i need black bars

[wicked2000]

hey folks ... u all know the black bars above and below a movie (widescreen) ... i have a xvid movie where the black bars have been cut away (like most movie rippers do beacuse of saving space) ...

i want to recode a part of the movie to mpeg 2 for a dvd presentation ... the whole coding works good (thanx for the good guides from this page) ... i just have one problem ... the format looks awful ...the lenght is compressed because when i play the dvd the player pulls the picture in height ...

now i tried to resize the video in virtual dub first but that didnt work ...

i just need to know a method how i can "repaste" the black bars in my video so it wont look so squashed ...

does anyone have an idea ?

the xvid movie file has a resolution of 624 * 240 pixels

and for dvd (pal) i need 720 * 576 ...

In AviSynth, the following lines must be added:

BicubicResize(720,326)
AddBorders(0,125,0,125)

And encode in 4:3
