Hi all, I have a slight problem;

I am converting a 16:9 MPEG2 PAL source to an XViD 16:9 source, all is fine, encodes fine and plays fine in VLC, and looks WS as it should, however when i play it in windows media player, it is no longer widescreen but fullscreen? This is the same for PowerDVD, only VLC seems to play it correctly, Anyone know how i can fix this? Is it something i've done wrong?

Thanks

Steve

use media player classic, and force the aspect ratio.
or FFDShow overlay mixer.

try matroska or mp4 container.

What dshow decoder are you using? Because there is a bug in the XviD one where it doesn't resize properly if you have bframes that aren't packed. Also older versions don't support resizing at all. Other encoders like DivX also don't support PAR resizing.

mkv has its own AR settings that even some older versions (depends how far back you go) of XviD support. Also depends on the splitter though. mp4 supports numerous ways to do AR. I should point out that it doesn't matter if you remux the stream, the original PAR info will stay.

So your file does use bframes that aren't packed?

No such thing. Well actually I think I did modify it so that it resized even without the DivX packed bitstream tag, however I busted some other stuff and I don't think that I kept the binary or source.
