I have an MKV file that plays perfectly on my computer, but because it is HD, I need to convert it to a .ts file to play through my PS3 via TVersity.
When I look at the properties of the original MKV file, the video resolution is 952x720, however, the aspect ratio is listed as 16:9. However, after using tsMuxer, the resulting file is still 952x720, but the aspect ratio is changed to 1.32x1, squishing the image vertically. Now, I realize I can stretch it out on my television, but that seems to be an inelegant solution.
Is there a way to mux the file or use a different program that will allow me to keep the original aspect ratio from the MKV?
Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm having a similar problem.. I am burning a MKV to Bluray but the result is a messed up aspect ratio. The source file says it is 1280x528p. How do I get it to burn at 16:9? I assume I need to add black bars at the top and bottom to make it 1280x720. Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

The only method I've found that works is to frameserve it with AviSynth and re-encode using MeGUI.
You'd write an AviSynth script that adds 96-pixel tall borders on the top and bottom (which adds up to 192, and 192 plus 528 = 720), and then re-encode the video with MeGUI.
It's very laborious, though. And time-consuming. If you don't have a good CPU (like dual-core and up), you can expect an encode time of well over 24 hours for a full-length movie.

Ok wow.. that is more work than I am looking to put in to make a bluray. I guess the source would need to come already in the right resolution? Figure the odds. Thanks.. I'll give it a try and see how it works out.
Thanks,

Well, if it's an irregular resolution like that, I'm assuming that the ones who ripped it got rid of the black borders in the first place - all Bluray videos have standard HD resolutions - 1280x720 or 1920x1080 (and maybe 480p, I dunno).
What the rippers did was take that standard-resolution video and remove the black borders to shave off a bit of the filesize.
Which, in my opinion, is a fairly pointless move, seeing as how they'd probably save only a few kilobytes - maybe a few megabytes - of data, whereas the file itself is already up in the gigabytes.
So to answer your question, the SOURCE is already in the right resolution. The RIPPERS - the ones who re-encode the video, etc. - are the ones who make the resolution irregular.

Right. Dumb move to remove the bars. Thanks for the advice!
