Question about a script for converting PAL to NTSC

[Talayero]

Hi,

I recently converted using CCE a pal short film because I wanted to add it as an extra to a ntsc dvd.

The conversion was OK but I'm wondering if I trimmed a bit of the image, because of a wrong avisynth script.

This is the script I used:

Loadplugin ("d:\dgdecode.dll")
mpeg2source ("short.d2v")
lanczosresize (720,480)
converttoyuy2 (interlaced=true)

I thought that with this script I would preserved the totality of the image but now I think a bit is missing, I'm not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Nothings been trimmed out in the script. It's all there. If it seems to be missing image from around the edges when watching on television, then it's your TV set's overscan doing it.

I don't know your CCE settings, but I suppose there's a chance you have it set up wrong and it's doing something. When you play the resulting MPV on the computer, is it all there?

Your script doesn't crop the image, it isn't the cause. Play it back on your PC to confirm this. Then look up Overscan in the glossary for the most likely cause.
