KVCD: BORDERS all around edges of video?
 

just finished encoding my kvcd, and instead of having a border at the top and bottem to keep the aspect ratio, iv got smaller borders on the sides as well, what did i do wrong??
heres my script

AviSource("c:\once.avi",false)
BlindPP(cpu=4)
Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_max =3,variance=0.1,seed=1)
Convolution3D(1, 6, 12, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
GripCrop(528, 576, overscan=2, source_anamorphic=false)
GripSize(resizer="LanczosResize")
Undot()
TemporalSoften(2,7,7,3,2)
DCTFilter(1,1,1,1,1,1,0.5,0)
#Blockbuster(method="noise",detail_min=1,detail_ma x=10,variance=0.3,seed=5623)
TextSub("c:\once.srt")
GripBorders()

would the screen size be okay when i burn to a cd and play on normal tv?
or was there something wrong in my script

also the video seems slightkly stretched

The borders done by the argument "overscan=2" in your Gripfit syntax got their sense as that black bordered area won't be seen on tv and on the other hand that safes bitrate as these black borders do almost not have informations for the encoder.

To check a proper Aspect ratio result, you can just add at the very end of your script a line

Simpleresize(768,576)

This at the end scales the stream to the right PAL square aspectratio and when opening that script then in Vdub "should" look ok. If not, then you did something wrong.
Also if setting Zoomplayer to display at 4:3 you also can directly use zoomplayer vor a good preview without that line.

If all appears ok, just delete that added simpleresize line before encoding that script.

INC Please ! Don't give such complicate hint to a newbie. Else we willhave tons of questions to answer after that :*)

To check the A/R of a script you just have to open it under a player that allow you to force the A/R like zoomplayer or bsplayer (but NOT wmp). You can even open it in tmpgenc (but the window is small, 320*240 by default) !

8O :) It was the adding of 1 (in words "one") line in a script he already uses :D

the film was fine once i burned it onto cd and played on my tv, thanks, this is the script i got from the xvid- kvcd section, can i always use this script for all my kvcds and get the correct aspect ratio??

Already asked and already answered :!:

The only change is if you are doing DVD source, as the script that you should use is the one for DVD clean source (known as MA script).

thanks, the final results have been awesomw since iv been usin the scripts
