I load the avi in GSpot and under "video x:y" I can read
640x272 (2.35:1) [=40:17]
And the people here says "ok your file is a Anamorphic one u should treat it like that when converting"
How can u see that my file is anamorphic ?
I mean I have several different avi's, I just want to be sure that I resize them right when i encode to MPEG2...

True 16:9 is anamorphic from a DVD. It is a 854x480 video encoded at 720x480. So, if you do a screen capture of a scene, it will look squashed in the horizontal axis (which it is). What you have is a letterboxed encoded movie, which is not anamorphic.
To make your movie anamorphic, crop off 78 pixels from each side, then resize your movie to 720x480. Author as a 16:9 movie, and it will display properly.ICBM target coordinates:
26° 14' 10.16"N -- 80° 16' 0.91"W -
Thanks.
But what I really need to know is what settings i should use in DVD2SVCD when I encod to mpeg2 ?
I have these to choose from
1. 4:3(No borders,encode as 4:3)
2. 16:9(borders added,encode as 4:3)
3. Anamorphic(no borders,encode as 16:9)
I want it to look as good as possible on a 16:9 TV ??
Do I need to make it anamorphic ? -

Baldrick.
Can I use same settings for this also ?
608x256 (2.38:1) [=19:8] ?
And is there a site/link that explains more about this ?
How to understand this (2.38:1) [=19:8] I mean.. -
608x256 (2.38:1) [=19:8] means that :
Your video width is 2.38 times larger than height (608/256 = 2.375 rounded to 2.38)
Another way to write this ratio with (the smallest) integer numbers is 19/8 (= 2.375)
so 608/256 = 2.38/1 = 19/8 -
Yes ok I understand thanks.
But still I need more info about how to encode youre video so it look right in widescreen 16:9? That the width is 2,38 times larger than the height don't help me much I think....
And if u have a projector and a big silverscreen, can I still go on and convert like 16:9 (add borders encode as 4:3), I think so atleast . -
Shit.
Baldrick suggested nr 2. borders added, and i think that would be good.
But i forgott that some clips clips are in NTSC and i live in a PAL country so i have those black borders on my tv now ...
If I encode as 4:3 (no borders encode as 4:3) then the borders are gone ?
Should I do like this instead when it comes to NTSC avi's ?
Cause I havent suceeded to framrate from NTSC to PAL without sync problems...
