For some reason TMPG is processing my video with the length as the height, so that people people have elongated heads, etc. How do I tell it in the template to flip length with height? Thanks.

Hi Aielman ,
Are you sure about that?
How did you notice that?
In your PC screen or playing the movie in your standalone player?
If it was on the PC screen try using a player that you can control the output aspect such as VirtualDubMod.
Just load the movie in it and right click on the source window.
Now choose your target aspect 4:3 or 16:9.
Let us know if it still bugs you
Cheers

I encoded a sample of the movie and checked the mpg using mpc. I have since learned that it is apparently a regular feature of quicktime (.mov) files. I tried a search on the forum and have been reading up on how to deal with these files, but I am not getting a clear picture yet.

Hi,
Well, Aielman I'm really not an expert when it comes to quicktime sources.
The same applies to VOB sources but at least I've got some practise with it
Feel free to keep posting about it but I'm affraid I won't be of much help.
Cheers

I'm very curious to read that somewhere. I do not knwo what you are talking about but this sounds completly nut. Can you give me a link ?

For me your problem is just because you did not force your player to output a picture with the correct A/R (4:3). Almost all KVCD resolutions gives "coneheads" picture if you do not enforce the A/R during playback on your PC (on your TV set, the correct A/R is restored automatically).

This has nothign to do with format of sources !

I did a search on this forum and on the videohelp forum using the keywords 'quicktime' and '.mov to mpeg'. You yourself have answered a user's question regarding encoding a quicktime file using tmpgenc. In that same thread, Incredible responded that an avisynth solution is the following script:

Quote:
LoadVFAPIPlugin("path to QTreader","QTreader)
QTREader("path to movie.mov")
ChangeFPS(fps)
Flipvertical()
The reason for the flipvertical is to force the movie to be encoded in the correct A/R, and I only figured that out when I encoded a sample of the movie directly in TMPGenc and found that the encoded mpg file played with the height and length reversed. I always encode in TMPG with 4:3 AR, as you recommended. For reasons I am still trying to figure out, TMPGenc keeps giving me errors when I try using the above script on top of your DialhotV4. That is why I asked if there was a way to flip directly in tmpg rather than with a script.

You should read the avisynth manual once in your life !

Code:
FlipVertical (clip)

FlipVertical flips the video upside-down. Useful for dealing with broken video codecs.
Nothing to do with A/R...

This is completly impossible. And I do mean my words. Do a snapshot please if you can.

What is the error reported by tmpgenc ? (you perhaps already said it...)
