    Sorry if this has been asked before but I want to know the correct resolutions to use for Divx movies.

    I want to use a width of 640 for my movies but I want to know the correct height to use in the following situations:-

    16:9 (1.78:1)
    1.85:1 (or is it the same as 16:9)?
    2.35:1
    I won't ask for 2.76:1 because it's only been used a couple of times and I don't see too many people on this forum wanting a full screen format of Ben-Hur

    Thanks for any replies and please try and avoid just giving me a random link like doom9.org because I can never find exactly what I am looking for.

    16:9 (1.78:1) - 640 x 360
    1.85:1 - 640 x 346
    2.35:1 - 640 x 272
    2.40:1 - 640 x 266
    2.76:1 - 640 x 232

    All of the above are what I use for the different aspect ratios. They are calculated almost exactly to the aspect ratios. I have never heard of 2.76:1, what movies is it in. Also I included 2.40:1 because of Minority Report, Die Another Day etc.

    Years ago there were some experimenting with aspect ratios, the movie Ben-Hur was filmed in 2.76:1, check the technical specs out here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052618/technical there are some other films in that format but I can't remember them at present.

    Anyway thanks very much for those resolutions
