I have a few video files with an aspect ratio that does not fit into either the PAL or NTSC sizes, for example 608x336. On the computer it looks like a widescreen movie, as it should. However when i burn it onto a vcd the file is resized to 352x240. This causes the file to squeeze the picture when i play it back on my dvd player. I am using the latest version of Nero, i think 5.5.8.2. I have considered adding bars to the top and bottom of the picture, but as far as i know that would require re-encoding and this is a bit time consuming to do to all my videos. If anyone knows how to burn with a preserved aspect ratio, your help would be much appreciated

Eh? If you "burn AVI to VCD with Nero" as you said, you're already re-encoding. Only problem is that you're encoding with extremely crappy encoder which is bundled with Nero.

Look at our article section (http://www.afterdawn.com/articles/) and check the DivX to VCD guide -- if you don't need subtitles, skip directly to TMPGEnc part. There you see the settings that preserve the correct aspect ratio when re-encoding to VCD-compliant MPEG-1. Then simply burn the ready MPEG-1 file into VCD using the Nero guide also found from our article section.
