TMPGEnc with Distorted Picture

[dtaylor66]

I have been trying to convert Tombstone(16:9) to VCD for about a week with same results. Picture on TV has the borders and takes up the screen the way it should but looks skinny and tall. I am using Smartripper, DVDAVI and TMPGEnc plus 2.59. Here are the settings for TMPGEnc.

Video stream setting:
MPEG-1
352x240
16:9 525 line (NTSC)
29.97fps
2-pass VBR
1150
0(automatic)
High quality(slow)

Video source setting:
interlace
Top field first (field A)
16:9 525 line NTSC

The video arrange method is something i have been changing, thinking that it is the problem. I tried Full screen, Full screen (keep aspect ratio) and i am trying full screen (keep aspect ratio 2) tonight. I want my final picture to be 16:9. If there is something that i am doing wrong please help. Tks

I have seen plenty of guides that talk about encoding 4:3 movies but none about 16:9. I am not trying to change it, I want to keep it at 16:9.
Someone please help!!!!!!!!!

Try setting the Aspect Ratio under the Video Tab to 4:3 (525 Lines) NTSC. Also, VCD doesn't use Interlace so set the Video source type to Non-interlace (progressive) and the Field order to Bottom field first (field B). You could also try setting the Source aspect ratio to 1:1 (VGA) if it's DivX.

Hope That Helps!!! :P

I suppose that the last post was letting me know that i should have waited longer before pleading for help. Sorry.
