Aspect ratio problem

[beav]

For some reason my encode comes out like this, anyone know why? # Set DAR in encoder to 4 : 3. The following line is for automatic signalling

[poisondeathray]

Is the problem the AR ?

I didn't download the sample, but if you are resizing to 720x540 , I'm assuming you want 4:3 , square pixel

If that's true , take out the global darx, dary commands

[beav]

Know actually it looks like this

[poisondeathray]

post your megui logfile

[beav]

Never mind, I accidentally messed up the resize and didn't notice. Thanks for the help though.

[beav]

So I'm having the same problem, but with a different video. Anyone know what is happening?

[beav]

its suppose to be 720,480 idk why it keeps coming out like this.

So I'm having the same problem, but with a different video. Anyone know what is happening?

post your megui logfile

The same request still holds. No one here can read minds.

[beav]

Where is the log file located? meGUI from what I know didn't make one.

[poisondeathray]

Where is the log file located? meGUI from what I know didn't make one.

In the "logs" folder . It should be in the megui directory

[beav]

ok I'll check.

[beav]

This is my log file. Sometimes the aspect ratio will come up like the image up top, while at other times when it gets to the second pass it closes the encoding window and says error under the status tab.

[enim]

wxh where as w>h in your case w<h.

[beav]

I'm a little stupid so can you explain to me what that means. lol srry.

[mike20021969]

I'm a little stupid so can you explain to me what that means. lol srry.

wxh means Width x Height.

The width should be greater than the height, but in your case width is less than the height.

Swap the width and height values around.

[beav]

no but the problem I'm having is that my files keep coming out the wrong width and height. I have megui set to 4:3 and my script has the resize set to 720 x 540.
Spline36Resize(720,540) #spline (neutral)

[Cornucopia]

Why are you resizing to that nonstandard resolution at all?

[enim]

I assumed end-user input error, when I said,

wxh where as w>h in your case w<h.

I never had a chance to use MeGUI. You can try by turning-off all processing filters one by one.

When I looked at the pics you posted, I thought I am drunk. and you know, I pinched my self twice just to make it sure. So funny solution from the drunk, try after several pegs.

MeGUI increases height + HandBrake cuts heads and tails = Proper Aspect Ratio (May be)!
Take your MeGUI output to HandBrake and re-encode, may be you will get desired output.

reading other posts, i have not used HandBrake either, oooooOOOOOPPPS!

[enim]

beav did you captured "SAILOR_MOON"?
Coz Sailor Moon's Usagi Tsukino (Serena Tsukino) inspired some big daddy who fallen for her and later rocks the world and others successfully elevated to higher heights, apparently disappeared.

[beav]

Yes, actually I'm encoding Sailor Moon soft-subbed in R2 quality, but MeGUI had been causing lots of problems lately.
