Aspect Ration Problem

[HDDVD]

i am encoding an xvid. the original aspect ration is 640x272. i apply the resize filter with the settings New Width: 720, New Height: 371. Then i use and letterbox image; Frame width: 720, Frame Height: 480. then i frame serve to TMPGEnc. buy when i do the image comes out like this.



as you can see there are some black spaces at the sides of the frame. i want to get rid of that without the image being cropped.

You should keep it, to compensate for TV overscan.

Are these from TV captures or something else ??

Anyways.

You can't get rid of it without the cropping. You are best
to leave it as it is. Though you could crop it and resize, but
then you would be distorting the image yet again. But, that is
the only way, if you really are bothered by this.

My guess is that you are still new to video, else you would
have realized this and the nature of widescreen video and directors
theatrical appeal and enjoyed the movie for what it is, and
not want to fancy it another way - else would have been better to
just search for full-screen videos ..Oh well.

Anyways. Are you trying to (or wishing for) the video to have
no boarders at all, around the video frame area ??

You used FitCD to create the risize script, didn't you ?

Everyone is right, you won't see this on most TVs (although som eof the newer plasma and lcd widescreens have almost no overscan area at all.
