Adding black borders with StaxRip

[denadel]

Hi!

I have been using virtualdubmod for a while. I used it to change the video format to avi, and adding subtitles using aegisub.
I also used a filter called resize, which allows me to expand the frame/letterbox image (adding "black borders").

Recently I have been using StaxRip instead, as I find it is much easier and better to use.
But i dont know how to add these black borders. Is it possible doing that using StaxRip?

I want to change a video from looking like this:


To this:

It should be possible if you adjust the avisynth resize script. Double click on resize under filters and try add

AddBorders(0, 86, 0, 86, $000000)

86 is how many pixels and 000000 is the color(black).

Worked like a charm!
Thank you so much for helping out

I am looking to do something similar. I would like to add borders but overlay them as a matte. I capture in h.264 format and some of the captures are open matte. Meaning the aspect ratio was changed from the original 2:35.1 to 1:78.1 by opening the matte as opposed to cropping. I would like to return these captures back to 2:35.1 by adding the matte back.

Then you want the Letterbox command. Something like:

Letterbox(20,20)

covers the top and bottom 20 rows of video pixels with black:
