need some help on getting the correct aspect ratio for encoding my kvcd, iv been using tmpg so far but some times the picture seems a bit squashed, i understand a lot of u guys use another program to do the video size before it goes into tmpg, what is this program and how do i use it???????

Hi khusru,

Use an avisynth script. This will always keep your correct aspect ratio.
Read here: www.avisynth.org
Also check the section here in this forum, related to optimal scripts, so you don't have to make one from scratch.
