View Full Version : Why does my movie displayed thinner than the width given in its properties?

I think I tried this in the wrong forum before.

I have an avi, I crop the top and bottom black bars in virtualdubmod. I save it as mkv.

The final resolution is 640 x 352. But it displays as ~444 x 352.

It shows (5:4 aspect ratio) also in the properties. Why? I didn't manually set that. But it's probably why the video is tall and thin instead of displaying the way I wanted.

I did finally fix it in mkvtoolnix by manually assigning a wider aspect ratio. But what is it that made virtualdub assign that odd AR in the first place?

Cause it's VirtualDubMod that is old, depriciated and no longer updated ...

Upgrade to current VirtualDub releases and Bob's ya Aunty ;)

Thanks for the replies y'all. I had no idea virtualdub was still being updated, I thought mod was the fresher one :o Does it support more formats now and hopefully crash less?
