Gripcrop: When to use Source_Anamorphic=True
I have encoded downloaded divX files, video captures from VHS, video captures from SatTV, and home movies in DV format. I always use Source_Anamorphic=false, and everything turns out great.
I'm just curious... can someone tell me when I should ever use Source_Anamorphic=True? Thanks, Icarus |
I think that should be used when the source is widescreen format. I don't know how it works with letterboxed films though. Basically it's just to keep the correct aspect ratio (no egg heads etc.)

Hypothetically, what if I am encoding a divX avi that comes from an anamorphic DVD source. How would I know by looking at the divX file whether or not I need to encode as anamorphic? OR, since it is a divX file will it NEVER be anamorphic?
Thanks, Icarus |
Usualy people that encode divx never did it as anamorhic.
An anamorphic material is easy to identify : your player tells you that it has a 4/3 image ratio but when you play it, all the people are "streched" (giving them a "conehead"). And magic : if you force the player to adapt the ratio to 16/9, all people in the film turn to normal. That is was anamophism is ! Encode a 16/9 picture into a 4/3 image ratio by steching it vertically. It is used basicaly on movie in theater to use all the area on the film. |
