Question: Converting widescreen divx to VCD.

[ellandry]

How can I get the movie to enlarge to full screen without some of the side picture being lost. I am trying every setting witin Tmpegenc but no luck. Thx

You can't - that is what is done when a widescreen movie is converted to pan & scan (in particular for VHS). Almost 1/2 the total image is lost.

The only thing you can do to keep the entire image but make it fullscreen is to stretch the image from the top and bottom. In TMPGEnc, you can do so by the "clip image" option, stretch the video until the black bars are gone and reencode.

And if you do that it will look horribly distorted.

Funny you should say that but I have lost a stone (14 pounds) in the last month after putting on half a stone and struggling to get into my trousers.
