2.35 apect ratio problem.

[mogshaz]

Ok, i have a file i am converting to m2v from avi and i was setting all the options in tmpgenc plus! whem i realised this odd aspect ratio. I am a newb to encoding and have not ever run into this before. So, my question is what should i set the source aspect ratio and the converted aspect ratio as?

1) Give us a screen cap of your source file so we can see what it should look like.

2) Describe what it is you are trying to do. In proper English, preferably.

I apologize but, what exactly is a "screen cap"?

Edit: I figured out the aspect ratio using the guide. I thank you both for the assistance.

Hello,

Just to let you know here are two of the most common ratios for movies:

2.35:1
1.85:1

Movies like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and other "EPIC" movies are in the super stretch mode (it will fill only the middle portion of a normal 4:3 tv). (2.35:1)

The 1.85 mode is mostly for comedies and some drama bits.... The bars will only consume a small portion of a 4:3 tv.

(I know there are other ratios but the VAST MAJORITY of hollywood movies use one of those two ratios )
