    well i have a movie that is 576 by 256 i'm trying to make it a widescreen production but i've failed multiple times on resizing it. here's my settings i'm hoping somebody can help me out. I'm making a guess the original movie was a 16:9





    so that's the settings. I'm pretty darn experienced with tmpg problem i'm not a real big pro but I know how to navigate the settings pretty well so let me know if you need more.

    again i'm trying to accomplish a 16:9 or widescreen production. I beleive the rip when i ripped it was a 16:9 production.
    It's the M-O-N-O and I can't even spell the rest, it takes too long and I need another cigarette, I can't hear my right ear is mad wack, so stfu and listen or get an ass kickin

    Can't see the images, even if I go the original locations.

    576 x 256 is 2.25:1, so it is definately widescreen. However, if it is not stretched then you are seeing it as 1:1 pixel AR. You need to resize this for the correct pixel aspect ratio, then encode it.

    http://www.xbox-guru.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/divx_to_dvd.htm#Step%204

    Takes you to the correct section of a larger guide, and should show you one approach to resizing and encoding for 16:9

    As an alternative to the excel spreadsheet mentioned in this guide, you can use FitCD to create an avisynth script, or my resize calculator (see my sig).
    Read my blog here.

  3. All you have to do is change the Video Arrange Method from "Center (custom size)" to "Full screen (keep aspect ratio)"

    Since your video is wider than 16:9 it will continue to have some black border at the top and bottom. Just like any commercial movie DVD.

  4. i was going to say the same thing. set the video arrange method to "Full screen (keep aspect ratio)"

    it should be fine like that.

    If you ripped it originally, why not just do a normal DVD backup ?
    If in doubt, Google it.

    will any of the dvd trail off the screen. that's the main thing.

    also my dvd is scratched to hell that's why I re-ordered another one but the information still is nice.

    576 x 256 is 2.25:1

    This is exactly right now that i remember 2.25:1 is the resolution. Will the full screen keep aspect ratio work or were you refering to if I wanted to convert it from a 2.25:1 to a 16:9.

    It will turn out just like a commercial DVD movie -- except it won't be as clear because you're starting with less. It will continue to have small black bars at the top and bottom on a 16:9 display and a little of the left and right edges of the picture will be lost to overscan on all TVs.

    aight i'm gonna encode this so there's no stretch or anything i'm gonna set the source to 2.25:1 and the stream to 2.25:1 720*480 then use center keep aspect ratio. I'm hoping this will remake my dvd to at least the right aspect ratio obviousely not the same quality but meh....let me know if that will work.

    like junkmalle said, all you have to do is change video arrange method to full screen (keep aspect ratio).
    you can just leave source aspect ratio set to VGA 1:1

    aight, I thought it would matter because when i set the source and stream it affected accordingly in the preview pane.

    edit: 10 hours later and it turned out to be a perfect box. this is due to the stream type and possibly what i put in the source pane. it turned out like this



    yeah so that kinda sucks......here's the settings I put you guys told me to put keep aspect ratio and I did but the source and stream type is what's mixing it up i think. I'll circle what i'm talkin about to help you guys out if you need it. keep in mind i'm still a n00b even after all these years.

    nevermind i'm a dumbass and i can't follow simple instructions. My apology. I've been using center keep aspect ratio this whole time and now it makes that much more sense. here goes another 10 hour encode. This is kinda interesting.

    Why don't you use the "Source Range" function to just do a 30 second or 1 minute sample encode to test that you've got the settings right ?

    10 hours when you may still be wrong is ridiculous.
    If in doubt, Google it.

  14. Your source is almost certainly 1:1 pixel aspect ratio. So your Source Aspect Ratio should be set to 1:1 VGA.

    This is a little confusing on TMPGEnc's part. All the other Source Aspect Ratio settings refer to the Picture/Display Aspect Ratio, but the 1:1 setting refers to the Pixel Aspect Ratio. Most Windows monitors are 1:1 Pixel Aspect Ratio so people encode Divx/Xvid AVI files to that.

    so what your saying is as long as the aspect ratio is intact and it's converted to a computer format such as divx it's safe to say to use 1:1 vga? lol....makes sense. God a lot of this is finaly starting to come together after all these years.

    Hey well it still doesn't work. Trails off the screen for very close to an inch. Fricken sucks. Is this normal. I mean honestly to tell you the truth. I'd rather it have a slightly off ar then trailing off the screen at all. Bugz the crap out of me.

  19. All TVs overscan the image. Everything you have ever seen on a standard definition television has been missing the edges of the picture. Why does this particular video bother you?

    or you could try changing video arrange method to "center (keep aspect ratio)". i think maybe this will make it smaller. DONT CHANGE ANYHTING ELSE! just video arrange method, encode for a minute and play it back!

  21. Try 656x354, Center Custom Size, 1:1 VGA as the source aspect ratio, 16:9 for the output AR. That will pad the edges a bit so that the black border falls in the overscan area. Note that, although this is what you want, it is not the way commercial DVDs are produced.
