    That's VIDEO section.
    What about the PICTURE section?
    Cos yesterday, when I've tried to convert 2.35:1 movie to MKV, the outcome is become 720x480.
    I used STRICT. Crop: AUTOMATIC. H264. Constant Quality. Is that wrong?
    NO average bit rate ... NO target size.

    NTSC DVD is 720x480. If it is 2.35:1 film, then it will just be letterboxed.

    If that so ... how can I have the same display size as the original (2.35:1) file?

    I can't really tell you how to do it in Handbrake. I don't use it.

    What I do is process the video with avisynth and x264 and output as anamorphic video (16:9). The output device will then display the image with non-square pixels which will have the same display size.

    I do something like this:

    DGIndex + DGdecode to index and serve the video to avisynth, TIVTC to inverse telecine

    movie.avs
    Code:
    MPEG2Source("movie.d2v",cpu=3)
    TFM()
    Tdecimate()
    x264 commandline (--sar flag is for setting anamorphic display sizes, 40:33 = 16:9 DVD video / 10:11 = 4:3 DVD video):
    Code:
    x264 --crf 19 --sar 40:33 --tune film -o movie.264 movie.avs
    Then you need to mux the audio (which you can demux using DGIndex) with the video. I don't use MKV so I don't really have a recommendation there. I mux with mp4box personally.

    My mp4box muxing looks like this:
    Code:
    mp4box -add movie.264:fps=23.976 -add movie.ac3 movie.mp4
    can also do aac instead of ac3

    Based on article that I read (forgot the resource), it said 0.9.5 is not a stable version. So, I un-install 0.9.5 and have 0.9.4 installed, and tried to convert VIDEO_TS folder's 2.35:1 VOB to MKV, with the following settings:
    * Profile: High Profile.
    * Anarmophic: Custom

    Based on article that I read (forgot the resource), it said 2.35:1's height is only 480. So, 480*2.35=1.128 and left the 720*480 default remains unchanged => un-checked the Keep Ratio Aspect => adjust the value of Display Width, PAR Height, and PAR Height until I obtained Display size: 1.128 * 480.
    * Crop: Automatic
    * Output: H264

    * Constant Quality: 70%
    * Audio: AAC 160kbps

    Dear expert ... is my Settings is right? Please help me to analyst.

    Ok, I found that I had installed Handbrake back in January 2011 to troubleshoot something for someone else. It was a version of 0.9.5, which seems to work fine.

    These are the settings that I had to use in order to get the correct anamorphic settings:
    Profile: High is fine. This doesn't affect how the output file displays.
    Anamorphic: Custom
    Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio
    Display width = 854
    Crop = Custom (0,0,0,0)

    Your Picture tab in Handbrake should look like attached image.

    I used a clip from Dexter to test these settings out. It shows up as a Aspect Ratio of 2.35:1 according to MediaInfo even though it is a 16:9 show. Don't totally understand that. Perhaps your file is also flagged as 2.35:1?

    With a correctly flagged show, you should able to get away with the default settings for MKV/High Profile and get the proper aspect ratio display (I tried a clip of Torchwood which was flagged as 16:9 and worked fine with Size set to Loose/16 and auto crop).

    Anyhow, you should see two different Aspect Ratios for DVD video. Either 4:3 or 16:9. Even if the video that is stored on the DVD is a 2.35:1 movie, it will still be on one of those (usually 16:9). You don't want to adjust the display width to 1128. That will end up stretching the video. 480*16/9 = ~854. 480*4/3 = 640.

    it depends - on a dvd 2.35 is stored as 16/9 with hard encoded top and bottom black borders. if you leave the borders then 854x480 is fine. if you crop off the black borders then 854x360 is more likely to be what you want.

    Agreed. That is why I specified setting Crop to 0,0,0,0.

