In the style sheet, the indented-line "height" attribute doesn't work with IE; I believe it needs to be replaced with "line-height".

Now I don't have the web design skills of Jay or Zion, but I think a tiny splash of colour improves the look of the page. With this in mind, and taking account the IE bug above, I'd suggest the following replacements:

DIV.indented-line {
BORDER-TOP: #8d0000 1px solid; LINE-HEIGHT: 0px;
}

and

H1.title-small {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 11px; MARGIN: 20px 10px 5px 0px; COLOR: #8d0000; BORDER-BOTTOM: #8d0000 1px solid
}

FAQ

Add a "show completed projects only" filter checkbox to the fan project list view.

In the specs entry, display the values in the dropdown lists in ascending order (particularly for running time/bitrates).

I might add a kickout menu to the top nav under "Fan Project List" and break all the categories out onto their own pages.

Great idea.

Of course, the problem with having a wiki-based system is that anyone can add in spoof projects. Luckily, it's much quicker to remove stuff than it is to add it.

"Subtitle" is an internal filter built in to AviSynth, so it's really odd that you're be getting that message.

All I can suggest is to check the spelling, and if that doesn't work try reinstalling AviSynth.

The main difference is that it's wiki-based, so any registered user can edit the contents of the database.

What software are you using for video editing?

First you need to crop any existing black bars. Then scale the rest of the image vertically to about 79% of its original size. Finally add in new larger black bars to make the image back up to DVD resolution.

Did you demux first to extact the raw h264 stream? (As I mentioned I found xport was useful for this, as it retained audio sync).

Before resorting to DirectShowSource(), I'd give the new DGAVCIndex/AVCSource() a try.

If that's all you want to do, then as pittrek says, the process is not difficult.

Here's what I'd do:
1. Use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode to demux video (M2V) and audio (AC3) files.
2. Open M2V into DGIndex and save as D2V project.
3. Write AVISynth script in notepad to convert video into 16:9 and add in subtitles where needed.
4. Open AVS file in CCE and encode new video.
5. Author new DVD using new video file and the AC3 file from step 1.

So are you having a problem with step 4? Did you preview the AVS file in VirtualDub or a media player to make sure it was correct? What settings did you use in CCE?

Remember that when you write the project summary and description, try to keep the text neutral, objective and purely fact-based - avoid using "I" or "we".

Personal opinions should be limited to contributor blogs or user comments, both coming in the future.

Ignore the stuff about the PAL -> NTSC conversion; the main point is that if you can get the video into VirtualDub via AVISynth, then you can save it out as a sequence of TGA files for editing.

Is it h.264 (from UK or German broadcast) or MPEG-2 (US)?

A process for H.264 was discussed here:

Have you tried loading the MKV into VirtualDubMod? If the video is encoded with x264, you will need to install a vfw-compatible decompressor, the only one I know of is part of ffdshow.

From VDub, you can save as uncompressed AVI (or maybe TGA sequence?)

I just added a new contributor with no problems. However, I did experience this issue a couple of days ago (at the time put it down to my internet connection playing up).

One thing I've noticed is that the links to access a particular project's details page are titled incorrectly. (Link titles appear as tooltips when you hover your pointer over the text. The tooltips say "view all projects in the * category" when they should say something like "view details for this project").

I think the original poster wanted the crappy cropped 4:3 video, to get the full bootleg viewing experience.

I uploaded AC3 files of the mono mix synched to PAL and NTSC GOUT back in January (LINK). A restored version of the mono mix is in the pipeline.

Think I may have been a bit hasty. I could not reach his ebay store earlier today, but deleted the link because I assumed he was selling bootlegs. However, it seems that this is in fact his own footage that he filmed himself. I know this goes against the "by the fans for the fans" mantra, but perfectfuture has every right to sell it commercially.
Sorry.

I know you didn't mean any harm, don't worry. It just makes more sense to have a blanket ban on all links to auctions/selling sites, whether it's an innocent "heads up" or a sly promotion by the seller.

(The site in question was mentioned on page 15 of this thread, BTW.)

Yes, you will lose some of the subtitles off the bottom of the screen. This is because the GOUT DVD was authored by clueless monkeys. (Some TVs have a "subtitle zoom" mode that shifts the image up on the screen.)

Zooming won't cause pixellation per se - although as Zion says it does depend on the scaler inside your display. However, because the scaler has to do more work to display a 4:3 letterboxed source, the image quality will not be as good as a 16:9 anamorphic disc.

You don't need ReBuilder to accomplish this, it just automates some of the tasks and makes life easier.

You can easily make a barebones disc, using only:
DVD Decrypter
PGC Demux
AVISynth + DGMPGDec
CCE
Muxman

After that, it's not much extra work to modify the GOUT disc using VobBlanker to swap out the original video with the video from your new anamorphic disc; the existing menu structure of the GOUT disc is kept intact.

It starts to get a bit more complicated if you want to remove things like the lego preview and THX optimizer.

If you would like a second opinion, upload a sample of VOB somewhere and I'd be happy to have a look; PM me a link.
