Converting wide screen avi (divx) to vcd mpeg...

[Xtreme2k2]

Ok, I'm using Panasonic MPEG1 Encoder 2.51 Standalone.

The wide screen movie is at 640x272, and a vcd mpeg is supposed to be 352x240, what are the settings so that when i encode it to mpeg with vcd standard settings it will still be in full screen, and not with some screwed up picture

really i have no idea how to do that with tmpge but i want to know someone please tell the man..or girl
anyways the few times i had to do that i used eo video and checked the maintain aspect ratio box but i takes hour and hour and after that more hours to encode to mpeg so if u do use that option encode it to
the right size avi and then use tmpge (or your fav program) to convert to mpg
just remember click the maintain aspect ratio option
hopefully someone replys with a better faster way because im looking for one so my dvd rips
hello hello???? anyone know how to maintain aspect ratio in tmpge or any other vog compatible program that can make vcd mpeg???

Oh wait! I guess I overlooked this when I was looking at the AVI to MPG guide for Panasonic MPEG1 Encoder 2.5, "if you have a DivX-movie you often have to add black borders to get correct ratio" -as quoted from the guide....

the url for the guide is: http://www.vcdhelp.com/panasonic.htm

btw, if u need Panasonic MPEG1 Encoder 2.5 (standalone), PM me, I'll hook you up
