this is a fairly n00b liek question I suppose but ive never really seen anything on it. I usually make my vcds the standard way of encoding to mpeg with tmpgenc on defualt liek settings I guess, pretty much self taught. Well ive noticed quality is always not as good on larger tvs. Now we just got a 50 inch and they are looking even worse the dvd rips. My question is basically is there a setting or series of things I can do to make the picture larger during encoding so that it doesnt look so strecthed?? thanks bd
