please help me encode a video file using Tmpgenc to svcd,

[infinityfilmz]

i have a video file that is 576x240.. The image quality is awesome when on my computer, but i want to convert it and still maintain the crisp quality so i can watch it on my dvd player, but when i tryed it last time, it didn't keep the widescreen look.. Is there certain settings i have to activate using Tmpgenc in order to keep the widescreen look on my tv??

actually what is the best way to encode this without losing quality???

in TMPG, after you have loaded your file and loaded the SVCD template, click setting, and then click the advanced tab. you should see an option video arrange method, try using full screen(keep aspect ratio), you should also see source aspect ratio, try and put that at 4:3 525 line. play with those 2 settings and encode a few minutes at a time until you get it right. never try setting by encoding the whole movie, always do a test encode so you don't waste your time

I tryed it like you said, but it plays back in a little box now.. The image quality looks good however... I will try it again and mess with the settings a little more.. I will tell you what i come up with..
