Ok, I'm new here, but have pretty much figured out what I needed to do. I have an xvid avi that I need to convert to DVD format. I do this with WINAVI Video Converter. It only has two size ratios, and that is 4:3 and 16:9. The video in which I am converting has a size of 640x288 (2.22:1) [=20:9]. Whenever I convert it to 4:3 or 16:9, the size now becomes 720x480 (1.50:1) [=3:2] When I put the dvd on the analog tv, the image becomes very distorted and squished in. When I put the dvd in a widescreen tv, the image is perfect because the tv spreads out the image The movie on the analog tv looks like this: I want it to look like this: Could this just be because of the dvd player settings and/or tv settings? Thanks in advanced
Don't use WinAvi. You could resize in virtualdub first... A good encoder will give the correct aspect, no matter what TV it's played on.
