Why does VLC media player squeeze my DVD Recording's Aspect Ratio?
1 Attachment(s)
Every movie I record with my JVC Dr-M100 gets squeezed horizontally by VLC. I know I can get the correct aspect ratio by manually selecting "4:3" in VLC, but how can I get VLC to read it correctly by default? Note: I'm not looking to change the settings in VLC, as it would still reproduce the problem on other people's computers.
It's not that big of a deal for me personally, but I know people who just assume the entire DVD is out of whack, or even worse, watch the entire movie with that squeezed aspect ratio! I attached a picture for reference. |

It plays correctly on MPC, but not VLC. Most people I know use VLC, that's why I'm trying to fix it.

I think that VH thread is mostly about conversion. I quickly glanced at it, saw nothing helpful to this topic.
VLC does what it wants -- AND it changes all the time. VLC has pissed me off so much in recent years that I rarely use it now. Media Player Classic (MPC) is far more accurate. It's just the way it goes. To me, it's not much different from Windows getting to be a coding abortion more than a useful OS. Some programs get better with time, some get worse. VLC is worse. |

either change this in the header or re-encode in 640x480 So let's load the VLC, V.2.2.1 ..... set anything, just "Start" Conclusion, see Screen VLC shows 352x480 correctly Whether 352x480 or 640x480 both streams are equal. testfile originally began PAL encoded with Avisynth to NTSC 1x 352 x 480 1x 640 x 480 |
Is 640 x 480 a DVD compliant resolution? I'm trying to create a DVD so I don't think resizing to that will work.

Looks like this explains the issue - http://www.videoredo.net/msgBoard/sh...ratio-vrd-vlc&
No matter what, VLC Media Player will play 352 x 480 incorrectly. My only option is to re-encode the video to 720x480. |
