Lanczos Resizing Query (Uncas?)

[Enchanter]

This is basically a follow-up on the discussion that Uncas and I had in one of the recent threads regarding the Lanczos resizer. I'm trying out the said plug-in and have got one question that I thought Uncas, or anyone else who has tried out the plug-in, can answer.

The documentation stated a basic format as follows:
LanczosResize(clip, int target_width, int target_height)

The "int target_width" and "int target_height" are easy enough to figure out. I have not much clue on the "clip" part though. What is the applicable range of value? And what should I use, assuming I'm going for maximum quality and, in another case, 'alright' quality?

I tried the following line and it, funnily, works:
LanczosResize(640, 352)
In this case, do you what value of c is being used?

I have just started playing around with the resizer and will see what I can find later on. Cheers.

The Clip argument is for processing multiple source clips. But it can be omitted if you don't need it.

example

 
a = AVISource("d:\clip1.avi")
b = AVISource("d:\clip2.avi")
LanczosResize(a,640, 352)
LanczosResize(b,640, 352)
return AlignedSplice(a,b)

So the c value has nothing to do with the scale of sharpness processing setting then? Excellent. Thanks, khp.

No not at all, the Lanczos filter has no such options.
Almost all avisynth filters support a clip argument in the same fashion.

sorry, a little late here for me to answer

all said and done


did you do a first testrun?
how did you like the quality?

did you even try the combo: lanczos AND convolution?

As I previously put, I haven't done any extensive testing with the plug-in (I recently deleted all of the VOBs that I had, and am waiting for another DVD to rip). The only testing that I did was on a low-quality source, and there really is nothing to complain about the resize quality anyway. I will definitely give this resizer a go with the next DVD I'm working on.
