When I tried to encode an NTSC wide screen 16:9 movie using TmpgEnc, the problem I am having is the top and bottom of the screen where the black bars are shown is not really black, but a mixture of black and little white. (I used Centre, custom size setting in TmpgEnc under the advanced tab and in the Video arrange method box).

This has caused a bit of problem, because now I have two different types of blacks (the black bar produced by TmpgEnc and the outer extra black bar from my 4:3 TV) shown in the top and bottom of my screen. Thus, I have two different shades of blacks at the top and at the bottom.
Is there any settings I can apply within TmpgEnc or through an AviSynth filter that will make the black bars really black ?

Thanks in advanced

Don't use Center custom size.
Set the output on the Video screen to be 16:9 instead of 4:3, then use fullscreen, keep aspect ratio 2.
It should then be letterboxed properly.

Great! I will give that a try and should know the result in about 5 hours. Thanks for the tip.

No need to wait for a fully finished encode.
Do 5 minutes and test it in a good software player, or burn to a DVDRW.

Hi,

The problem was not attributable to TMPGEnc. It was caused by DVD2AVI and the fact that TV system has a color scheme of 8-235 while DVD will output 0-255.

Instead of using DVD2AVI, I switch to DGIndex and set the video option to TV scale, then over at TMPGEnc encoder's quantize matrix, I checked off the "Output YUV data as Basic YCbCr not CCIR601". My blacks is stands very black, and I can't see 2 shades of blacks anymore.

Cheers...
