Authoring a dvd 544 x 576 resolution

[Astrogirl]

Hi. I am trying to author a 544 x 576 dvd, I tried with dvd lab pro and when I open the vob file it gives me an error that isn't compatible with a normal dvd resolution (of course!). I tried to demuxing it, but when I do... is like does not work. It's a dvd complaint because I checked it out with GSPOT. Please, anyone can tell me what software use for authoring it or how can I changed it into a standard dvd resolution?.

Thanks A LOT.

544 by 576 is not DVD compliant as it falls between the 352 by 576 and 720 by 576 PAL Standard

It sounds like a DVB file. in the USA I can play 544 by 480 NTSC from DVB in my players, OTOH all players do not play it as it is unsupported resolution. I patch the header resolution and add to TDA then unpatch back to original Resolution, author and burn.

I use DVD patcher to patch/unpatch.

Otherwise use any Mpeg encoder to encode to DVD standards,

No, it's not DVD-compliant. 352 x 288, 352 x 576, 704 x 576 and 720 x 576 are DVD-compliant.

The quick method is DVDPatcher, which should be able to fool authoring softwares into thinking it is a DVD-compliant resolution, but then it's up to your player(s) as to if they can play it back. Don't forget to patch the VOBs your authoring software outputs back to the original frame size two.

The guaranteed method is to re-encode to a DVD-compliant frame size, either keeping the original image size and padding with black borders to make up the rest or by resizing the image to fill the screen whilst retaining the aspect ratio.

Personally, I'd prefer method "b".
If you notice, vertical resolution would be intact, what is a good thing.
I think you could crop 4 pixels (2 from each side), getting 540 horizontal lines. After that you can resize to 720 x 576. Notice 720 is 4/3 of 540 and this fact will generate a better resize. You will interpolate a pixel for each 3.
That's what I'd do.
Good luck. Please report your results.
