Aspect ratio in Ulead Movie Factory

[Mikael]

I wonder how you manually change the aspect ratio under mpeg settings in the project settings in Ulead MovieFactory. I can only change to the predefined ratios. I want 720 x 544 but can only get 720 x 576. The manual setting field in the program is greyed out. Is there any way to unlock this, or am I just doing something wrong?

I convert my DV files to mpeg-2 in TMPGEnc beffore I insert them in my MovieFactory project. To manually set the ratio in TMPEnc is no problem. However, the aspect ratio I choose in TMPGEnc does not seem to have any effect when I use the files in MovieFactory.

Thankful for any help!

Yeah same problem here. I encode through TMPGEnc using 352 or 480 but movie factory changes it and there's no wat to get to the greyed out section.

I solved the problem!

When encoding with TMPGEnc, just go to setting - advanced, and choose "center (custom size)" under video arrange method.
