I was sent a torrent on my site of a 25 year old hockey game. It's in .mov format. No matter what I've done to try and fix the size it won't change. I've tried converting to wmv and xvid.avi I've tried changing the scale size and nothing changes it. I'm using eRightsoft Super. and I even tried converting right to DVD with convertxtodvd. Can anybody advise something to try to fix this? Thank you for you help in advance.
Not much on Aspect Ratio but without knowing the proper size, this is kind of hit and miss. Anyone feel free to chime in with a better method. Video is either 720 x (480-NTSC or 576-PAL). Alltoavi will let you convert to avi and let you set a custom AR (free, fast and only 3% quality loss, supposedly): http://alltoavi.sourceforge.net/ Guess I'd start there, make an avi keeping the 720 and dropping the other number's by about 25-30 at a time and see what you think. Just guessing though.
If you have ConvertXtoDVD 3 you should be able to adjust the output. In the Resize options you can pad/crop/stretch/squish (whatever you want to call it) Read the Help file or the manual which is available at VSO's site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAW8wWh-x0M&feature=channel_page
AWESOME! I never knew that repair part existed in convertxtodvd. Cool. I adjusted and am keeping my fingers crossed now. It's making. What's weird is the video was real tall and skinny for some reason. It was sort of like 720x280ish. Good game, but real hard to watch all skinny like that....LOL I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the responses!
Ok, I guess there is just something really really wrong with this video. I've used the stretch option. Resize option and I get nothing. It just won't fix
If this is an important video, I'm still betting Alltoavi can fix this unless you tried it too. It won't involve much time as you're just converting the file, not encoding. Start at 720 x 450, then 420, 390, maybe 360 but any more and the black bar's (letterboxing) are a bit much, I think. If satisfactory, try encoding at 16.9.
