Thanx phil,yeah,never noticed the avi part should be shown as mpg,so that leaves me a little stuck,this is happening with all my dvd sources in mencodeme,all my avi conversions come out fine,so now it looks like this post should go back to the mencodeme foum,why is mencodeme producing mpeg2 files that are for some reason wrong?,heres my mencodeme log

The other problem im having with mencoderme is resizing,Ive tried to create a source as a d2v and use the usual mpegsource line,the i add a resize line-
LanczosResize(512, 542, 0, 2, 720, 572)
AddBorders(104, 17, 104, 17)
but when I go to encode the resolution comes back totally wrong ie 704x576 becomes 704x612 at 4:3 and 704x816 at 16:9.any help with any of this would be greatly appreciated,as I really want to get to grips with mencodeme as its producing such great results with avis,just not with dvd sources.
