Combining Fullscreen and Letterboxed Footage

[TheCatacomb]

I'm making a composite uncut DVD of a movie using two different sources: one is letterboxed, the other is fullscreen.

Since the majority of footage is letterboxed, I've converted the fullscreen video to match it. This is my first time converting to letterbox so I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this:

AVISource("D:\Stone Age\fullscreen.avi")
Crop(0,16, -12, -6) # Cropped VHS overscan and black borders
Spline36Resize(700,352) # Resized to match Letterbox.avi
AddBorders(20, 60, 0, 68) # NTSC

Looking forward to your suggestions.

I finished this project. I decided to keep the fullscreen footage as fullscreen. Converting to letterbox was distorting the footage way too much so I simply cropped off the overscan and added black borders.

Converting fulllscreen to letterboxed wouldn't be done by only resizing the height. To ~match your two videos:

AviSource("fullscreen.avi")
Spline36Resize(472,360)
AddBorders(120,60,128,60)
