quicktime: it changes from 352-320?!

[relight]

tmpgENC encoded mpeg... loads into virtual dub and is fine. but when it loads with quicktime (happens to be default player on my system), quicktime changes it from 352x240 (NTSC encoded, what it's supposed to be, right?) and makes it 320x240. why does quicktime play it like this?

Drag the lower-right corner of the window to re-size.

Better still associate media files with Windows Media Player

sure, but i want to know more fundamentally why quicktime is so bloody stupid that it does this. for even more example, if you look in the file properties, it actually tells me that the source avi is 320x240, but it's not - it's 352x240 as far as i can tell from virtualdub.

320X240 is a fixed size it uses, there is no auto size, you get that as "Normal" Huh you can even select "Double size" what more could you want

um, hello? don't get what you're saying. i want it to show it the size that the mpeg actually is! i don't want it to squish it and be dumb and only use the size of 320x240 or double size, instead of showing the real size of 352x240.

not that it really matters, but it screws up a newbie like me because when i first kept loading the mpeg, i thought over and over that i had done something wrong when encoding it, because quicktime told me the ACTUAL (in addition to the play) property of the mpeg is 320x240, but it is not. so i thought i had made a mistake when in fact i didn't, it was just quicktime.

If you can get it to display the "real size" let me know I'm saying you have pre-set sizes that you can select from, dragging the corner will get to the size you want for pre-view, But the program does not do "Real size"

Like I said use Windows Media Player

Thats funny, I just loaded a DivX and it shows 350 X 240
