Hey !

After a bit of searching on the site i still havent found an answer . See I have this Avi file that im trying to convert into 16:9 and then burn to a disk but it seems when i start to encode the 2 bars that should be on the bottom and top move to the sides . :-S

Would anyone know why this is doing it ? Or how i could go about fixing it !


Much thanks to all replys !!

Well you should only encode to 16:9 if you have a widescreen TV set in which case it would be displayed on a Widescreen TV set without Bars on top and Bottom...You only see the Bars on top and Bottom when displaying a 16:9 Movie on a 4:3 TV set or if you convert a 16:9 movie to 4:3....

What encoder are you useing???

What is the resolution of your AVI file??

Tell me these things then I can try to tell you how to Properly encode it so it has Bars on top and Bottom if it is Possible....

Well I just did the Calculations on resizeing a 352x264 to Full DVD Resolution (720x480) and it resizes to 640x480 with means that there will be 40 Pixel Bars at the Sides and none at the Top and Bottom....

This File can not be resized to DVD Resolution while keeping the Bars on top and Bottom because the Source Resolution can not be Resized that way...UNLESS You want to Crop off a Bunch of the top and Bottom of the Frame and replace it with Black Bars or If you just resized it down so you can Fit the Black Bars in but then it would look Like everything appears Short ,Fat and Squished from top to bottom....

The Software you used did properly resize the Video it was just that the Source Resolution can not be resized the way you want it to look....

Also Resizeing such a Low resolution File to such a High resolution will totally degrade the quality and Make for a Huge File Size when you don"t have to....
When you have very Low resolution source Files it is Better to use one of the Other DVD standards that uses Lower resolutions that way you don"t loose quality from Resizeing up so much and you only need a Fraction of the bitrate to encode the Video as you do with Higher resolution DVD Standards which m,eans that the File size will be much lower and you can Fit much more Video on a DVD.....

You would get better Quality and more Video on a DVD if you used the Half D1 DVD Standard (352x480) or the SIF/CIF DVD Standard (352x240) and with the Half D1 Standard you can Fit up to 4 hours on a DVD and with the SIF/CIF Standard you can Fit over 6 hours on a DVD and with Better quality than if you were to resize from 352x264 to 720x480 and put say 2 hours on a DVD.....

Cheers
