Gordian Knot - DVD to 2CD XViD AC3 .avi

[blas]

hey

iam ripping my dvd collection to 2cd xvid ac3 avi-s nowdays. I made few xvids in the last few days, and this is my impression:

- picture is quite good, on TV it looks pretty good.
BUT: how could i make more sharper picture, its sharp but i think a bit
blurred.

iam ripping with dvddecrypter, then dvd2avi field oper none demux to ac3
then open d2v bla bla.

at save$encode i select netural biolinic or what and field operation none
please help. its GKnot.
thanks in advance

Use a nice sharp resize like lanczos4resize() and use a high quality matrix.

hi thanks for the reply celtic_druid,

now iam using filter resize with precise bicubic (A=.0.75), its written down in the afterdawn guide. i can see in resize filter's config filtermode: lanczos3

that would be good too? if not how can i have lanczos4 ?
anyway iam looking at the rite place?

where can i set that high quality matrix? is that in the first pass advanced options:
Quantization type? now its: MPEG

You need to set it to MPEG custom and then load one.

i'll try, thanks

and what about the lanczos4 thing

[celtic_druid]

It is just a different AVISynth resize filter.

[blas]

thanks everything celtic_druid !

lanczos4resize, i already figured that out with avisynth.
now encoding i hope it will be nice
