TMPGEnc Question,...

[BigBlackFan]

What's Up,

just a quick question. Recently I encoded a movie to VCD

using TEMPGEnc...instead of using 4:3 in the Aspect Ratio

i chose 1:1. Does that mean when i watch the movie on my

DVD player it will have a big black border around it?..

rather than being full-screen?...Thanks in advance.

Most players disregard that setting on VCDs, and simply stretch or squeeze the picture horizontally to fit the screen. The White Book standard does not permit non-4:3 ratios, so this falls outside the VCD specification per se.

Off hand, I don't remember if the aspect ratio is even encoded into the mpeg-1 syntax.
