hi,
I'm looking for a video tool for mac os x(free if possible) that gives me the possibility to crop 4:3 or 16:9 without unscaling the image that would just add black bars to the video and keep the aspect ratio.
thing is i wanna burn a video onto dvd but when i use ffmpegx and put it 16:9 720x480 to create a video_ts it screws up the scaling and doesnt crop, it enlages the image to fit the frame.
it could be a tool in a more complete video program or a simple application that does only that.
i googled and i read many forums but i haven't found a way to do this

Submerge should do this. I use it and it will add the black bars necessary to pad "black" above and below the exiting video. I then can export as I need.
I do not do DVDs any more so I can't guarantee results. However, the app is free to download and test and, IIRC, only cost $10 once I found it would do what I needed. -
submerge is only good for playstation 3, xbox apple tv ipod and iphone
it's of no use for dvd players. unless theres a work around i dont see on their website. -
If you use the "Force X:X Aspect Ratio" commands, it will add a black background of the appropriate size (based upon which of the commands you choose). This may be saved as a QT Movie and then dropped into whatever you use to encode/author. You don't actually have to "export" to any of the devices you mentioned.
