Problem Framserving Xvid AVI

[reload_effect]

I'm following a few guides from this site on how to convert xvid to dvd. (mainly this one https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=185077&highlight=xvid+dvd+fast ) i'm having problems at the frameserving point using avisynth. i have opened the avi file in GSpot and it says that i have 4 codecs installed to read the file
- {XviD MPEG-4 Codec}
- {ffdshow MPEG-4 Video Decoder}
- {XviD MPEG-4 Video Decoder}
- {DivX Decoder Filter}
- {DivX Decoder Filter}

my avs file looks as follows
AviSource("E:\1x01.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
BicubicResize(720,540)
ResampleAudio(44100)

i have also tried
AviSource("E:\1x01.avi")
LanczosResize(720,540)
ConvertToYUY2()
ResampleAudio(44100)

when i try to play the avs file in windows media player, it plays really slow and the video plays more like a series of jpg's. the audio also makes popping noises. I have scanned the avi file for freezes with virtualdub-mp3 and it said there were no bad frames. when i tried to convert this to the dvd file with CCE, it failed shortly after starting.

is it something i am doing wrong?

First of all all that playing in WMP means is that your avisynth syntax is ok. The fact that it's playing slowly is irrelevant - it's just trying to do realtime what you've asked for. (resize, convert format ,resample audio etc). WMP or any player cannot do this realtime and give smooth playing results.

Secondly, looking at your script a resize of 720,540 is not a DVD spec framesize which may cause your CCE problems

None of this however may be the cause of your problem (just a disclaimer on my part!)

hi

i'll try changing it to the correct dvd size. i used that, because in the guide it tried to keep it to the same aspect ratio.

thanks for your help