    What about the Constant Quality? Is it remains default & unchanged?
    I see you've done it by using 0.9.5 ... is it NO problem? How you compared it with 0.9.4?
    Or my because my setting is wrong? And it caused the previous result the decrease in picture sharpness? Maybe!
    OK! I will give it myself a tried.
    Thank you for the guidance

    The quality setting is up to you. I use CRF=19 with x264 (same setting in 0.9.5). Don't remember what that correlates to with 0.9.4 (I think it is actually closer to 60%, i.e. lower than what you used). I didn't do any comparison to 0.9.4 or really any visual comparison at all. I was just trying to get the display output correct. The quality settings are really a personal choice. You need to do some test encodes with different types of clips and decide for yourself what setting to use.

    If you are really interested in adjusting picture quality, then you would be better off learn avisynth over using Handbrake. If you are interested in ease of use, just find a Constant Quality metric that you are happy with and use it. Handbrake has its own forums as well that you should consider posting on with more detailed questions.

    Why K-Lite's and WMP's properties provides different information?

    Does WMP provides the ORIGINAL file Bitrate and Picture Size?
    * If NOT, is there a software out there to read those information? Please recommend, only if any.

    Thank you.

    You can use MediaInfo to read the header information in the files or Gspot to get information on the actual video/audio itself (sometimes the header info doesn't match what is actually contained in the various video containers). I normally just use MediaInfo myself.

    Based on article that I read (forgot the resource), it said 2.35:1's height is only 480. So, 480*2.35=1.128 and left the 720*480 default remains unchanged => un-checked the Keep Ratio Aspect => adjust the value of Display Width, PAR Height, and PAR Height until I obtained Display size: 1.128 * 480.
    * Crop: Automatic
    * Output: H264

    * Constant Quality: 70%
    * Audio: AAC 160kbps

    Dear expert ... is my Settings is right? Please help me to analyst.
    Ok, I found that I had installed Handbrake back in January 2011 to troubleshoot something for someone else. It was a version of 0.9.5, which seems to work fine.
    These are the settings that I had to use in order to get the correct anamorphic settings:
    Profile: High is fine. This doesn't affect how the output file displays.
    Anamorphic: Custom
    Uncheck Keep Aspect Ratio
    Display width = 854
    Crop = Custom (0,0,0,0)

    Your Picture tab in Handbrake should look like attached image.
    I used a clip from Dexter to test these settings out. It shows up as a Aspect Ratio of 2.35:1 according to MediaInfo even though it is a 16:9 show. Don't totally understand that. Perhaps your file is also flagged as 2.35:1?
    With a correctly flagged show, you should able to get away with the default settings for MKV/High Profile and get the proper aspect ratio display (I tried a clip of Torchwood which was flagged as 16:9 and worked fine with Size set to Loose/16 and auto crop).
    Anyhow, you should see two different Aspect Ratios for DVD video. Either 4:3 or 16:9. Even if the video that is stored on the DVD is a 2.35:1 movie, it will still be on one of those (usually 16:9). You don't want to adjust the display width to 1128. That will end up stretching the video. 480*16/9 = ~854. 480*4/3 = 640.

    I follow your tutorial ... and the results is good ... thank you.
    *** And it proves that my setting caused a problem to occurs.

    But the convertion current problem is:
    1 of my VIDEO_TS is not converted entirely (based on Handbrake's information, both contains more than an hour) ... but it converted only 9 minutes less. Why? Is there an error with VIDEO_TS contains?
    So, I've tried FormatFactory to give it a check ... and it convert entirely with the poor result.
    Would you mind for guidance me?
    Is there someone can help?

    You really don't give enough information that anyone can help. Have you tried downloading a trial copy of VideoRedo and processing the video using QuickStream Fix to fix any timestamp issues? That is a possible cause of your problems.

    Absolutely SORRY ... I'm a newbie to "how to make an MKV/AVI/MP4/etc." I don't know what kind of information should be given related to my problem, I don't know from where the information shall be derived, HandBrake and AVIdemux, both are software, which I recognized by NOT more than 60 days. I never ever know about VideoReDo before. I just used FormatFactory just to convert FLAC to WAV only. Not more than that.
    OK, I follow your guidance ... today, the trial version of VideoReDo has been downloaded to my computer. Now, what should I do? How to using QuickStream Fix to fix any timestamp issues that I had?
    Please guide me ...
    Thank you.

