I am having trouble converting avi's to dvd & mkv to avi. The quality stays lovely and the sound but they always turn out with borders / boxed no matter what I do. I still get the whole picture but it is much smaller because of the boxing.
I have this trouble on Vista 64 bit & Windows 7 64 bit, using Winavi, ConvertXtodvd & Aiseesoft MKV Converter. The codecs I use is Vista or Windows 7 codecpack. All drivers are up to date.
I did exactly what you have in the pic, and my preview shows the file going all the way across like yours but when I convert it I still have the bars on the side?

Bars on the side sound like 4:3 material converted to 16:9.

The problem is it does it with every avi, if it was only one or two I would agree, I tried Nero Express and that did it perfect, that makes it even weirder lol. The reason I don't stick to Nero is because I want software that puts chapters in, I don't care about menu's can do that myself
Nero Express is a simple burning app, nothing more. If you are referring to converting/authoring in Nero Vision, it most certainly does chapters, either automatically (lots of them) or manually (as many as you want and where you want them).
