Incorrect "source aspect ratio"

[stubbsy]

[29/05/2006 17:41:49] Source resolution: 592x320
[29/05/2006 17:41:49] Found NTSC source.
[29/05/2006 17:41:49] Source aspect ratio: 4:3
[29/05/2006 17:41:50] Output will contain 183537 frames
[29/05/2006 17:41:50] Job finished. Total time: 21 seconds

Surely the source aspect ratio is more like 37:20 (which isn't too great) but it's nothing like 4:3 !
I already compiled once thinking "ahh maybe it just says that anyway" but no... i got a very squashed output.

any ideas?:scared:

thanks, stubbsy

Hi and welcome to the forum.

1/ Use preview to see if the preview has the "squashed aspect"
2/ Use override input Ar in hidden options (Ctrl+F9) play with it and preview again until satisfaying.
If not play with crop and override input until satisfaying.

Thanks for replying

1/ The preview has the correct AR, only the finished file is squashed.

2/ Don't know if this is even valid now, as the preview is fine, but the only option in hidden options that is checked is .colorcorrection

Then, override input/original could/should keep the aspect ratio.