    File --> Open DVD Folder (or something like that)
    Drive to the VIDEO_TS folder of interest and click Open
    It should pop up another menu that shows the various program streams in the DVD. You should be able to highlight the largest one. Click OK
    Then on the next window you can click Start QuickStream Fix (away from computer, don't know exact wording)
    It will output a single mpg file with the video stream. Open that file in handbrake for conversion.

    OK! Will give it a try tonight.
    Cos right now, I'm in the office.
    The file was in home and will report the results tomorrow.
    Thank you for the guidance.

    Dear txporter,
    I installed VideoReDo on my 2 PCs. Vista SP2 and XP SP2. I run your process (according to your guidance). But Windows Pop-Up a warning messages, which said: VideoReDo was counted an ERROR and needs to be Shut down immediately ... why?
    Please help ...

    Previously, I convert the VOB file with 854*480 (your guidance) ... but after I found the following URL: http://pacoup.com/2011/06/12/list-of-true-169-resolutions/ ... so, I've tried to re-convert the VOB with 736*414 (since I unable to increase it's height to 486) which said to be TRUE 16:9's size. And the conversion file results more better ... why? How can it be? It should be the same, right?

    No idea. You can get help from the VideoRedo forums.

    Not sure what you are saying. You like the results of the file that has a framesize of 736x414? In what way? Perhaps whatever resizer you used sharpened or softened the image to your liking. Better is always in the eye of the beholder. You will need to find settings that you like and go with them. We can't tell you what YOU like, but can provide some guidance on how to get there if you are clear.

    As far as all of this work to get exact 16:9 dimensions...I think you are spending too much time fretting about it. Down rezing the image from 720x480 (anamorphic) to 736x414 will lose detail. 854x480 is close enough to 16:9 that you will be unable to tell the slight distortion that will exist.

    It sounds like you are now able to get the proper display aspect for your videos. Now, you need to figure out what settings best give you what you want from the conversion. We really can't do that for you.

    Hopefully the folks at VideoRedo can provide the help to get their program running for you.

    Sorry! The problem maybe caused by a WRONG click ...
    Don't forget I'm a newbie only, right?

    Yesterday I follow the QSF.pdf instruction and do QuickStream Fix ... Tools > QuickStream Fix > Input, Select Stream, Output, Start Quick Fix ... it works, but it do 1-VOB only ... Within VIDEO_TS folder I have multiple VOBs. Accordance to the guide, it should processed multiple VOB. When I press Select Stream button, it just displayed 1 option only.
    Is there something wrong?

    The strange thing is, the QuickStream Fix results a MPG file, the file is 100% good ... much more better than any Video Conversion's software that I ever used.
    HOW CAN IT BE?

    You need to use Open DVD Folder like I mentioned above. That will parse the DVD structure to build together the entire video rather than just the VTS chunk. It has QuickStream Fix built into the merge of DVD pieces to a single mpg file.

    I know that your guide makes it has QuickStream Fix built into the merge of DVD pieces. But everytime I follow the guide, my screen will display:
    VideoReDo.exe encountered an ERROR and required to be clos immediately ... why?
    What VideoReDo that I should use? I used VideoReDo TV-Suite H264. Is it a wrong software?
    Thank you.

    Yesterday I tried to convert the film by using DVD Ripper. The available option was H264 in AVI (No MKV), and the result is much more better than my HandBrake.

    What I said is based on what my computer's process results only. I never say HandBrake was not good.
    Maybe there is something wrong with my computer. Cos I'd tried to convert the same file with the same settings of my friend.
    Both used Vista and FactoryFormat ... with mine's CPU is better and RAM is bigger.
    The provided results from his computer is GOOD. But my results is ABSOLUTELY POOR ... and VERY VERY POOR.
    At first, I guess my computer was infected, so I tried a various Portable AV, but scan NOTHING.
    If somebody has any recommendation, please give me a help
    .

    But I don't know how to set the Output's Frame Size and Output's Bitrate.
    Would you mind to doing a favor for giving me a guide ...
    Thank you.
