widescreen avi

[Icicle35]

I can't seen to figure out how to convert this avi to mpg using TMPGEnc so that it would appear correctly on my tv. It's a widescreen avi movie and pretty good quality, but it appears really mixed up and stuff on my television. the stats or whatever for it are

MPEG-1 640x360 29.97fps CBR 1150kbps, Layer-2 48000Hz 192kbps

that's what appears on TMPGEnc, I was thinking it was the aspect ratios that i had to adjust to properly encode but I can't seem to figure it out.

You should open the avi in VirtualDub and view the file properties.
As far as I can see, the framesize is 640x360 and the audio samplerate is 48kHz.
In TMPG go to setting > advanced > source aspect ratio 1:1, video arrange method: full screen [keep aspect ratio]
Even better select video arrange method center[custom size] and type
320x164 (NTSC) or 320x196 (PAL)
At the video tab set aspect ratio 4:3.

According to the VCD standard you have to downsample the audio to 44,1 kHz. (audio tab)
