Hi,

When converting NTSC DVD source to PAL, you need to change the frame-size from 720x480 to 720x576. When I do that I get a stretched looking image.

What's the best way to convert this properly? I'm trying to create some AVISynth scripts but can't figure it out. How would I simple add wider black bars to an 16:9 movie so the proportions are kept the same.. or is that not the right way to be doing this?

whether its PAL or NTSC, when its played back its played back at 4:3 or 16:9 which would be 768x576 or 1024x576 for pal, 640x480 or 852x480 for NTSC, so *should* be in proportion when you play it back on a TV.
