AVStoDVD : black border automatically added

[mathmax]

Hi

when encoding my avi with AVStoDVD, it adds black borders to the left and to the right. I guess it's because some TVs hide these parts of the screen... but I think these borders are too large. Is it possible to reduce them?



Another question: is it possible to stream copy the audio? I have an AC3 source and I would like to avoid reencoding it..

thanks

Of course Go to 'Edit Title'/'AviSynth', toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script' and play with 'Vertical Resize'.

Another question: is it possible to stream copy the audio? I have an AC3 source and I would like to avoid reencoding it..

If the AC3 source is DVD compliant, it is already reteined. Check if 'Edit Title'/'Audio'/'Keep DVD compliant Audio' is toggled on.

Can I remove completely the avisynth script? Cause audiodub() will reencode my audio..

Also, is it possible to shift the audio cause it doesn't start at the same time as the video.

As I told you before, if in 'Edit Title'/'Audio', the option 'Keep DVD compliant audio' is on, then audio will be retained. In that case, video will be encoded thru AviSynth frameserving, audio will be demuxed by FFmpeg.

Also, is it possible to shift the audio cause it doesn't start at the same time as the video.

Yes, it is. Same location as before: 'Edit Title'/'AviSynth'/'Delay Audio'.

If I edit the avisynth script, then I can't check the option "delay the audio"
Strange that this option is in the "avisynth" tab, since avisynth will not be used to process the audio as I checked 'Keep DVD compliant audio' to direct stream copy the AC3

on me....

Of course if audio is retained, 'Delay Audio' will not work. You have to re-encode audio to apply the delay. Or, alternatively, you can edit the BatchMux command parameters ('Advanced Project Settings'/'Edit encoder commmand params at runtime' and, just before authoring step, add:

-a1delay xxx

where xxx is the delay in ms (min -300, max +300)

I would like to delay it of -2903ms.. I'm under minimum value

Any alternative solution? For example? Is there a software cut .ac3 without reencoding?

delaycut

Thank you
I also thought of using dgindex to extract again the audio.. but dgindex is not accurate to cut a video. Could you advise me a demuxer that allows to cut at an exact frame?

[poisondeathray]

frame accurate cut for mpeg2 video = videoredo
