converting divx (avi) to vcd ?

[toys42000]

how come when i use virtual dub i split the movie file in half and then i go to nero to convert to vcd. then it burns it then i go to watch it on my dvd player it is different it goes from a widescreen to a full screen and it loses its quality looks like it was streched. how can i keep it a widescreen movie if it is wide screen and a full screen movie if it is full screen?

after you cut it,does it look like the original?
me thinks that nero is converting it to full screen.
i cant use nero so i don't know what settings there are.

I'd imagine nero is converting the file to 4:3 format rather than retaining the 16:9 screen ratio. Try using TMPGEnc to do the converting prior to burning in nero. You will need to adjust the settings in TMPGEnc to keep the widescreen settings -

MPEG Settings / Advanced / Video Arrange Method = Full Screen (Keep Aspect ratio)
