There is the problem. Default is to use "false" for target.
Do you you that on purpose ? For all your KVCD ?

Note: is your source anamorphic ? sure about that ?

when it plays on my dvd it does not play like a widescreen with big black lines but little black lines on the top and bottom and moviestacker 2.00 beta says the scorce is anamorphic and ITU-R BT.601-4 are checked

Set the DESTINATION to non anamorphic in moviestacker (uncheck the "anamorphic" box of the target.
Or just put manually "false" to dest_anamorphic, in the gripcrop line, insteed of "true".

will do thanx Phil :D

i encoded the movie and it seems like it's missing some frames (like a picture show). Also when i mux with bbmpeg is knoch matrix (Intra.mtr and Non-Intra.mtr) already encoded or do i have to put it manualy like it is done atuomaticly in dvd2svcd cause the bbmpeg guide left those blank?

The matrix embed with multiplexing are basically not used so you can let them blank.

thanx Phil so what about the slidshow playback? like the camera moves and instead of smooth movement it is choppy. i also bumped the max bitrate to 2500 instead of 1800 (is that the problem?)

Choppy movement are sometimes related to MIN bitrate, not MAX. Try to use a upper value for MIN. You can let MAX to 2500 with no problem.

i used the 352x240 template and keeped every thing defalt but the max bit rate and left the low bitrate its at 300 . i never had a problem with the choppyness with the low bitrate at 300 but i did leave the max biterate at 1800.

is anamorphic between wide screen and full screen because i just burned the matrix it was not wide screen and i was streched out (long faces) with medium sized bars on the top and bottom. so what do i do? Phil help!!!Anyone!!!

I do not understand anything to your question so please explain better.

i encoded a movie and it was not wide screen like it was supposed to be it was like they had coneheads. how do i fix this? the source is wide screen.

Okay. Just copy the script you used ehre and I will tell you what you can modify to fix the problem.

thanx Phil. here it is

You tell yourself that the source is widescreen and you don't see where should be the thing to change ?

Hum... source_anamorphic = true... 8)

so for wide screen movies it should be just
Gripcrop(352, 240,overscan=1,source_anamorphic=true)

you can even remove the "source_anamorphic' part as "true" is assume by default.
