AVSTODVD Questions

[thomasj]

Why does AVSTODVD want to resize my video? Also why is SSRC failing?

Error is: "ERROR, SSRC: could not resample between two sample rates."

[_MrC_]

Why does AVSTODVD want to resize my video?

Because the DAR is 1.5 and not 4/3. Use 'Vertical Resize' in 'Title Edit'/'Avisynth' to adjust it.

Also why is SSRC failing?

7575 Hz is not a very common sample rate, SSRC may not support it. Try to use ResampleAudio(48000) instead.

Thanks MrC, that's very helpful--just wanted I needed to know.
