What is the best script for my DVD conversion.

[sneaux]

I downloaded "A Scanner Darkly" and want put it on a DVD. i can't just run it through TMPG. That would be too easy. I want it to be the best conversion possible and avisynth is allowing me to reach new levels of obsessive compulsiveness.

I want to normalize each audio channel.
I heard some operations work better when you apply them to the individual fields. I want to separate fields, and change resolution and frame rate. Then you need to put the fields back together somehow... Then I think you need to change colorspace to RGB24 for TMPG right.

You seriously want the best looking video you can on DVD ?

Read the forum rules, stop downloading crushed Xvid versions of movies, and buy the DVD.

As for most what you have posted - it simply doesn't apply to the file you have. It isn't interlaced, so you don't have fields to worry about. If you need to normalise the audio then the audio is crap to begin with.

You biggest problems are blocky artifacts, whether you can see them or not. Once you scale this up for DVD it will be very obvious what a poor quality source you have.

It is no longer worth wasting time on this type of conversion. However if you are too cheap to buy the DVD, I guess you are too cheap to buy a Divx capable player so you don't have to convert.

Buy it on DVD. Read the rules.
