hi i'm having a sample ar problem. im using the vfw version of x264, maybe this problem isn't in x264 cli but my megui just started not working on me and i need a vdubmod filter (logo filter) for my encode.

well heres the problem i havea video 704x528 (well im resizing it from 704x512) so i can have a correct ar of 4:3. i noticed with some math that there has to be a common number used for ar. 704÷4=176 and 176X3=528. i got this idea from 640x480. 640÷4=160 and 160X3=480. now when i type in the sample ar 4:3 my out come ar is 16:9. now 704 is can be divided by 16 to equal 44 but when 44X9 i get 396. which is not my 528.

whats causing x264 to completly ignore my sample ar 4:3 and give it a 16:9. this was done with a two pass encode.

when i check the video properties it says for video size 704x528 (AR 16:9) when it should be 4:3.

can anyone help me out here. im using rev 564 of x264 vfw.

1- uninstall megui, reinstall it and let it autoupdate.
2- avisynth can use vdub filters.
3- the SAR is different from DAR. Read the FAQs in the x264 sticky.
4- dont use x264 VFW. it's outdated.
