16:6 to 4:3 during ripping?

[davip]

Hello All,

Does anyone know if there's a relatively easy way to drop every 4th line of a DVD during ripping? My TV is 4:3 and most of my DVD's are 4:3 TV programmes, so rather than have my DVD player drop every fourth line of a ripped anamorphic DVD during playback, can I drop this during re-authoring? I rip my own discs to get rid of PUOs, menus etc.

The reason is (it seems to me) is that dropping every 4th line will make the resulting video files 25% smaller and require substantially less compression during the ripping process. If the TV is going to drop this line anyway, I would prefer this to applying high compression to the whole file. So, software that can make an anamorphic vob set into a 4:3 vob set that can be ripped back to dvd. Do-able?

thanks,
Dave

Players don't "drop every 4th line" from the original frame, players resize the frame to the desire output (4:3 or 16:9).
The frame size is the same, 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL, it's a standard whether the display aspect ratio is 4:3 or 16:9.
The video must comply with the standard in order to be able to author the DVD.

Cheers.

Don't worry guys!

There is a easy to solve your problem. Plz use Alldj DVD Ripper which have the 4:3 and 16:9 choice. only you need is tick 4:3. and the choose the format NTSC or PAL. This software auto deal all thing.

As we all known, 4:3 is for standard TV screen 16:9 is for wide TV screen.

Through two click your picture size will fit TV screen.

If create DVD use Super DVD Creator. Operation same to you.
