MultiAVCHD transcode 4:3 --> 16:9?

[Ennio]

Hi everybody,

For a future project I tried re-encoding a ntsc dvd-stream with x264 in MultiAVCHD.

Input was 720 x 480 aspect ratio 4:3 (from dvd-image mounted)

In the title-properties window of MultiAVCHD it says 720 x 480i (1.78) This is 16:9 AR?

In the transcodewindow I left "Resize" to default: 720 x 480 (no change)

No uncropping.

After transcoding my output is 16:9.

I checked the original dvd VOB's with mediaInfo and it definitely says 4:3. Somehow MultiAVCHD thinks the dvd is 16:9 anamorphic, my guess. The "alter detected properties" has no possibility to change AR.

Does somebody have an idea?


Thanks

Ennio


Edit: sorted it out, I had to resize to 720 x 480 (4:3) Didn't see it. Strange though why it says 1.78 it the 1st place...
