I ripped a 2.35:1 dvd with good results except that it didnt fit my 16.9 pal widescreen tv (borders top and bottom). So in tmpenc I chose the source aspect ratio as 4:3, and video arrange method as full screen keep aspect ratio. Now this fits my tv full screen when I choose one of the user options. Can anyone let me know the settings which mean the movie would encode as 16:9 without altering the user options. Presumably it didnt fit in the first place cos 2.35:1 is not the same as 16:9? Why dont they make 2.35:1 tvs then?
thanks

They dont make 2.35:1 tvs because the screen would appear ridiculously wide and pathetically thin in comparison to what we are used to seeing. This would be a bad selling point in the view of manufacturers and retailers and therefore would not justify the development costs.
It sounds to me that you have got a good result with your encoding but if you want to try to get rid of a little bit more of those black bars you could try to encode with the "Video Arrange Method" set to "No margin (keep aspect ratio)".

if you're using dvd2avi in your dvd ripping, dvd2avi will indicate the source aspect ratio...either 16:9 or 4:3..this is wut u indicate as your source aspect ratio in tmpgenc

as for image positioning method choose: full screen (preserve aspect ratio)

as for the VIDEO OUTPUT settings in tmpgenc, if you want to watch it on widescreen TV, the output should be 16:9 (since 16:9 widescreen TV)...however, it will appeared stretched when you're watching it on a regular 4:3 TV
