2.5:1 Aspect Ratio

[koan]

First post, hopefully not a stupid one. I have read the guides and stuff about aspect ratio, and I am having some trouble getting this to fly.

I have an xvid avi with an ar of 2.5:1. From what I understand of anamorphic, this isn't. There aren't any borders either, it is straight 640x256.

DVD2SVCD doesn't appear to handle this ar by itself - it ends up stretched whatever I do.

I am guessing I need something to add borders to it, and I am reluctant to decompress and recompress with a resize filter in virtualdub just to add black borders.

I am using the latest bundle build, and I have TPMpeg and CCE for encoding.

Any tips?

Hi koan,

Welcome to the forum.

The current version of D2S doesn't manage itself avi AR.

In frameserver tab, check Edit the Avisynth script as part of video encoding and modify manually the resize and addborders statements
