The green bar is probably part of the video. Mask it out.

[hypnoticpimp]

no its not part of the video. cause when i play in VLC media player. the original video it doesnt show the green bar. but when i try to edit the video with tmpgenc. when i load it . it shows that green bar

I just noticed that the frame dimensions reported at the bottom of your image is 740x480. In general video should be mod16, not mod4. Crop it down to 720x480 if you're making a DVD. Or 736x480 if you're making something that doesn't require 720.

Having problems converting this mov video on tmpgenc

ok look at the screenshot





if you notice it says 720 x 480 thats the orginal video size. I dont know how to mask like you say

Also when i convert the video . the video doesnt fill up the player it shows alot of black borders heres a screenshot of what i mean



its suppose to fill up the player nicely like this




what can i do to fix this so that green bar goes away and the video fills up player when its converted on TMPPGENC

please give me exact instructions. Cause i dont know how to mask on TMPGENC

I don't have the newer TEMGEnc tools but in the older TMPGEnc Plus you would do this:

First tell TMPGEnc you source aspect ratio is 16:9 Display or 16:9 525 line NTSC. Make sure Video Arrange Method is set to Full Screen. Then tell it you want 16:9 Display output.

To mask the green bar go to Clip Frame (looks like it's Picture Crop in your version) and use the tool to remove the green bar. Elect to Mask instead of Crop:

[jagabo]

Without knowing the exact properties of your source it's hard to say exactly what you should do. Post a MediaInfo report of the source video.

If your source is 720x480 with 10:11 PAR NTSC 4:3 (from the second image) then try setting your output aspect ratio to the same value. Or resize the source to 640x480 (a 4:3 frame size ratio) and use square pixel encoding.

any help? i tried changing output to match the source. but still nothing

[Alex_ander]

i tried changing output to match the source.

It is also important to have correct import settings in Clip Properties/Clip settings tab. They should match actual parameters of your source ('AR': NTSC 4:3).
Also look into the settings of Resize filter: by default it is on with 'keep AR' checked. Is your source letterboxed? If it originally fills the screen, use 'full screen' in dropdown. Finally test results of resizing in 'Encode' window ('Display output preview' button).

Some players don't respect PAR/DAR flags in WMV files.
