Resizing XVid Movie to DVD

[MrE_H]

Hi guys,

I have an XVid movie and want to convert this to a DVD - I have an application called FitCD which will create an avs script as CCE won't resize without it. The script looks like this:

# -= AviSynth v2.5.5.0 script by FitCD v1.2.8 =-
AVISource("c:\test\test.avi")
BicubicResize(720,336,0,0.6,1,0,638,272)
AddBorders(0,120,0,120)
#Trim(0,150742).FadeOut(150)
ConvertToYUY2() # For VirtualDub or CCE

My couple of questions are:

• In CCE do I say this is 4:3 or 16:9 (Do I remove the borders line and make it 16:9 or leave them and make it 4:3, or something else?)
• Do I want to click the anamorphic check box - not sure if this will make the movie look odd?
• Is using an avs script the correct way to resize a movie or is there a better way.

Any advice would be appreciated.

• In CCE do I say this is 4:3 or 16:9 (Do I remove the borders line and make it 16:9 or leave them and make it 4:3, or something else?)

- What is the aspect ratio for the original source, select that in CCE also.
- If you still want to do encode it in 16:9 (which is beneficial only if you have a widescreen TV, or plan to buy it soon), select anamorphic in FitCD destination , use that script(no need to change anything in source since fitCd detects it) and also in CCE then, most changes will be done by the avisynth, CCE only puts a flag of 16:9.

• Do I want to click the anamorphic check box - not sure if this will make the movie look odd?

I think I answered that above

• Is using an avs script the correct way to resize a movie or is there a better way.

avisynth usually does a good job, provided you choose ur filter appropriately

Thanks for the quick reply,

The movie has an aspect ratio of 2.3529 - how do I select that in CCE?

I don't have a widescreen tv so I think 4:3 is option for me.

Thanks
