be gratefully appreciated.Heres the 1st few lines of my script-

## Main section and static filters ###
#
Mpeg2Source("C:\Documents and Settings\stu\Desktop\Myxsvcd.d2v")
#
undot()
Limiter()
asharp(1, 4)
GripCrop(352, 240, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="BicubicResize")
STMedianFilter(3, 3, 1, 1 )
MergeChroma(blur(MaxTreshold))
MergeLuma(blur(0.1))

The rest is as per MA script.

Your TV is widescreen so you have to use :

Code:

GripCrop(352, 240, source_anamorphic=false,dest_anamorphic=true)

But your CQ will suffer from this. Be carefull.

Also make sure that you have TMPGEnc set to 4:3 anyway, and under "Video Arrange Method" set to Center.

If I use the line

GripCrop(352, 240, source_anamorphic=false,dest_anamorphic=true)

then Tmpgenc and Tok just dissapear and shut themselves down,it doesnt mind the source anamorphic part but the dest anamorphic causes it to crash for some reason.

And I have Tmpgenc set to 4:3 and it doesnt make any difference what I have it set to with this particular file.Ive tried various tmpgenc settings but the output is always the same.

Do you know how to use Moviestacker ? If yes, drop Gripcrop and use Moviestacker for the resizing parameters.

If not, open you avs script in wmp and see if there is an error reported.

Not sure how to use the resize in moviestacker without gripcrop,I'll go search.I can open my avs script in wmp no probs but the output is still a perfect square,ie width the same as height,when outputted on my tv it has small borders top n bottom but great big ones on the left n right. Strange that I cant get tmpgenc to accept my script with the dest anamorphic line in!!
