Can a widescreen DVD be encoded to full screen?

[catback]

Hi,

I have a widescreen movie (16:9 AR) that I would like to encode to full screen (4:3 AR) at 320x240 resolution. I'm encoding to such a small resolution because the file will be played on a handheld device that only supports this resolution. I would like to have the video fill the entire screen, hence the 4:3 AR.

Is this conversion possible using AutoGK? I used the fixed width setting at 320 in the standard input screen and then using the hidden settings, I checked the option to force a 4:3 AR. However, the final encode always results in a 320x176 file.

If your source is NTSC 16:9 (720x480)
then what you do is

leave everything default, the only thing you should do is crop 90 pixels from both left and right, then resize to 320x240 you'll get 4:3.

I have no experience with autoGK, I use GK, is there a way to force it to resize to 320x240 in autoGK?
You must force the height to be 240 because I'm using simple calculation for AR, not following ITU standards

You will need to enter the hidden controls (Ctrl + F9) and tune the autocrop parameters (check the autocrop box) so that the height and width cropped = 4:3. Did you want to keep the black bars and have the full widescreen video in 320 x 240, or crop the letterboxing away entirely to have the screen filled with video?
