When I burn and watch a video file I have, my television crops off the bottom just enough that I can't read the subtitles on the bottom! I know you can adjust it somehow when you encode to make it stretch and fit the screen, or whatnot, correct? Something with the aspect ratio? I read another thread that said to press alt and enter while in Windows Media Player but mine just goes straight to full screen.

So I'm asking for a little help on finding out what the aspect ratio is, and how to make sure the entire movie can fit onto my TV screen.

Thanks in advance!

If there was borders u are looking at 16:9 as ur aspect ratio!

If you are encoding with TMPGEnc, then click setting - advanced tab and change video arrange method to "full screen (keep aspect ratio)".

If you open the movie up with AVICodec or GSpot it tells you the aspect ratio. If you are encoding the movie you have the option of setting the aspect ratio (you may have to dabble with advanced settings depending on the encoder)

The strange thing is, it was already set on Full Screen - keep aspect ratio. But it still cuts off at the bottom. Would it help if I adjusted the custom aspect ratio part of the file under the Advanced tab?

Probably not to be honest, i think this is a problem with your stand alone stretching and not TMPGEnc at all
