Cropping With DVD2AVI And/Or TMPGEnc

[JoNty]

Could someone please tell me how to crop video with either DVD2AVI and/or TMPGEnc?

Thanks in advance.

IN DVD2SVCD:

In DVD2SVCD you need to insert the CROP instructions just before the encoding begins.
To do this, select the 'Frameserver' tab and select the 'Edit as part of the Video encoding' option.
Now just do your DVD rip as you normally do, but you'll find that the process will pause just before it starts the encoding process and display the contents of the AviSynth_Script_file.avs file (the frameserving script).
At this point insert your CROP specifications in the script just before the 'RESIZE' instruction, so your script will look something like this..

ConvertToYUY2()
AssumeFPS(29.970,True)
Crop(0,0,352,470)
BicubicResize(480,480,0.0,0.6)

and then press OK to continue with the encoding.
(The crop settings are 'CROP(left, top, width, height)')


IN TMPGENC:

Select the 'Settings' option then the 'Advanced' tab, tick the 'Clip Frame' box and double click on the name 'Clip Frame' to bring up the clip settings.
Set the values for top, bottom,left, right and then select the 'Arrange Method' and make sure this is set to 'Full Screen'.
