HD .tp help

[kcb]

I've tried using the pixel cropping method but that mucks up the AR i.e. streches everything. I just want to crop a little from the bottom.

i am dealing with a .tp which is 1920x1088 (NTSC). I have set both the width and height to be 800x432 and the bitrate at 2604. The problem is the W-Zoom is marked read with 111% what does that mean? After reading the tut read means that it should be lowered? I have lowered it to 704x384 and there's no reds. Is it overkill to have 800x432? i thought since the source was HD it'd benefit or does the above have to do with something else?

nevermind i have the wrong input resolution. But i have another problem if the input res is 1920x1088 and input pixel aspect ratio is: NTSC anamorphic 16:9 after i've encoded it using XVID the outputted file has the wrong aspect ratio i.e. it's wider than 16:9 and squashed any ideas?

this:

should be like:

is it ok to use the following:

instead of:

because the 2nd gives me the wrong AR (rather pointless because i'm limiting myself to 720x)480)? I'd rather get that fixed.

fixed by changing input pixel AR to 'display AR'

[SeeMoreDigital]

Is the 1920x1080 source displaying nothing but "image" pixels - ie: there are no black mattes at all?

If so, why not generate your MPEG-4 encode using 720x480 pixels and add 37:27 AR signalling afterwards?!

kcb:

I merged your 2nd thread, since it was a single post, and clearly related, into this one -- but it seems to have mucked up and jumped to the top post of this thread.
