Problem converting NTSC to PAL

[Tonythesuperperson]

Hi, I'm a newbie to copying dvds and i'm trying to convert my NTSC DVD of Spirited Away to PAL.

I'm following this guide: http://www.geocities.com/xesdeeni2001/StandardsConversion/index.html (at the bottom of the page).

I've completed the steps but when I preview in TMPEnc I get this error:



My script looks like this:

LoadPlugin("MPEG2DEC.dll")
LoadPlugin("SmoothDeinterlacer.dll")
MPEG2Source("C:\sa2\spiritedaway.d2v")
SeparateFields()
Weave()
SmoothDeinterlace(doublerate=true)
ChangeFPS(50)
LanczosResize(720,576)
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,1,2)
Weave()
ConvertToRGB()

Please could you tell me what i'm doing wrong?

I believe LanczosResize is a fairly new internal filter and was only introduced in Avisynth version 2.5 as a variation to the BicubicResize filter. Check what version you are running (just add a line 'Version()' to your script and then run it - it will just report the version).

You can either get the latest version or use the older filter 'BicubicResize'.

I think (stress think) that you need to install the latest AviSynth version 2.5x and that should give you LanczosResize.

However after you do that you need to re-install AviSynth version 2.08 because the SmartSmoother.dll that Xesdeeni uses only works with version 2.08

P.S.
If not you can use BicubicResize but I think you have to do something like (720,576,0.5) or something like that ... I'm not 100% positive about that though!

I concur. Try and download the latest version of Avisynth.
