Cropping using The divx codec 5 pro

[decryptit]

How can i crop a movie using the codec (is it possible)
(Removing the black bars)

[UncasMS]

like you would do it with any other codec too

still not read any basics?

[decryptit]

hey UncasMs

I've alread red the basics right ,and to tell you the truth i'm fed up of reading them.

If you insist that my question is described in these so called basics ,then tell me were i can find my answer.

I know that cropping can be made using gordian knot but still
i don't know to make cropping using divx.

If you think this is listed in the basics then show me where otherwise you will show that you are a simple irritating guy.

[UncasMS]

hey decryptit

noone cares for the internal cropping routine - we care for quality routines (ever heard of avisynth?)

read the divx.com pages if you're looking for that way of cropping or take a look into the codecs options (that's what i consider basics - obviously you didnt even look at the *general parameters* tab in the divx pro version)

[decryptit]

Obviously i heard about avisynth but i asked if i could do cropping using divx codec.If you still insist that this is EXPLAINED IN THE BASICS THEN SHOW ME WHERE.

An other thing But in my codec i have only 3 tabs
1> Post-Processing settings
2> Quality Settings
3> Help Page

If you don't care about cropping routines ,then others do and i can prove that for you,because some ppl have found that cropping is useful to get rid if black bars and get a fullscreen movie.I know that you can do it with various programs and even with gordian knot but my question was CAN YOU DO IT WITH THE DIVX CODEC Or XVID.

a good example for your initial posting: NO DETAILS at all on the divx version

[decryptit]

Divx pro 5

[UncasMS]

of course - but i was referring to divx5 pro as well

thus, you'll see we got to be talking about different versions *g*

[decryptit]

Divx pro 5.1.1

"thus, you'll see we got to be talking about different versions *g*"

Ok then but do you know if this setting exists in this version.

[hacker_on_fire]

You have to do it when you choose the codec in the encoder. For example in virtual dub you do it when in the compression tab by double clicking on DivX5.

What you are looking at is the decoder seetings (found it start-programs-divx-config.exe .....) not the encoding settings. You'll find this depending on the program you're using.

As a side note i recommend using the avisynth procedure as well.

What do you mean by that .Can't i set the settings without calling up a program.

[decryptit]

Yes but selecting SMART CROP ALL WILL IT AVOID ALL THE BLACK BARS.

[hacker_on_fire]

"What do you mean by that .Can't i set the settings without calling up a program."

Nope. I know no such way.

"Yes but selecting SMART CROP ALL WILL IT AVOID ALL THE BLACK BARS."

Yes but the system in not perfect, thus you need to look at the preview pane to adjust it slightly. However this is usually not needed.

btw, you are mixing two of your threads up.

[decryptit]

BecauSe you said you don't know how to set cropping using
divx codec. But don't worry i'm just experimenting that.

[hacker_on_fire]

Okay. It's not that i don't know its becuase its not possible (99% sure). It can only be accessed through your encoder like i explained a few posts before. In gordian Knot goto:

options tab->divx 1st/2nd pass-> video tab-> crop

[zx50]

What's this in gordian knot on the resolution tab, that has something about crop does'nt it? not that i ever use it though.

[hacker_on_fire]

Yeah it crops it, which is much better then the internal codec routine. You should use it, unless you know something better?

[zx50]

Thing is when you crop a video that has black bars built in, the only player that you can watch it in is the DivX player, and it does'nt really show that much detail, not like WMP9 or a few others. But DivX is the only player that you can change the aspect ratio.

[UncasMS]

But DivX is the only player that you can change the aspect ratio

no it's not

ever used the number keys in mpc?

[zx50]

Not being dim here but number keys????????

[UncasMS]

the number keys on the righ hand side of your keyboard

try 8, 6, 2 and 4

[decryptit]

Ok, but what will be the new settings because it asks for the custom height and width.What numbers shall i put in in order
to have my movie croped into a fullscreen.(using the codec)

Yeah i know he,he i was just about to say i found out. But you beat me to it.

[hacker_on_fire]

"Thing is when you crop a video that has black bars built in, the only player that you can watch it in is the DivX player"

What exactly do you mean zx50?

[decryptit]

He is not right i play it fine on power dvd but wmp crashes when tryin to open it.

[decryptit]

My precious version of gordian knot used to give a final msg
telling that the encoding process has finished.

Now my new upgraded version does not tell me that how will i know that my video is finished.

[decryptit]

How come my video is not playing on wmp.

I just meant that you can change the aspect ration with the DivX player, yet with others you can't. But yeah i have found others that you can do this with as well.

[decryptit]

for cropping.

[UncasMS]

there is an edit button btw

[decryptit]

to whom are you referring.

[UncasMS]

exactly YOU

i've come NUMEROUS posting from you, that were posted within some 60 minutes or so and in most cases, we read one (or half) a sentence PER POSTING

then another one in ANOTHER posting and sometimes even another addition half a minute later in ANOTHER posting

this is NOT the way posting should be done in a forum

should you not be able to concentrate on your thoughts for some 2 minutes, then maybe stay away from posting or use the edit button next or best: think before you hit the send button!

[decryptit]

i got that but its not always my fault cause some times i use pm
instead of posting on the forum much then i have made now.

[UncasMS]

use the pm, whenever you like, and use the edit button whenever neccessary

[decryptit]

np Just take that in consideration

[hacker_on_fire]

All your seperate posting make it hard to follow what you want to achieve.

What exactly do you want to do decryptit?
