I've been experimenting a few days with the DVD "Underworld" (Cool movie BTW!) and I've found that the best way to get as few artefacts (gibbs) as possible is to make a "clean" encode. That is, with out any filters ! The only thing I added to the resizing script was BlindPP(CPU=6) and that gave me the best quality I could possibly get (to my knowledge). Wierd, eh? The script I used is this:
Quote:
Mpeg2Source("D:\DVD Rip\Underworld\Underworld.d2v")
BlindPP(CPU=6)
LanczosResize(448, 272, 20, 54, 680, 367)
AddBorders(16, 104, 16, 104)
Simple as can be... Of course, one major downer to using a script like this I that the compression doesn't get quite as good as you would wish .
Just wanted to inform you guys. Maybe someone else has experienced the same thing?

Just a note : don't use blindPP with mpeg2source. Use internal PP of the mpeg2 decoder with :

"Mpeg2source("xxx.d2v",cpu=6).

Note2 : cpu=6 blur A LOT the video ! You think you aren't using any filters ? cpu=6 is equivalent to make a blur(0.2) + a spatial filter aimed on the DCT block borders.

If your script with filters used cpu=4 for instance, for sure they can have much more artefacts.

Okay! Didn't know that Dialhot. You learn something new every day, eh?
No BlindPP with MPEG2 source... I'll swith to your suggestion instead then. BTW If my source is interlaced I have to add "Interlaced=True", right? Goes for the BlindPP command too I guess...

hey Phil,
you need to write a KVCD manual,
great hints!
