    Hey, anyone here have a Widescreen TV? can you get the burnt VCDs and SVCD's to be enhanced for Widescreen TVs? or does it only work for DVD's?

  2. You can encoded your (S)VCD's to be enhanced for widescreen TV's, but when you play them back on a normal (4:3) TV everthing will look stretched. DVD players don't seem to add the black bars when playing back anamorphic (S)VCD material like they do when when you watch an anamorphic DVD on a 4:3 TV.

    so..basicly, an Anamorphic DVD will still look great on both 4:3 T.V or 16:9 T.V. but if i encode the VCD & SVCD to fit on a 16:9 TV..it would look great, but then..it would look stretched on my 4:3 TV?

    That is that the TV compresses image to 1,77 ratio (adding black bars on top and bottom). A (S)VCD that is burnt anamorphic is to be streched horizontaly on 16:9 TV, and compressed verticaly on 4:3. For some reason the DVD palyaer does not do that automaticaly (like they do regular DVDs)

    Check if your 4:3 TV is supporting 16:9 compression.
