hey i am trying to get an avi to a dvd. I have tried about a bazilion different programs over the past three dayts haha i have got about 20 progams which ive gone through. I am now trying TMPGEnc and from what i have heard it is really good however, the widescreen features are confusing me. I have a dvd rip and it is in widescreen and nearly 100% wquality. Now i dont want to loose quality and i have done sum programs which have stuffed up the quality and got rid of the widescreen, on TMPGEnc i chose widescreen 16:9 but when it got to the part where its incoding the movie, it shows a preview as its doing it and it looks like its not in widescreen? the picture takes up the whole box and there is no lines at the top and bottom indicating its widescreen? its 45% through it so im gona wait and see how it goes. I want it to be widescreen for my widescreen panasonic tv and i dont want it streected. Can anyone help me out on what i should do or anyother programs that would do the job better?
When you select the output mode of 16/9, the picture does take up more of the screen top to bottom (perhaps this is why you are not seeing the letterbox). The reason it does this is to compensate for the fact that it is going to be stretched more side-to-side on a WS TV than on a regular 4:3 TV. See this: http://gregl.net/videophile/anamorphic.htm
hey when i did it it split the files up into audio and video so i couldnt put them together. So i then downloaded tmpgenc dvd author and now im trying with this to create a wide screen with my avi but it doesnt look the best quality when i preview it on the thing? it says click aspect ratio? and when i select 16:9 it looks pixelated and when i leave it to 1:1 (square pixel) it stil has the boarders at the top? and when i do it to widescreen it dissapears?
You seem to be making it more complicated than it is. Presumably, the original avi is 1:1. When you select it as the source Tmpgenc Encoder, somewhere there is a place where you can set the source A/R 1:1. Secondly, there should be a place where you can tell it to either create the output as an mpeg, or separate, as an m2v and mp2. Even if you got the m2v and mp2, you can feed those into DVD Author and use that, and it will author the DVD for you.
i am so confused it isnt funny. do u have msn or sumthing i can talk to u ovee this matter? its because ill show u the link but i dont wanna send it over here cause i will probly get banned haa. i tried putting the audio and video into the encoder but it doesnt read the audio and it doesnt have any sound? so im just gonna try with the normal avi. The normal avi has the black lines on the top and bottom, so im guessing its a 1:1 howveer it is a widescreen movie. Help!!!
If you want to show an image or screen shot, use an image hosting site and put the link in here - it's allowed. For example, http://imageshack.us/ Have you considered using one of the all-in-one DVD solutions, like VSO Convertx and DVF Flick ? If the source avi has black bars. you might get better results if you crop them out.
CXD 3 has some very nice options for your display. In settings-> Video processing take it off Auto and choose user-defined. Now at the preview set it at 16:9 and try all the different options and use what you like. Original 2.35:1 with large bars, small bars or no bars.
