Going round in circles now 16:9 4:3?

[danielb]

source is 16:9 according to avicodec. As soon as i encode it to 720x576 and select 16:9, avicodec says its 4:3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and wmp plays it in 4:3. However gspot says its 16:9 and vlc and powerdvd play it as 16:9. I use dvd patcher to patch the header(even though it said its 16:9 any) but the result is the same. These wmv/asf conversions are getting on my tits now

Used tmpgenc and cinemacraft, bith do it except CC makes a right mess of it too lol

AVICodec's information about MPG aspect ratios is unreliable. WMP too.

GSpot shows it correctly, also try MediaInfo.

Cheers lads ill us gspot then in future.

From my other thread

DONE perfect DVD. All i needed was flashget! It downloaded the fastest and the file opened in EVERYTHING. I must have tryed 6-7 applications to download off the msn video mms urls. Flashget it the only one thats flawless for downloading Asf/wmv streams. So when someone next asks, you know what to tell them. thanks for all ypur help.
