Making the video 544x576 is non-standard and asking for trouble because while it may play on that one DVD player you have what about other DVD players? What happens when that DVD player bites the dust? Since the extra 'padding' is going to be fresh jet black video might as well do it because it will not eat up your bitrate and you will have a standard compliant PAL DVD Video in the end that will work on any PAL capable DVD player.I created a quick 'n dirty YouTube tutorial which shows how you can render your finished Vegas project through an AVISynth script. My method makes a video that is 720x576 which is the PAL DVD Video standard. When I started this there were no other posts yet. Just be sure to encode as PAL DVD Video 16x9 anamorphic widescreen. You can just replace LanczosResize with Lanczos4Resize and not have to change anything else. Thanks.ĪddBorders(96,0,96,0) Personally I would go with ITU resizing.Īlso please note that these figures assume your 464x352 source is progressive 1:1 square pixel ratio which is usually the case with downloaed MPEG-4 DivX and MPEG-4 XviD video files. My DVD player has no dramas playing 544x576 video on DVD with a 16:9 display flag, so it works perfectly, I've tested it. The reason is that I want the 4:3 ratio end video for display on a 16:9 screen which doesn't have a black background display option, so I'm including the black background on the disc instead so I'm not distracted by the light grey background of the screen in 4:3 display mode. What are the pros and cons of using Spline36Resize?Ģ) When I've decided which resizer algorithm to use in 1) above, what would be the correct scripting to resize an input video of 464x352 to an output size of 408x576 letterboxed within a black frame measuring 544x576? There is a good description written about Lanczos4Resize but nothing for Spline36Resize. I was thinking Lanczos4Resize but then I found this new one called Spline36Resize. I want to resize some files I'm converting to DVD and would like to do it completely within AviSynth if I can rather than through VDub which I usually use for resizing.ġ) What is the best quality resizer to use in AviSynth with nothing but quality in mind and that I like a sharp picture rather than a smooth one. I have a few saved scripts which I can edit to do various common tasks I need occasionally, but that's as far as I go usually. I don't understand the logic of AviSynth scripting.
