the resolution of the tenchi forver clips are the same as the tenchi muyo and universe. 640x480.... so um...I don't really understand what you mean. And if the resolution is not really the case where would I crop this...through Virtual Dub then type it again in the .avs file?

well :o the tenchi forever clips came off the dvd the same resolution as the rest, but the DVD is anamorphic, meaning it's really 16:9 widescreen but the picture is smashed up into a 720x480 frame, and the DVD player stretches it back out on playback (since the DVD standard dosent accept like, 853x480 frame sizes (16:9)). It's a way to get more resolution on the DVD than you would with letterboxing.
So what you can do to fix it is either sort of pan & scan or letterbox it yourself. That is, either stretch the frame back to 853x480 and crop off the edges so it's 640x480 or resize to 640x360 and add black bars to the top and bottom.

The anamorphic image unstretched:

the image with the right aspect ratio (letterboxed):

instead with the sides cropped:

you can do the letterbox thing in avisynth with the line

lanczosresize(640,360).addborders(0,60,0,60)

or the cropping thing with

lanczosresize(854,480).crop(106,0,-108,-0)

you could do it pretty easily in the master just by finding out the frame numbers where the tenchi forever scenes begin and end and then doing like

Code: Select all

cut1 = avisource("master.avi").trim(3520,3845).lanczosresize(640,360).addborders(0,60,0,60)
cut2 = avisource("master.avi").trim(3846,4122)
cut3 = avisource("master.avi").trim(4123,4900).lanczosresize(640,360).addborders(0,60,0,60)

return cut1 + cut2 + cut3
something like that

I have not seen many eps of tenchi so i cant really say i am a fan of the series. However, this video was actually pretty darn cool. The video was kinda rough in a few places and i suggest using A&E's guide. At some points i wasnt even sure if it was interlaced or not. Anyway video isnt everything and i really loved the timing in this video especially at the beggining, i can tell you took time with it. I say good job and keep the vids comming.

thanks guys! :D

Any codec you guys recommend? I keep hearing that using mpeg1 is craptastic. So I made an avi...but the file is like 900 megabytes. I was using virtual dub, cause reading the guide using avisynth was toooooo confusing for me. I also heard that divx was horrible.
