Hey,

I have this divx movie from a 4:3 (1.33:1) Dvd (Pal) source.
And a prog told me this;

ascpect ratio of 1.66 is bad, error of 6.05556% >5
ascpect ratio of 1.66 has an error of 0.399602% compared to 1.66:1

I just can't understand it, how could have 1.66 some error in front of 1.66:1?

Anyway, if the source is 4:3 you shouldn't try to use 1.66:1 (that's 16:9, so widescreen). Any error beyond 3% is really big, you should use dimensions with fit more or less the original, that's error of 1% at most (and this is a high threeshold...)
