Hello, and welcome to the forum-

I'm sorry, but I can make no sense of that at all (but maybe it's just me). As far as I know, anamorphic DVDs are by definition 16:9. Are you saying you have a widescreen 4:3 DVD?

Anyway, I might suggest you reword it. Use 4:3 or 16:9 for the DAR, and such terms as 1.33:1, 2.35:1, or widescreen and fullscreen when referring to the AR of the movie. Maybe Doom9's article will help explain it:

Maybe FitCD (http://shh.sysh.de/fitcd.html) will help you with the resizing.

And I guess your destination format is also DVD?

thanks fo u´re answer...

i have a dvd from a film i made (i´m a kameraman)
when i see the film on a dvd-player i see a compressed picture on a 4:3 tv, so i use the butten 16:9 and its a normal unsqueesed picture 16:9

on my pc with powerdvd its the same prob...

1. i like to edit some parts of it for a showreel
2. i like to copy the film for other directors...

it would be great to have it in an verrycompatible format...

what i´m trying now...

1. virtualdub...resize...frameserv...recompress with procoder
- here i get a 4:3 letterboxpicture
2. load the vob´s in womble and export to real 16:9
- here i get real 16:9 not anamorphotic i think?

also the sound is ac3 only in 2. i think its no prob

...evry process take so many time...

is there anny other better more easy way?

...the prob i think is that the person how made the dvd made a mistake cause my dvd-player did´nt notice that it is an anamorphotic dvd. i have no prob´s with bought dvd´s

maybe u understand now better my prob

the dvd is 4:3 anamorph progressive 704x576 PAL


so maybe the dvd is DAR 4:3 and should be 16:9? can i just change the flag???


thanks for u´re time and helping

Yes, you can just change the flag with IfoEdit.
