Tool for resizing for encoder?

[uniks]

Sorry, I forgot what is that tool that is used to resize the avi file so when you encode it with CCE it isn't in 1/4 of the screen?

[mats.hogberg]

AviSynth?

No, AviSynth is just used by this application.

[uniks]

nevermind, it's this-

Unfortunately it doesn't work, I followed the guide to the letter, is there a better tool for resizing before encoding?

[mats.hogberg]

What didn't work? FitCD just creates the avs script for you. (There's nothing better than resizing with AviSynth, IMO)

FitCD is a utility to help you make Avisynth scripts.
So have you installed Avisynth?
Preferably, install VirtualDubMod too.

[uniks]

I know all that and FitCD doesn't work, it has no preview, so I can't tell if it worked until the encoding with CCE is finished. The size was just slightly different, it completely failed to perform it's function, and I followed instructions from here-

So, I found another tool- Aviscript 2.9, it has preview, but in my case I only see blank screen, it says that when this happens it's probably because the proper codec isn't installed, I have klite mega codec152 with lots of stuff.

What other codec do I need to install?

the codec that matches your source file (only) ... never install codec packs

[Alex_ander]

What does GSpot or MediaInfo show for your file (codec types for audio/video)?
You can try to change AviFileSource to DirectShowSource if you can play your file but can't open it via script.
One more good script editor is AVSP (free), it has internal preview, string prompts on mouse click, etc. Creates file import string on dragging your file to edit window.

Nonsense. Open the script in VDub(Mod) before sending to the encoder, to check if it's OK. That's something you should be doing anyway. If something's wrong (no installed AviSynth, for example), it'll give you an error message to help diagnose the reason.

Codec : DivX 5
Family : MPEG-4
Codec settings : BVOP / Packed Bitstream
PlayTime : 2h 55mn
Bit rate : 1028 Kbps
Width : 512
Height : 384
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 29.97 fps
Resolution : 8
Chroma : 4:2:0
Interlacement : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.175
Writing library : DivX503b830p

well of course that codec is installed, it's pretty basic, so I guess the preview just doesn't work.I will now try to test the size without it anyway.

Look I'm not an idiot, of course I previously installed the latest version of AviSynth and besides I already said that I followed instructions from here-

btw, i can only hear sound in aviscrypt preview, the screen is blank.

OK, I tested it, conclusion:

FitCD doesn't work, AviScript works(nevermind the preview).

So in the future don't recommend FitCd ever again!

[mats.hogberg]

Of course FitCD doesn't work. It never has. That's why most of us use it for all our resizing needs. (When we're not in the mood for writing the AVS script by hand from scratch, that is).

FitCD works perfectly. It is the dumb twat behind the keyboard that can not use the software properly and instead of admitting he/she messed up, he/she blames good software.

Drop dead.

I gotta wonder if you're a troll.
Though the way you complain about "previews" makes me think you've just missed the whole concept of Avisynth.

If you want to back up your startling assertions, paste a copy of your non-working FitCD-generated file, and your working Aviscript-generated file.

[uniks]

don't be insulting!

[manono]

Ah, but you are. You're trashing tools that are used daily by countless thousands of people with no problems at all. Has it not yet occured to you that there might be user error involved here? You're biting the hands trying to feed you.

AVISource(C:\Path\To\Movie.avi",False)# False, to disable the audio
LanczosResize(xxx,yyy,a,b,ccc,ddd)#from FitCD
ConvertToYUY2()# For CCE

Modify for your paths, names, and the crop/resize. Then open it in VDub(Mod) to see if there's an error message. Scroll around to see if all looks OK. Post the scripts, as AlanHK advised. Give us any error messages that VDub shows, if you can't figure them out yourself.

To confirm a good install of AviSynth, first create an AVS named Version.avs. Inside put just one line:

Version()

Open that in VDub. If your AviSynth install is good, a small box will show up giving the version of AviSynth you installed.

I already have done all of that.
How many times do I have to point to this link, which I read very carefully?

https://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=1487285#1487285

I haven' done any mistake and I tried using FitCD with different settings, it always failed to do what it was supposed to do.
On the other hand aviscript worked at once(-preview), so I don't think there is user error involved here.
