bad ar :(

[envy]

Hi there....I backed up my favorite movie, mission impossible and it came out with bad ar :( it's supposed to be 2.35:1 but was 1.85 :( can I fix it with nandub/virtualdub/virtualdubmod ?

Yes. Use the resize filter.

ok thanks mate...what tool would be best to use ? virtualdub ?

[envy]

hmm...I need to re-encode it for that right ?

[Guest]

Yes, you need to reencode to use a VirtualDub filter. Any of the VirtualDub variants can do it. We don't talk about "best" per forum rule 12.

I think it's rather easier now to just remux in mkv container. You can modify the AR however you wish in the mkvemerge options.

I take it you mean 1.78:1 instead of 1.85:1 (i.e. you forgot to add black bars and now it's fullscreen 16:9)?

You could try fixing it with mencoder, with the following command line:
mencoder c:\yourfile.avi -o c:\newfile.avi -ovc copy -oac copy -force-avi-aspect 2.35

thanks...gonna try that :)

not working :/ out put file is just the same, a clean copy of input file

Maybe the flag can be recognized only by the mplayer? Anyway, try muxing in mkv, that's a solution that works 100%.

not working :/ out put file is just the same, a clean copy of input fileI doubt that. Probably the output file has a correct AR flag, but you're using a player that ignores the flag. Try playing it in MPlayer.
