Hello,
I try to convert a file with screen size 720x304 from AVI (divx) to MP4. I set the Output size in the right side of the Video options tab to 720x304, the ratio to 2.35:1, and the framerate to 25 (PAL).
I use the MPEG4[.MP4] (ffmpegx) encoder. The conversion works fine unless the output size is always 533x400.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Tom

I don't get the error when I try it. What is your input source? A VIDEO_TS folder? If so, you may give Handbrake a try.

I can replicate this issue. The output resolution is 720x304 as specified (as MediaInfo Mac will confirm), but some display aspect ratio flag isn't set properly, so that the player software stretches the video to a 4:3 aspect ratio.
If I remember correctly, this will happen for every conversion to .mp4 using this engine, when the target isn't exactly 16:9 or 4:3. So for 2.35:1 output, this problem comes up, unfortunately.
It could be that the ffmpeg team has fixed this already, but ffmpegX has to be updated to work with that. I'm not holding my breath...
You can change the display aspect ratio in QuickTime Pro, but you'll end up with a .mov container.
What is really needed here, is an MP4 toolbox to change (correct) just the display aspect ratio, without altering the rest of the file. Anyone know of such a piece of software?

MP4Box can do this by setting the pixel aspect ratio to 1:1.
