How to nicely resize videos on playblack
OK, so basically you’re a rich faggot like RHE who has a monitor that has like >= 1080 lines of vertical resolution or something. You open up a 480p animu in MPC HC, full screen it, and find that it looks like shit, and the edges of the subtitles look like they’ve been chewed by your dog, spat out, then chewed again.
The first option is to use a renderer in MPC HC that has a good resizer, like madVR or Haali’s Renderer. That’s all great, but subtitles are rendered onto the video before it reaches the renderer, so while the video is OK, the subtitles still look crap.
A solution here is to use MPC HC’s internal subtitle renderer, which renders the subs straight onto the screen (after the video passes the renderer), but if your monitor isn’t exactly the same aspect ratio as the video that you’re watching, soft-subbed typesetting will be in the wrong place (loltypesetting).
So if you haven’t figured by now, we need to resize the video to what we want before the subtitles are rendered onto it. The solution is to use ffdshow’s AviSynth filter.
Once you have a video open, double click that little red “FFv” icon in your system tray. In the list of stuff on the left, tick and select “AviSynth”, then fill it out as per this screenshot (don’t worry, you’ll get the text to copy and paste in a moment).
The text is:
mon_width = 1280.
mon_height = 800.
##############
tar_width = mon_width
tar_height = 1.0*mon_width/width*height
(tar_height > mon_height) ? Eval("""
tar_height = mon_height
tar_width = 1.0*mon_height/height*width
""") : last
spline36resize(int(tar_width)/2*2, int(tar_height)/2*2)
Please change the first 2 lines to reflect your monitor’s horizontal and vertical resolution respectively. It is important to leave the full stop (.) at the end of the line. Now click OK on that dialog box. You’re done. Return to your video, full screen it, and enjoy the properly resized video and crisp subtitles.
But wait! I don’t use ffdshow, I use CoreAVC!
Not a problem. Go to your MPC HC options and do this:
Then select it in the list and click the “Prefer” radio button.
Restart MPC HC and play a video and you will now get the red “FFv” icon in your system tray. Now follow the instructions from the top of this post.

Posted by fake admin under Red Army Parades | Permalink | 2 Comments »Updates on Next Season (and other stuff)
First off, the old crap:
Shin Koihime Musou – Finished (and accepted onto BakaBT)
White Album – Waiting for the guy to do episode 14
Natsu no Arashi – We’ll do episodes 11 and 12 before the release of Duke Nukem Fo- umm… I meant SFW’s episode 4.
Letter Bee – Apparantly there’s going to be like o9k episodes of this crap, but don’t think we’ll be dropping.
Book of Bantorra – Goes for another season. Not dropping.
Weiss Survive R – Raws. Whatever. It took no effort after I got the initial IVTC sorted out. Not dropping.
Asura Cryin’ – Just working out a translation for the ED of the last episode. Then a few v2’s to correct episodes 16-whatever to use OP3/ED3 instead of OP2/ED2 (Wow, they added a fabulous splash of colour!). Also some karaoke OP/EDs that we forgot about.
Shit I’m doing with other groups:
Sora no Otoshimono – Encoded and it’s in Nekomimi’s part of the pipes
11eyes – Apparantly there’s some audio problem and I’m not bothering to check it until everything else is done.
And FINALLY… … … NEXT SEASON!!! CR has announced some stuff, and this post will be updated to reflect it.
Cobra The Animation – OK, this is confusing as crap and I wakaranai what’s going on. I *THINK* this is what’s happening. It has 3 distinct parts.
Psychogun – Airied last year some time. No .ts on Perfect Dark, but there seems to be subs and raws of it on TT. Not bothering to do it.
Time Drive – Subs and raws on TT. Aired October 2009. .ts could be located on PD and are currently downloading. MIGHT encode it.
“” (No “stuff” after the name) – 13 episodes airing this winter season. Will do first episode then decide whether to drop.
Durarararararararara/lalalalalalalalalala – No idea what it is, but seems to be quite popular, so as usual, will do first episode then decide whether to drop or not.
Chu-bra – No idea either. Doing the usual checking first episode thing, but the capper “noted my terrible taste for doing it”, so I’m guessing this will turn out pretty bad (leading to drop).
