    Is there a need to resize?

    Downloaded a divx movie(512X288@23.975) & want to convert to svcd.Since svcd is 480X480,Do I need to resize in virtualdub or virtualdubmod?

    First... This needed to be posted in the P2P forum since it was downloaded.

    Second. No TMPGEnc will do all the resizing by itself

      The reason I ask is because after I burn and play my svcd,the picture seems a bit long.

        You will need to resize/add boarders.
        Two ways.....The AVISynth method or VirtualDub method.

        First:
        PAL SVCD =25fps@480x576
        NTSC SVCD=23.975 or 29.97@480x480

        Assuming NTSC, you will need to resize to 480x270 and add 105 top and bottem. (105+105+270=480)

        This will keep the aspect and add the black bars.
        VirtualDub can do this with resize (adding borders) but your reencoding again when there's no need.

        Use AVISynth.
        Using the following simple script will do the trick.

        AVISource("c:\temp\my_movie.avi")
        LanczosResize(480,270)
        AddBorders(0,105,0,105)
        ConvertToRGB24

        Paste the above in notepad and save it with a *.avs extension.
        Now, open in TMPGEnc and encode as normal. (The sound will have to be done separately)

        If the AVISynth method seems tricky, stick with VirtualDub.

        Good luck.

          You may find it easier/simpler to try the following in TMPGEnc:

          Click the "Video" tab and change applicable settings to: 480X480 (PAL 480x476), 4:3 (NTSC or PAL as appropriate) 525 Line. Click the "Advanced" tab and change applicable settings to: "16:9 Display", either "Fullscreen (Keep Aspect Ratio)" or "Center (Keep aspect ratio)", and 480x480 (PAL 480x576).

          Let us know of your success ;>
