After a couple of test runs using Razorblades' KVCD Guide (http://www.angelfire.com/film/kvcd/g.../index_en.html), I tried the latest MA script on my 114min NTSC (23.976) movie. The source resolution was 640x352.

In Moviestaker, under Mpeg Resizing the Destination resolution is shown as 352x240. However, when I loaded the MA script in ToK and encoded the movie, the resolution came out as 352x288 (!). I only noticed when I tried to burn the encoded movie and VCDEasy came up with an error message that the standard NTSC resolution is 352x240.

The only possible source for the problem is the script, so I took a second look and I think I found the problem. Following Razorblades' guide, I had changed one line to:

Gripcrop (352, 288, source_anamorphic=false)

I can see now that such a line would be appropriate for PAL movies, but wouldn't work for NTSC movies. Would the corresponding line for NTSC movies be:

Gripcrop (352, 240, source_anamorphic=false) ?

What's the significance of the source setting and does it change for NTSC as opposed to PAL movies? I would welcome the education. Thanks.

If you look at all the optimal script we provide on the site you will see :

Code:
Gripcrop(X,Y)
or
Code:
Gripcrop(WIDTH, HEIGHT,source_anamorphic=false)
We do let the width and the height as undefined values to remember to the people taht these are to be setted according to the movie you encode.

The guide is a little erreneous if it does not precise this point.
