Is it necessary to change to 16:9 at the aspect ratio under "Video" tap if KVCD is to be viewed at 16:9 TV set? What about "video arrange method"?

Leave the aspect set to 4:3 in TMPEG's Video tab. All VCD's are coded as output aspect of 4:3.

Hmm...

I encoded ToyStory2 with the following settings:

KVCDx2-CQ-704x480-(NTSCFilm)-1CD template
video stream aspect ratio = 16/9 525 line (NTSC)
video source aspect ratio = 16/9 525 line (NTSC)
video source arrange method = Full screen (keep aspect 2)
no cropping!

The results on my Panny RP-56 & Panny CT-34WX50 produced a perfect 16x9 picture with no black bars\distortions\stretching\clipping.

Is there a better way to achieve the same result?

There can be problems on certain players on 4:3 TV sets.

Eg. bevore I did an firmware update of my Yamakawa 715 player 16:9 encoded (S)VCD were displayed at 4:3 and my TV set cant be forced to 16:9 .... now It sorta works. If I insert an 16:9 DVD first I will get the correct aspect ratio on the VCD... even weird resolutions like mentioned in my last thread.
Drawback in 16:9 encoding is the considerably bigger filesize compared to 4:3 with black bars.

If you only have an 16:9 TV set and still can get your films on the desired ammount of CD-Rs youre at the optimum.
