TMPGEnc authoring software question

#1 23 Aug 2010 @ 0:58
Well...I have a bluray rip mkv the spy next door. Now I use the authoring software, TMPGEnc to transcode this bluray rip to DVD vob...However, no matter how I tried(selecting PAL 16:9 or PAL 4:3 or NTSC 16:9 or NTSC 4:3), there was always two black bars to each side of the video. That's, the right and left sides of the video....So not sure if that's normal...If not, I would like to know if there is a way to fix this? With a 46in' or 40in' TV, will the video be displayed in full screen or there will be black bars to each side of the video?

Perhaps the software misinterpreted the MKV's aspect ratio.
Try encoding it with HCenc, check that the m2v looks good, and then
author with TMPGenc.

I installed TMPGEnc authoring software and it worked well for me. I don’t think it has anything to do with the size of your TV. It will work well with 46’in or 40’in monitor. May be something went wrong with the way you installed it. The installation manuals and the CDs are pretty user friendly. Try re-installing it. There are even sites that will help you to successfully install it and you can always find trial versions.

The other thing to try, take a known good commercial anamorphic DVD.
How does that fit the screen?
