synth me...

hmm yeah. avi synth ok got it installed and trying and trying....and tried....

ok what i'd like you mavens to clue in me on is which filters to you use ?? do you use them??
(if you'd to to include any prefered settings for them even better..)


the order of the filters etc??

hmm yes wanting to use avi synth to help with xvid/svcd/ etc(you know the sort of stuff you find here..) to dvd.

anyway i'm pretty lame and i can't even script all i can do is edit a script that something like say the film machine gives...

so i do read refs to avi synthing on these forums. so how are you using it to aid in your xvid to dvd conversions whatever??

should i just stick with cropping/resizing(which is the main thing i thing a script from the film machine gives??) or try to take it further??

synth me...

If you dont know how to use them, use "noob" programs (DVD2SVCD for svcd and Gordianknot for xvid/divx).

They use avisynth on the background. Its not possible to explain how to use avisynth properly, but www.avisynth.org can get you on going with the "my first script" guide.

Yip, just use GordianKnot etc, then you can open up the script and see how it's written/compare it etc.

thanks..

hey thanks dw33p and frightfoO for your kind replies...

the filters the filters mostly what read f their use is when vhs,tv capture or someone is working with dv. not much aka almost nothing tieing in with hmm 'i have this xvid i downlaoded and want to put on dvd' *cough cough cough*

hmm anyway just yesterday.yes yesterday.i have theis xvid cam thing on my hard drive(name the movie get a $100.ha ha)

anyway i included these filters undot,deen and msharpen. hmm that was it.obviously maybe not the most inspired choices.and nothing will have the guru's eyes glowing with jealously.('and i'm jealous jealous,sick of jealously') but sure it worked and had the cam a better to my eyes....

so i guess i'll keep looking for trouble. and using avi synth like i'm on training wheels. ha ha...

Bitter, miserable twat.

Just going from memory, last time I used AviSynth to do XviD to DVD the script was something like this:

PHP:

avisource
("..yadayada-CD1.avi")+("..yadayada-CD2.avi")
lanczos4resize(720,whatever)
addborders(blah blah)

Where:
"yadayada" = the filename
"whatever" = vertical resolution needed to make a 16:9 anamorphic image
"blah blah" = black borders top and bottom to make up to 720x480.

You don't need any filters, unless maybe your XviD is from a telecine source.

Right, ok, a verry little tute then:

For dvd ripping, use DGindex (together with the dgdecode plugin -> google).

Loading a plugin

code:
LoadPlugin("X:\path\to\DGDecode.dll")


Allot of "basic" functions are build into avisynth. If you need to use functions that are inside dll files created for avisynth (like dgdecode.dll for example) you need to load them into your project before you can use them.

Load source material
code:
mpeg2source("x:\path\to\dgindex\project.d2v")


in 99% of the cases I use a dvd as my source. As you can see in the above post you can also load avi files. Remember, to use d2v projects as an mpeg source you have to load DGDecode.dll.

Editing the movie
When loaded your main movie you can start adjusting it. You can crop it, resize it, de-interlace it, tweak it, etc etc etc.

As mentioned before, allot of plugins are built-in, and you can find them at: http://www.avisynth.org/FiltersByCategory

For instance, Letterbox()

code:
Letterbox(48,48,0,0)

^^ will add a 48px width border on the top and the bottom.

The syntax of all scripts ar normally well explained in the documentation (be it the avisynth doc's or the author's docs).
