I have extracted a VOB file and was transcoding section of it. The movie is 16:9 but using either an AVS script or bringing the D2V project directly into TMPEGEnd, the output is always 4:3, stretching the image.

I have looking in the KVCD template in TMPEGEnc changing "Source Aspect Ratio" and "Aspect Ratio" to 16:9, but it doesnt help.

Have I missed somethign obvious??!!

Thanks

Thanks very much!! Knew I had missed something obvious!!! I will go and kick myself now

There is no diff between putting "source_anarmophic=true" or not as this is the default value that Gripcrop assume when the paremeter is not present.

An avisynth script ALWAYS gives a 4:3 picture. Anamorphic picture ARE 4:3 ! Your source IS 4:3 16:9 picture does not exists. There a re 16:9 TV set but not 16:9 picture (except for avi, but this is an other story).

What do you want ? An anamorphic output (like the souce) or a letterboxed one ?

Thanks for the clarification here. It was a letterboxed film I wanted. Adding the

source_anarmophic=true

actually letterboxed the mpg. What setting would you recommend?

What you used is supposed to generate a letterboxed mpeg so you shouldn't have any problem
Check the output A/R under tmpgenc, it must be in 4:3. And the video arrangement method on "center".
