Cropping = a REALLY messed up picture...Please help

[wholagan]

Hi! I use DVD2SVCD to do all my ripping and converting my DVDs to svcd. But the last movie i did turned out like crap! What I wanted to do was to crop 50 pixels on top and bottom and then crop 4 pixels left and right. Here is the copy of the avisynth:

LoadPlugin("D:\Programs\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\mpeg2dec .dll")
mpeg2source("D:\Programs\DVD2SVCD\Movie\DVD2AV~1.D 2V")
TemporalSmoother(2,1)
BicubicResize(480,360,0.0,0.6)
Crop(4,50,472,260)
AddBorders(0,110,0,110)

After the encoding was finished, the resulting mpgs were really messed up (it was just all squiggly distorted lines). Did I do the cropping correct?? Please help! thanks alot in advance!!!

crop before the resize. I know in DVD2AVI you can use the built in cropper to find out how many pixels from the top/bottom/left/right. then you use those values to crop the 720x480 image

something like:

crop(4,50,712,260)
bicubicresize(480,260)
addborders(0,110,0,110)

basicly grab just the video first, then scale it and then add borders
