DVD video image is a bit stretched after convertion.

[keregioz]

I converted an .avi video to DVD using AVI2DVD and CCE encoder.
The original video was wide screen format (576x240). The resulting DVD video however is a little stretched vertically.
How can i convert the avi to DVD without this happening?

Use FitCD and avisynth to feed correctly resized video to CCE for encoding.

I'm assuming you're converting to Full D1 (720 x 480 or 576) ?

Are you in PAL land or NTSC land ?

PAL.

When is a file considered "correctly resized"? The original's video image size seems fine to me.

Also i can't get avisynth to work with avi2dvd.

I wouldn't. I would just feed the avs file into CCE, configure CCE for the encode, and let it go. That's how I do mine. FitCD will give you and avisynth script that outputs a correctly sized video at full d1 resolution, ready for encoding. If AVI2DVD didn't get it right the first time, why put it in the middle again ?

Ahhhh yes, but your DVD player will want you to conform to DVD-Video specifications and the original's video image size is not DVD-compliant. Used properly, FitCD will give you a script which resizes to a DVD-compliant frame size whilst retaining the correct aspect ratio.

I wanted to use avi2dvd because is very easy to add sbutitles.
When using CCE directly i get a .mpv file.... what do i do with it to make it DVD?
