Avisynth and CCE Resize question

[Waylander076]

All

How come when I insert a resize line into an Avisynth script
and then pass the .AVS to CCE, CEE does not resize the output?

For example if the line is
BicubicResize(480,576)
for SVCD, CCE will ignore it and output a frame size of 720x576?

Any help with this would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi Waylander,

In the "Video" options of CCE there is an option called "make DVD compliant" or something like that (sorry, I'm currently at work, so I can't look up the exact phrase right now). It has to be unchecked, otherwise CCE will always produce a resolution of 720 x 576 no matter what size the source movie is.

Hope it helps

Thanks for that but the 'DVD Compliant' option *IS*
unchecked...maybe if I check it and see...

Thanks

I never tick the DVD compliant box. How are you creating your Avisynth script?

I use Gordian Knot on the .d2v project file to create an SVCD script, and this works every time. This is the last one I used successfully (comments removed).

LoadPlugin("D:\VIDEO\GORDIA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec.dl l")
mpeg2source("H:\Coming2A\cta_16-9.d2v")
crop(11,7,701,562)
BicubicResize(480,433,0,0.5)
AddBorders(0,72,0,71)

The most obvious difference is the 4 numbers passed to bicubic resize.

If you are frameserving to CCE, then it is not that program that is ignoring your resize, but it is that you are probably resizing something that you are not outputting. Without your entire script, there is no way to tell you exactly where your problem is. Load up your .AVS file in VirtualDub and check the file properties - you'll probably find that it is 720x576.

BTW, leave "DVD Complient" unchecked for SVCD.

If you checked the AVS and it is not 720x576 then, goto open the *.ECL file that was created for CCE with notepad. What resolution is in there?

[Waylander076]

Thanks for the feedback folks...the .ECL file does show a width and height
of 480x576 and Nero accepts the mpg stream as 480x576.
Media Player displays it as 720x576 though.

One of my AVS scripts is below and you'll notice I never cropped the
frame before the resize,in fact there is no cropping at all.
Time to try that then.
It's not really a problem as my standalone plays the SVCDs created,
I was just curious...

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\Mpeg2dec\mpeg2dec.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program files\dvd2svcd\avsmon.dll")
video=mpeg2source("C:\DVD Rips\Attack of the clones\clones.d2v")
LoadPlugin("C:\VirtualDub\plugins\textsub.vdf")
audio=wavsource("C:\Temp\dummy.wav")
audiodub(audio,video)
BicubicResize(480,576)
TextSub("C:\DVD Rips\Clones\Clones.ssa")
Monitorfilter

Don't you think that passing 2 parameters to BicubicResize rather than 4 might just be significant?
