thanks!!!

[Abond]

It depends.

[GangstaRap]

Abond, depends on what?
can you tell me what should i do?

[Abond]

Listen, my answer is respond to the information given in your question. If I ask for example: Is there a way to change the color?
to change the aspect ratio of WHAT? What you have to change the aspect ratio? Is it DVD, mpeg, avi, flv, jpeg, bmp - WHAT is this?
Very easy - set the player to output another aspect ratio.

Mpeg4modifier can change AR for MPEG-4 ASP video (XviD, DivX) within the avi fromat

Zoom 1.5x on playback. For DVD, IfoAR2WS can go the other way or you can use IFOedit and PGCedit. I don't know what would happen if you take a WS movie and tell your player it's FS. Can't hurt to try, let us know.

Abond, first of all - thank you for your help.
second, you right - i should explain myself better:
i have an AVI files in all kinds of aspects and i want to change it to full screen in order to watch it with full screen on my TV.

45tripp, thanx for the halp man.
i have Mpeg4modifier but i dont know how to change the aspect ratio to a full screen mode with it, can you guide me?



what should i do?

nic2k4, its an AVI file... so i guess i cant zoom it with the tools you suggested... ThanX anyway!!!

Depending on the type of file you have (AVI, MPG, WMV), you'd need a different tool.

[Abond]

I see your video in .avi is xvid mpeg4 implementation. This type is usually with square pixels. If you have 4:3 TV (that is Fullscreen) you need to check square pixels and 4:3.
And now begins the real problem. Very few DVD players with divx compatabillity will take in consideration the flags in the headers of divx files for playback. And even if your player does it you may have distorted aspect ratio that is (in my opinion) very annoying to watch.
Well, try and decide.

Soopafresh, i'm only using AVI files... wich tool do you think can help me?

Abond, yes, i did what you told me to and the movie is distorted...
what if i'll encode it with VirualDubMod and skip the Resize Filter?
is it still gonna be distorted?

i don't mind losing the borders in both sides (making something like zoom in) as long as i'll get a full screen movie.
i hate this top and bottom borders!

Thank you for your help guys!!!!

You can't. The changing of aspect ratio would involve croping and resing, there isn't other way. Beside this the encoding would decrease the quality.
You some how got to love the black borders. As guns1inger said you watch the video, not the borders.
