Weird question about frames

[aejr]

Is it possible to put a movie whether avi or mpeg of some sort, into a frame then burned to dvd? Reason I am asking is because I have completed a project and the clarity is pretty good, but looks really good not quite full screen. Problem is when I burn it to dvd it always shows up in full screen. Is there any way around this?

You could use AVISynth to "frame" your video, by adding borders, then encode. For example, if your video is 360x240 and you want it to play on your TV at half size. You could use AVISynth to add 180 pixels border to the left and to the right and 120 pixles border to the top and bottom. You can chose most any color you like in AVISynth for the border (e.g., black, grey, etc.)

I'm at work right now and don't have access to AVISynth command list syntax but the script would go something like this,

AviSource("[full_path]/[filename].avi")
AddBorders(w1,h1,w2,h2)

Thanks I'll look into it!

You can also use LAYER, MASK and OVERLAY to make your frame look like whatever you want (like a real frame, etc.).
