Help: converting 4:3 mpg to 16:9

[zhodak]

Could someone please let me know how I can convert a 4:3 mpeg2 back to 16:9.

I forgot to set the aspect ratio in Tmpgenc to "Full Screnn (keep aspect ratio)" when i was converting from the original divx. And stupid me I deleted the avi before i checked the mpeg.

The file is now full screen, but the image is squashed. I would like to go back to the original 16:9 aspect.

Thanks for any help.

This is the kind of question we all like to answer...the kind that will immediately and easily clear things up!

Check out the <---Tools section.
Should be "DVD Patcher" or "ReStream". IIRC, both of these can do it (without any re-encoding). Restream usually writes to a new file, for safety purposes, so you'll need the extra drive space. Otherwise, they work exactly as you'd want them to.

HTH,
