AVI to DVD without "black borders"??

[zajt]

i have AVI- file 640x256 and i will make a DVD PAL 4:3, 352x288, ( just because i want to get rid of the black borders).i have no widescreen and i want to have the movie on fullscreen on my TV.

How do the aviscript look like......if i write Bicubicresize(352,288,0,0.75) the movie looks "high".

How should the formule look like when encoding in avisynth??
OR is there any better way to do this?

Anyone with any idea or link are most welcome to give me a hint.

?? You can't expect to fit a 640*256 movie in a 4:3 display without either distort it completely or add black borders top & bottom. You could of course crop left and right side out, but that would leave only the middle 341 pixels...

why i some dvd-movies, almost without blackborders, and showing the picture correct. this is what i want to do also. and they have 352x288 size...

In that case, they weren't 640*256 to begin with! 352*288 is pretty close to 4*3, so:
Given a source height of 256, you can keep the proportions if width=341 pixels. Only way to keep the full source picture, while keeping the proportions is to (in TMPGEnc) set encoding to full screen, keep aspect ratio. 640 pixels are reduced to 352 (a factor of 1.82), so the height has to be reduced to 256/1.82=140, leaving (288-140)/2=74 pixels high black borders top and bottom.
