Possible to change AVCHD aspect ratio?

[hiimbored]

I have a Panasonic BD-60 Blu-Ray player so it can only play AVCHD I guess. I authored a AVCHD disc using TSmuxer but on my Blu-Ray player, the picture is vertically stretched. The picture looks like it is supposed to have the black bars on the top and bottom, but it doesn't. Is there a way to correct this (using either tsmuxer or multiavchd)? Thanks!

What was the source? 16x9 Camcorder? Anamorphic DVD?

What is the TV monitor? HDMI connected 1080p 16x9, or...?

Source was a Blu-Ray, and the file is a 1080p mkv file. The TV monitor is HDMI connected to 1080p 16x9.

Use uncropmkv to re-encode the video and add black bars to the top and bottom so that way you will have a compliant video. Then run through tsmuxer or multiAVCHD and your video will be in the correct aspect ratio.

In uncropmkv, do I have to change anything besides the "Resize" option? I switched it from 1920x800 to 1920x1080, does that sound right? I'm just trying to add black bars to the top and bottom so I can watch it on my 16:9 TV.

UncropMKV should work it all out when you load the video. The only change you should have to make is to select an appropriate encoding quality. For a 720p video with a running time of around 95 minutes it takes around 10 hours to encode using 2-pass VHQ on a 6600 Quad Core using 3 cores.

If your computer specs are correct in your profile, you could be looking at 24 hours or more for a result.

Try using 2pass fast encoding with uncropmkv,takes me 2 hours to re-encode a 100 minute mkv 1920x800 to 1920x1080,the bitrate will be high enough as long as the clip isnt a fast paced action thriller.Using 2p vhq to me is too long a time unless its very important footage.
