    Video is 640X352=1.82

    Fit CD command is
    AVI Source("Cocuments and Settings\download")
    LanczosResize(668,352,6,0,628,352)
    AddBorders(16,64,16,64)
    #Trim(0,121745).FadeOut(150)

    I would like to see the actual screen of the picture bigger. Which code should be changed? Thanks

    Well dvd spec is 352x480 or 720x480. Is your resize setup correctly? Should the 352 be in front of the 668?

    The numbers are fine - straight out of FitCD, although I would have gone for anamorphic output myself.

    If you just want to see the results of the script without encoding, load it into virtualdub or media player classic (possibly even WMP) and play it as if it were the video. It should play back in realtime given it is doing very little.

    If converting to dvd and if the original avi has no AR problems then change the script to something like:

    Code:
    AVI Source("C:Documents and Settings\download")
    LanczosResize(720,472)
    AddBorders(0,4,0,4) 
    #Trim(0,121745).FadeOut(150)
    And encode to 16:9.


    If you want letterbox(4:3), change to

    Code:
    AVI Source("C:Documents and Settings\download")
    LanczosResize(720,352)
    AddBorders(0,64,0,64) 
    #Trim(0,121745).FadeOut(150)

    You sure? It seems to only add up to 700x480.

    668+16+16=700
    352+64+64=480

    You can't resize avi's with your script is they have 1:1 pixel aspect ratio (standard for AVI files. You have to compensate for the change to non-square pixels for TV.

    If I put 640 x 352 into FitCD, I get the same numbers back that the OP does. If I open the script in virtualdub and check the file information, I get a 720 x 480 resolution.

    When I pull the avs into VirtualDub, the size of the actual screen looks bigger than when I pull the final dvd ready video_ts into WMP. There are a lot more border on the final dvd video_ts WMP, so the actual screen looks smaller? If I burn the file to a dvd will the actual screen size that I see when I put in a dvd player the same size as WMP or the one in VirtualDub?

    Thanks

    By default, virtualdub expects 1:1 PAR input. Once you have loaded the script, you no longer have 1:1 PAR, so you have to change the display. Right-click on the left-hand (input) window and select 4:3 or 16:9 as appropriate. In this particular case it is 4:3. This will show you exactly how it will look on a TV.

    You can also verify as I did by going file -> file information and looking at the resolution.

    You could always turn off Blocks Overscan in FitCD.

    Or tick anamorphic, if you have a widescreen TV.

    Yes I realize avi's have a 1:1 pixel ar. And the scripts I created take that into account. It's been awhile since I used fitcd but this was the result I get with his source numbers:



    So if I set this up wrong, let me know

    And this was his script:

    Code:
    AVI Source("C:Documents and Settings\download")
    LanczosResize(668,352,6,0,628,352)
    AddBorders(16,64,16,64)
    #Trim(0,121745).FadeOut(150)
    Maybe he typo's and meant to put 688 for horizontal.

    You are right about the typo. You have the same numbers I get. I didn't even pick that up.

    When I turn off the block overscan in FitCD ie set it to zero, there is a huge border on the top and nothing at the bottom. When I load aysnith code into VirtualDub it told me that it is not dvd compliant. Also when I play the avs file, there is a huge border on the top and nothing (no border) on the bottom.

    Yes. It was a typo, it should be 688.

    Thanks

    And what script are you using that gives you this strange looking video?

    Also, as mentioned, you could make it anamorphic, if you're worried about the big black borders above and below.

    Use the settings in the screen shot posted above, but set no overscan blocks and it should be OK. As I have stated, I would also tick Anamorphic for output in this case and encode it as 16:9. You will get a better outcome.
