Hi folks,
I prefer to use Avisynth scripts when encoding movies, but sometimes I need to encode using TMPGEnc without using Avisynth (so using the avi as the source).
I have one big problem: keeping the good aspect ratio while resizing (and encoding).
Here's an example:
The dimensions of the movie (checked with Gspot and virtualdub) are 608x256 (2.38:1). The template I want to use is 544x480. So in TMPGEnc I open the movie, then the template. Then I click on the
'settings' button. On the 'video' tap the 'size' and 'aspect ratio' are locked and preset to
'544x480' and
'4:3 425 line (NTSC)'.
On the 'advance' tab I select
'1:1 (VGA)' for the
'Source Aspect Ratio'. For the
'Video Arrange' I select
'Center (custom size)' and fill in
'544x272' (according to the info Moviestack gives me).
Next I decode a minute from the movie (as a sample). I open the sample file with PowerDVD just to find out that my sample got a wrong aspect ratio: the height is way to small.
So I've messed around with the settings, checked the tmpgenc manual, but never found a logic sollution...
So my question is: what do I need to fill in as the source aspect ratio to maintain the original aspect ratio after decoding?
