making Anamorphic SVCDs -non DVD source
Here is my question, and I know someone will understand it, though some probably won't.
My ONE question: How can I create my own anamorphic SVCDs of TV shows that I've recorded? (exposition) I've read the "Amazing thread" regarding anamorphic 16x9 vs 4x3, but DVDs sources were discussed in that thread - I understand that an anamorphic picture is really a 'squashed' picture in 4x3 that a widescreen TV will 'stretch' horizontally to a 16x9 ratio (there's a one-sentence explanation of anamorphic!) Anyway, my source is going to be broadcast TV! Full disclosure of what equipment I am using: Ati ALL-IN-WONDER 128 (I plan on buying the AIW RADEON 8500) I have Adobe Premiere (is this applicable?) I have ULead's Video Studio 3 (came with one of my AIWs) I have Nero 5.?? that came with my CDRW So far, I've experimented with TMPGEnc and SmartRipper I have a SONY DVD 5-changer (I may need to buy a new one for SVCD playback) and finally, I have a Mitsubishi 55" widescreen HDTV for viewing the final SVCD My video source will hopefully be brand new hour-long TV shows like maybe Enterprise, 24, Charmed, Nova, Gilmore Girls (to name a few ), a well as some old VHS recordings of rare shows like The Misfits of Science, Shadow Warriors (Sonny Chiba), Xena - or enter your own 'oddball' TV shows here... To convert these 4x3 pictures to 16x9, I figure I could cut off most of their feet, and a little bit of headroom to the top of their heads. I would then somehow ?? re-encode the MP2 into anamorphic SVCD. Any help or tips would be appreciated..., even ALL-IN-WONDER tips, or other FAQ/Guides to direct me to. (like I said, I've read the "amazing" thread explaining anamorphic DVDs which is what inspired my question.) Thanks! (PS - I have even crazier ideas than this!) |
