I'm posting a script here, of a movie I encoded, in the chance, that somebody may look at it, and offer any suggestions as far as different settings,values, or additional filters that could be used, to improve the quality of the picture.

# -= AviSynth script by MovieStacker v2.0.0 (beta3) =- #

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\MPEG2Dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\TemporalCleanerOld.dll" )
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\DustV5.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\UnFilter.dll")

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MovieStacker\Filters\Sampler.dll")

Mpeg2Source("C:\MOVIE\DVAV\LAW.d2v")
LegalClip()
BilinearResize(544, 366, 3, 0, 714, 480)
SpaceDust()
UnFilter(50, 50)
TemporalCleaner(5, 10)
MergeChroma(blur(1.5)
MergeLuma(blur(0.2))
AddBorders(0, 57, 0, 57)
LegalClip()

#Sampler(length=24)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/MovieTimeInMinutes)/24) * MPEG sample file size * .98 ##

Nothing to say except : set moviestacker to generate size that are divisible by 8 or better, 16 (use the sliders under each settings to adjust that)

544x366 with 57 pixels border, isn't very optimal.

Well if 544x366 with 57 pixels border, isn't very optimal.....then what is?

As dialhot said, use the sliders under each settings to adjust that, and Moviestacker will give you the right (even) values.
