Converting 1920x1078 video to 1920x1080

[guitarmandp]

I am trying to convert a video that I have that's 1920x1078 to 1920x1080, what is the best way to do this?

[locotus]

1920/1078=1.78107
1920/1080=1.77777

[guitarmandp]

How do I do the conversion? This is the only way I can join these two files together is if I somehow figure out a way to up convert the 1920x1078 video to 1920 x 1080

You resize the clip or add borders to bring the 1078 line frame up to 1080. But what software you use will depend on the type of files you have (container: AVI, MPG, VOB, MP4, MKV, TS, M2TS..?) and the codecs used for the video and audio.

Can you give me the name of a program that will allow me to do this? Handbrake you can only lower the width/height

Now reread jagabo's post and answer the questions. Post a text file from MediaInfo if you don't know.

Okay I am using an MKV container and Audio is AC-3. Please let me know what program I need to bring the 1078 up to 1080.

Try RipBot264 and Baldrick's guide.

Vidcoder will do the job for you.

Not that resizing the height to 1080 would stretch the picture much, but if you cropped 2 pixels from the left and 2 pixels from the right and then resized to 1920x1080, that would distort the picture even less. Vidcoder should let you do that.

Add line from top and bottom... best from video quality perspective - scaling with this kind of ratio 1080/1078 is insane.

Resizing will lose a little quality. Reencoding will lose a little quality. And it's a waste of time just to have one file instead of two.
