help plzzz!! problem with encoding.. understand, resolution, settings, problem

andy

its like that i have cce ver 2.7 and i want to encode a home made video..is resolution is
608*256
and i want to make this movie an ntsc..i understand(im not sure) that ntsc resolution sould be 720*480
and pal 720*576..

when i double click the movie file after i add it to the cce window : in the {frame resize} i dont know what to write down..because i checked in the {video settings} Mpeg2 and {for DVD} after i check this the cce doesnt let me to change the resolution my self in the {frame resize}..it determines by it self resolution of 720*576 in case that i will chouse resize..
the point is i dont know what resolution to write because it makes me a 720*576 and i need a 16:9 movie

*************
what resolution do i need to write in the resize? and what {aspect ratio} i need to check? in order to have a {16:9 =gt;ntsc}
plzzzzz respond
tnx

Hi-

Based on what you've said so far, this'll go over your head, but... Use FitCD to give yourself an AviSynth script to feed into CCE. That way the necessary cropping, resizing, and colorspace conversions will have already been done. For your 608x256 AVI to be encoded for 16:9, I'd suggest:

AVISource(quot;C:\Path\To\Movie.aviquot;)
LanczosResize(720,368)
AddBorders(0,56,0,56)
ConvertToYUY2()

Assuming it's at 23.976fps, either run Pulldown within CCE, or afterwards using Pulldown.exe or DGPulldown. All you have to do is to set up CCE for progressive 16:9 encoding and give it a bitrate. Reading the manual might help. Reading a guide might also help:

mpg/avi2dvdr.htm

but i dont know exactly how to use or write with avisynth
if you can give a short guidance it will be very helpfull.my avi has 25FPS..

(but thank you vey much for the script..i've tried to understand how to write this script a lot of times before but it didnt went well..)

do i need to write something in this line? int the brackets?
ConvertToYUY2()

ConvertToYUY2(in here?)

if i will open the avi with this script for the cce i will need to mark 16:9 in the aspect ratio ? inside the cce? although
the script alone will make from the movie 16:9? (it is..right?..)

thank you very much for your help..

if am writing an avisynth script with notepad how do i save the doc in a way that the windows will know it has an avisynth script?..

Oh, it's PAL? Then the script is:

AVISource(quot;C:\Path\To\Movie.aviquot;)
LanczosResize(720,442)
AddBorders(0,67,0,67)
ConvertToYUY2()

if you can give a short guidance it will be very helpfull.

No. Read everything at i need to write something in this line? int the brackets?

ConvertToYUY2()

ConvertToYUY2(in here?)

No.

if i will open the avi with this script for the cce i will need to mark 16:9 in the aspect ratio ? inside the cce?

Yes, you have to set CCE for 16:9 encoding.

if am writing an avisynth script with notepad how do i save the doc in a way that the windows will know it has an avisynth script?..

Set it up as a .txt file with the script inside. Then rename .txt as .avs. By the way, before opening the script in CCE, test it out first in VDubMod. That way, if there are any errors, VDubMod will give you an error message.

whats vdubmod??..

Hi-

VDubMod=Virtual Dub Mod. Or you can use VDub or VDub MPEG-2. Or you can play the .avs in some players and they will also give error messages if something's wrong with the script, so you can pinpoint the problem line. The problem is that CCE either just rejects the script with no message, or gives a cryptic and useless error message.

the script with the media player after i wrote the script and saved it like you said..

the media player gave me the following error:

ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format
(E:\resize.avs,line 1)

**********
(i called the script file resize.avs)i hope your not taired of helping me! lol..

the resizing??
if i have 608*256
how did you came to 720*368??

ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format
(E:\resize.avs,line 1)

in the media player?

He gave you the actual 'video' picture size, based on the AR of the original resolution you gave him, and assuming it was to be an NTSC output.

For PAL, personally I would've suggested:

LanczosResize(720,432)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)

... However, you said in your first post that you wanted it to be NTSC, in which case the 720,368 resolution was correct.

i want ntsc but im still having trouble to determine the resolution..or how to do it any way...
can you write for me a post that will explain exactly how yo do everything..

what to write in the script if i want ntsc 16:9
and my movie has a resolution of 608*256
and 25Fps..

and then what to fill up exactly in cce..
i will appriciate it very much...
thank you again and again and again.

skype messenger or icq??manono or desta ..
i think it will be easier that way..

- AVI to DVD MPEG (CCE or TMPGenc encoders)

Videohelp.com - Determining Aspect Ratios and Resolutions

do you manono and desta  calculate the
LanczosResize?LanczosResize(720,432)
AddBorders(0,72,0,72)

thank you desta but i know this sites and im having trouble understanding the guides..

That would be the size if your output was to be PAL.... as has already been said a few times now.

It's a very clear guide.

Good luck

Did

my only problem is the resizing nothing else..i can andle with everything else

thanks the script you gave me for ntsc is working!(thank godd!! i've had headaches over this...atlast..)

thank youu..
now i need to now exactly what to check in the cce..
you already told me to check 16:9..

mpeg2 is checked along with quot;for DVDquot; and quot;1 pass CBRquot; in the quot;video settingquot; area.

im leaving the quot;frame ratequot; at 25fps like you said.

at the quot;timecode settingquot; im changing it from

0 =gt; 01 00 00 00     to
0=gt; 00 00 00 00
is that ok?

at the quot;frame sizequot; i need to check the quot;resizequot; option?.

two last things:
at the pulldown section the box quot;2:3quot; is marked..sould i change it? leave it this way?

and the quot;preprocessquot; section..nothing is marked there..i need to check something or leave it ?..

thank you for your help i hope i havent been to much of a headache.

etain.
