Problems with 16:9 Format

[kipi]

Hi,
I have a movie in anamorphic 16:9 format 1.85:11. This movie fills up the entire screen on my widescreen tv when played from a dvd. As I understand it I am able to encode this movie as a KVCD in 4:3 format and get my tv to automatically format the picture so that no borders are visible.

I am using the optimal dvd script and have added source_anamorphic=true in gripcrop. Then I set the source aspect ratio to 16:9 in tmpgenc and the output aspect ratio to 4:3. When I look at the movie on my tv I still get thick borders and the picture is not automatically formatted although the aspect ratio is set to auto on the tv. Am I doing something wrong or is this the correct behaviour?

The error is there !

For tmpgenc, the source isz the avs script, right ? And the avs script provide a 4:3 picture. So the source A/R is 4:3, not 16:9.

Oh, I thought the avs-script did not convert the original aspect ratio. I will try with 4:3 as source and destination ratio. Thanks for the help!
