Handbrake

[Bazza-61]

Hi i was trying to use handbrake for the first time as i usually use ripbot but was having trouble with a movie timing out for some reason.
anyway with handbreak how do i set up the picture to show 1920 x 1080 as this is as the original source.
the help menu didnt make to much sence for me.
i tried it once with the width & height at 1920 x 1080 and the box ticked keep aspect ratio but it came out as 4:3.

cheers.

What does mediainfo say about the resoulution and aspect ratio in the converted file?

But I would instead try BD Rebuilder(yep it converts to mp4,mk4) or BluRip. Handbrake isn't perfect for blu-ray sources.

Thanks, i deleted the converted file but ill now try BD rebuilder.

re: 4:3 - was anamorphic checked?

no i had this turned off.
ive tried to back up this movie using ripbot & BD rebuilder and neither will work on this movie, handbrake worked but i think i had the wrong settings i am tring to keep it as the original source 1920 x 1080 or close to it if i can.

just about everthing with this program i think i have right just need to work out how to set up the picture size.

cheers
