Get 544x408 video size

[tortellini100]

How can I get a video with the size of 544x408?
The video that I record at the television have the size of 544x576, so the better resize is 544x408 (4:3), but AutoGK converts my video with the size of 544x416 (with the fixed width of 544).

Thanks.

Hi-

AutoGK uses Mod16 resizing (heights divisible by 16), as it should. Because MPEG encoding works with blocks of 16, you get better compression that way. I'm quite certain that your video comes out with a good Aspect Ratio, even if, perhaps, it also crops a few pixels into the video.

If the video compressiblity allows it, you might try a fixed width of 576, in which case you should come out with 576x432 (4:3).

It is not possible to use Mod8 with any hidden options?

All I see in the Hidden Options is crop overrides, not resize overrides. So the answer is no. You haven't said exactly why you must have 544x408. I think if it's that important to you, you'll have to use the full Gordian Knot to get it.

But again, I don't recommend you do it. Maybe this Sticky will help explain:

Start reading about 1 1/2 screen heights down from the top, the paragraph beginning, "We frequently get questions about not being able to hit the desired resolution."

In your opinion, it is better increase the resolution at 576*432 or decrease the resolution at 512*384?

Thanks.

Hi-

Well, it kind of depends on the results of the compression test that AutoGK runs. If the results were good enough when you set a fixed width of 544, then 576x432 would definitely be better. If you're not sure how to interpret the log, then maybe post it here. Or you could leave the Resolution Settings on Auto and let AutoGK decide on the best resolution for you.
