AR conversion

[cd090580]

Hi,

I've a DVD Movie encoded in 16/9 (2.35:1) and I want to convert it to a svcd (4:3) but I'd like to change the ratio from 2.35:1 to 1.85:1 (by cropping the left and right from the source).

My dvd is PAL 720x576.

What functions do I need to use to make such a conversion ??

tmpgenc and use the "wrong" aspect ratio? or it has crop and resize as well.

I wanted to do the same thing and i accomplished it in dvd2svcd by editing the avisynthscript:

Crop(114,76,492,424)
BicubicResize(448,432,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(16,72,16,72)


this crops 76 of top and bottom to get rid of the extra black bars ,90 of each side to get to the 1.85 ratio and a further 24 off each side because it is overscaned on a dvd player and u don't see it (by doing this you get slightly better quality on the picture you do see).

If you don't want to cut off the extra 24 because you also watch on your computer or something use:

Crop(90,76,540,424)
BicubicResize(480,432,0.0,0.6)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)

This is explained on the dvd2svcd FAQ forum.
