Editing avisynth script

[peter p]

Where can I get step by step instructions on how to edit the avisynth script in DVD2SVCD?

You mean details on AVISynth script usage? Or you want to know how you can get to edit the option to script?

[peter p]

In dvd2svcd there is a frameserver setting that has a section on how to edit borders with avisynth but I can't figure out how to do it.
It has something like this

0=bicubic resize ^width^height^b_value^c_value
1=add borders ^ " " " "
^b_value=
^c_value=

Something like this. No matter what I do the borders are always there.

could be that even though ur goign anamorphic you've got super widescreen source (ratio greater than 1.77:1) in which case you need the black bars to maintain the correct aspect ratio

I've converted 4:3 avis and dvd2svcd always adds border for me as well.

I bypass by selecting "Edit as part of video encoding" in the "edit the avisynth script file" section in the "frameserver" tab.
That way you get a popup of the final script before the encoder starts which you can alter.
A pain though cause you can't then batch.

Or you can press the symbol of the hand writing on paper on the right of the "frameserver" tab and change:
0=LanczosResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight)
1=AddBorders(^BorderLeft,^BorderTop,^BorderRight,^ BorderBottom)

to something like:
0=LanczosResize(720,480)

Once I edit the script with Frameserver,which do I have to check
"No editing"
"Edit when avi2dvd is done"
"Edit as part of video encoding"

Thanks

'No editing' would be preferable however it could be beneficial to try 'edit as part of video encoding' once to see the script and make sure all is as you want.
