I have a few videos from my senior year in high school that I'm trying to edit and clean up so I can save them. They were just dumped off of dvds so they're in Vob format and all one big file. I have no problem splicing them, I'm using nerovision for that. But one on one of them the aspect ratio is off. It's very tall...any idea how to fix it?
Could it be that the VOB in question is anamorphically encoded ?
(for wide screen TV) - in this mode, the "tallness" of the aspect ratio
is compensated by stretching further to the sides when used with
a WS TV.
If you open the vob with Gspot, it will tell you the dar on the
lower right of the screen. It will either be 4:3 or 16:9.
If you mean something else, please explain further.
yeah that's what I thought, I tried DVD Patcher which let me switch it to 16:9 which helped a lot but it needs stretched just a little bit more. So I was hoping to find a program that would let me change the ratio manually.
well like i said, I tried re-encoding one of them so it was 16:9 but it wasn't good enough. I really need something that will let me set the ratio manually to whatever I want, not limited to 4:3 and 16:9.
If you're not getting anywhere, you could make a small piece of the VOB available and post it to a file sharing service . Myself and/or
others will certainly look at it.
