Mediacoder - Letter box / Crop to resize to add subtitle ?

[kehn]

Hi bros,

I'm using MediaCoder (http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediacoderhq.com%2Findex.htm) to convert video file with the default settings:


How can I set up "Picture" to get the result like the capture below:
(with black letter box to add subtitles separated from pictures)



And, what soft can be used for batch converts with the same feature above?

I successfully converted with Virtualdub but it not support batch converts with default preset and different video format.
Is it possibly to configure Virtualdub to work with default preset?

Thanks.

Although I don't know the answer for batch converting, in the pics you've posted the AR seems off (vertically stretched). Also on a normal TV the subs will be cut off to a certain extent.

This is about how it should look:



If you want to keep the same frame size adding a few pixels of black to the bottom should fix both issues.

I've watched many Japanese Samurai movies (4:3 VHS) that were formatted to show the subs on the bottom bar. The bottom bar was as thick as the original top and bottom bars combined.
