I made a movie with sony vegas and it is saved as a widescreen movie. It's saved as 608x336 pixels at the moment. I wanted to burn it as a widescreen dvd, but it stretched the image vertically. I used this guide: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_avi_to_dvd.cfm I have a pretty simple question. How do I go about burning my avi in a widescreen format? Thanks.
Try use VSO DivxToDVD (free version) to convert the avi to dvd compliant format (force output to 16:9), then burn with e.g. Nero: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/vso_divxtodvd_free.cfm Good luck!
Oh. I thought it was that but I didn't want wait 6-7 hours to convert the avi just to be in the wrong format again. Thanjs a lot bud.
the stretching vertically is normal. its going for an anamorphic encode, using 16:9 tag. it will resize properly during playback. otherwise you can encode as 4:3, resize to 704x352 and add 64pixel on top and bottom to make it 720x480.
