Hi All ..

I have the following queries which in part have been answered by the very good guidance here - but I'm still a bit confused as to what I'm aiming for ....

I have a Divx wide screen moving that I'm turning into a VCD.

Not my PAL Tv (which I'm keeping for 6 months more) is NOT wide screen.

I want to produce a VCD which is the best of both worlds for my current TV and also my new wide screen TV (which I get in 6 months time) ...

The settings I have choosen in TMPGEnc are :

Aspect ratio 16:9

Video arrange method : Full screen (Keep aspect ratio)...

I think the 16:9 is right but not sure if the video arrange method should be 'Keep aspect ratio' or 'keep aspect ratio 2' any ideas ?

Also if the movie was coded wide screen I can not see how it can ever be played correctly on a non wide screen TV in full screen mode with out loosing the sides, or, without becoming over long in the vertical direction ?? Could someone please confirm this ....

thanks for your help..

Mark
