avisynth and cce

[Heavensent]

i know it asking too much...
but could someone please write a avisyth script for something i need?
i just cant get the hang of it no metter what guides i look at.

i have a avi file that is 16:9, 25 fps.
i want to convert it to svcd using avisynth (i have done it many times using virtualdub).
i need it to resize the avi to 480x576 and crop the black bars at the top
and bottom of the movie.
i need it to sharpen the avi (a bit)
i can play with the cropping and sharpenning values so dont be bothered by that, i will change the values so it will fit my needs.

please help me out !!!

Just to clarify - are you saying that the AVI already contains the black borders top & bottom and the viewable video is 16:9 (widescreen).
And you want to convert it to non-widescreen 4:3 (meaning that you will need to crop the top/bottom borders and crop the sides off the video to keep the correct ratio)?.

Or do you want to keep the SVCD in widescreen ? (which means you will need to keep the black bars).

ok, i didnt explain it well..

it originaly had a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the movie was encoded
WITH the black bars, they are a part of the movie and not just added by the player.
dont ask me why...
what i want to do is - crop the black bars (so i will not waste the bitrate on them), and have the player add the black bars when i play it.

Try using FitCD or AVS generator. You should easily be able to figure them out. Look under the TOOLS area here, or they are also available at doom9.org in their d/l section.

I understand but I'm not sure you can do that with SVCD, however here are examples of the commands you need.

AVIsource("video.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
Crop(0, 100, 700, 300)
sharpen(0.5)
BicubicResize(480,576,0.0,0.6)

The crop part explained:
cut none from left and take the next 700 pixels as the width,
cut 100 off the top and take the next 300 pixels as the height.

Sharpen has a range of 0 - 1.

Of course you need to plug in your own values.
