Please help need to re-encode for viewing on standalone

[dave69w]

I have an svcd file that the:

Aspect Ratio is - 16:9
Frame Rate is - 25.000 fps
Video Type is - PAL
Frame Type is - Progressive

not sure if all this is need to help but oh well.

I would like to re-encode this video as an svcd but so that it is NTSC. I have tried many things. I have tried Machine514's guide which is on this site and it doesn't work properly. My problem is that after it is re-encoded the video is compressed horizontally. When I watch the video that is still PAL on my computer it has the 2 black bars on the top and bottom. I have tried burning and playing on my standalone after it is re-encoded but it is still squished. I have been playing around with the aspect ratio to encode to but have not found one that has solved my problem.

If someone could possible help me out I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Dave

try 4:3 Aspect Ratio...I had the exact same problem on an NTSC VCD earlier today when I tried to do 16:9. It looked fine for me once I changed that...
