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:

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.
