[SOLVED] [AviDemux] Does it support displaying 16:9?

[yetanotherlogin]

Hello,

When editing a video in AviDemux, I notice it doesn't display 16:9 videos correctly. Is it because it only supports 4:3 view playing a video?

It not a major issue, but still, is there a way to have AviDemux respect the aspect ratio when viewing a video?

Thank you.

* FWIW, here's how the video was encoded, according to MediaInfo :

Width                                    : 720 pixels
Height                                   : 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio                     : 16:9

Of course avidemux supports 16:9 display, done it many times. But that file is probably a PAL DVD source from its 720x576 dimensions and whoever encoded it didn't get the pixel aspect ratio or display aspect ratio right. You should be able to force 16:9.

AviDemux displays the source video with square pixels, pixel-for-pixel. This is so you can see your video with no scaling artifacts. The preview has nothing to do with how it saves video.

Good to know.

How do I get AviDemux to display the file as 16:9, like VLC does?

I don't think there is any way.

Too bad. Thank you.

You could use the resize filter to set a 16:9 frame size and view the output rather than the input.
