I downloaded a movie (great quality) but when i made it into a VCD the quality sucked. it was stretched. is there some way to set the aspect to widescreen or something before i burn it? i have that option on my dvd player but it doesnt work for vcds.

whats the aspect ratio of the downloaded movie?

you should be able to select the source and change the ratio with tmpgenc.

In TMPGENC just load one of the templates, PAL or NTSC VCD

You can go to the settings > Advanced > Clip frame
From there you can experiment, but if you chose "Full screen" (Streached) this will remove the borders, but at the same time you will loose part of the picture. Its better to leave it at "Full screen keep aspect ration" with a wide screen TV you can zoom them out.

the movie i downloaded was a widescreen aspect but when i was watching it on my tv it became a tv aspect which stretched the people. can anyone tell me how to make it so it shows widescreen on my tv so it looks the same way it was when i downloaded it. (step by step). THANKS

Are you trying to say that you want the movie to appear (on your TV) with black borders at the top and bottom i.e in widescreen? If this is the case:

load your original movie (the one you downloaded) into TMPGEnc

load your template

click setting

click the advanced tab

change the 'source aspect ratio' to 1:1 (VGA)

change 'video arrange method' to full screen (keep aspect ratio)

voila!

I think... You think you can make widescreen movies on a VCD, you can't thats why the borders are there to keep the aspect ratio, and provent the movie from being streched. On a widescreen TV you can zoom and it will look very good.
