My method i'm currently using seems drawn out and I'm wondering if there is a shorter way to do this:
I have a haupagge 250 tv video card, so it only records to mpeg. I take the mpeg and run it through dvdtoavi and extract the audio. Then I take the .mpa file and run it through winamp to get a .wav file.
From here I stick that into avs with this code:
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD-Ripping\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD-Ripping\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb521.dll")
MPEG2Source("E:\Recorded Video\mythbusters-busterspecial.d2v", idct=5)
Telecide(order=1, guide=1, post=4)
Decimate(quality=3)
and finially into virtual dub where I use ffdshow divx3 at 1000. Should I be using a different codec?
Is there a way to simplify this process and is there other options I could use for cleaning up tv video?
My other question for the day is How can I get cropping to work in virtual dub correctly?
I have my source video looking like this:
Then I resize it with the resize filter to 640x480 and then use the null transform filter to crop out the black bars which gives me this:
This looks all nice and pretty until I go to the final video which looks like this:
Which is clearly not what I wanted. What's happening?
