Problems With Unusual Res

[Cloud_2002]

I have a 1000 - 540 original animation that i need to write to dvd.
I have full control of what to render too but cant find an encoder that will deal with the size. TeMpeg (Mpeg2) wont touch it, CCE wont either. I know i can drop the res down to fit but really need the high res if possible.

That and whats the best app for 16:9 authoring, i have found some software doesnt haveit as an option.

Please if anyone has any ideas plaese let me know.

Have U seen DVDit Pro 2.5.4 the new update. 16:9 build in. AC3 encoding. AVI to mp2 file. Menu and chapter point.

Another 1 is Ulead DVD WorkShop 1.2. 16:9 build in. No AC3 encoding. AVI to mp2. Motion & button menu chapter point.

Sounds like you'll need to use Avisynth or something similar to rescale your animation to a resolution which is DVD compliant.

I have used Avisynth to re-scale SVCD to DVD for maximum compatibility with DVD Players and your script will probably end up looking something like :-

DirectShowSource("Enterprise - 1x02 - Broken Bow, Part 2.avi",25)
BicubicResize(720,576)


Ok the above script is just an example (but was used to rescale a DivX avi file) to demonstrate that you don't need to be an expert coder to write a script to rescale an avi or m2v stream.

Once you have avisynth installed and have written a script you should be able to check your script by loading it into Windows Media Player and watching it.

This script can then be re-encoded by CCE (2.50, later version or 2.64 or 2.66) to create a mpv file which will be compatible with your authoring software.

I'm not an expert on Avisynth but after looking here I was able to produce a suitable script.

You might need to experiment a bit but I'm sure you'll find what you need.
