Can you correct Mpeg2 aspect ratio

[jfdkiller]

I'm sure this must have been asked before but I can't find the answer through searching.

I have a mpeg2 file NTSC 480*480. It's a 16*9 that's been encoded to fullscreen I guess. I.E. no black borders just tall thin people. Is there a way for me to re-encode to the correct aspect ratio.

I have tried playing with a small sample but have had no luck.

Any pointers appreciated.

I have the same problem also. I've been searching the forums all night and can't really find what i'm looking for. Don't know the calculations for the add border.

the NTSC mpeg2 source will be resized on TV to 640x480 (4:3) while playing back. 640/(16:9)=360, so just create a avisynth script containing following lines:

...
BicubicResize(480,360)
Addboards(0,60,0,60)
