16:9 / 4:3 / Widescreen /anamorph?

[unclefu]

Hi, ive got the problem that the rip (Like in the VCDHELPER manual )
is vertically compressed, how must TMPGenc be configured to
to correcct this and show it in the widescreen?

or is there a possibility to configure the VCD so that the players will play the anamorph video the right way?

if you are encoding a VCD from an anamorphic movie/dvd-rip (16:9, no letterboxing) for final display on a 4:3 NTSC TV, TMPGEnc settings should be:

Advanced Tab
- Source Aspect Ratio = 16:9 Display
- Video Arrange Method = Full Screen (keep aspect ratio)

Video Tab
- Aspect Ratio = 4:3 525 line (NTSC)


remember - getting the correct aspect ratio on playback depends on the source/input AND the output settings.
