I still need help with SVCD encoding.
1- I capture from DV Camcorder and I get a nice AVI 720x576, 25 fps, PAL
2- I encode it to SVCD using Ulead VS6 or TMPGEnc or others, using the appropriate SVCD templates, or XSVCD or CVD or ...
3- When watching the resulting MPEG2 movie as a Preview in my PC I see it as vertical rectangle and the images have the rigth porpotions: a circle in the AVI is a circle in the resulting mpeg2, a square in the AVI is a square in the resultin MPEG2.
4- I burn with ULEAD or NERO as SVCD compliant (or not compliant when I try XSVCD or CVD or other)
5- I play the resulting SVCD with my standalone Pioneer DV 454 and ehen watching it on my 4:3 TV it ha (as I was expecting) 2 black bars but it is shortened: the circle becomes an ellipse, the square becomes a rectangle.

So, what am I doing wrong?
Can someone help me with the appropriate configurations? It's Christmas time for everybody!!!
