Original AVI is from camcorder (DV-AVI 720x480). Played back on the PC all is fine. When encoded (xvid) the R/L side is slightly chopped off. I was informed by a reliable source to pillarbox the clip (Virtualdub); resizing to 544x480, expand frame/letterbox image to 720x480; finally to resize to 864x480. I did this and encoded with Xvid. When playbacked results were horrific; alot of stuttering/skipping, blotchy colors at bottom half of screen, no audio (mp3 128CBR) and blackbars were misaligned.
However, encoding the same DV-AVI (Output to AVI) in TMPGenc Plus the stuttering, audio problems and blotchy colors were not present but the resolution still seemed off. (I loaded DVD(NTSC).mcf and Unlock.mcf; simply changed the Aspect Ratio to 16:9 Display at the Video tab.) Instead of playing back as a 16:9 ratio, it looked more like a 4:3 but the chopped off ends displayed
My objective is to be able to playback on the standalone what the PC reveals at 720x480. Should I be converting to 16:9? The DVP642 supports this in TV Display.
I hope I've not added to "your" confusion. I'm really not sure which forum to post this to. :confused: In advance thanks for your time and support.
