Hello! I have been digging and hunting for some time now, but I cannot find a software that can convert a 4.3 aspect ratio AVI to 16.9 using smart sizing or smart stretching. By that I am referring to the stretching of the viewable image to the sides using mostly the first 1/4 or so of each side and leaving things more normal as it gets to the center. Id this something that only exists for viewing purposes? Thank you, Steven
I don't know how smart it is but there is a warp filter for use in Avisynth that you might find useful. The top left image is a 4:3 720x480 movie - the left is resized to a 16:9 resolution without the bars - the henchmen in the back seat and Cagney are now squished. The bottom right images are the 720x480 resized to the same 16:9 resolution using the warp filter and avisynth. Note the henchmen and Cagney in both bottom images are closer to the original 720x480 proportions. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=14416 directshowsource("wh.vob") LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SimpleResize.dll") ConvertToYuY2() WarpedResize(640,360,0.95,1.15)
