16:9 Aspec Ratio Svcd

[cinemacraft]

I am using DVD2SVCD/cce 2.66 to backup the DVD to SVCD, and I would like my SVCD target is in 16:9 aspec ratio. I wonder why the DVD2SVCD does not have 16:9 aspec ratio convertion?. It has 16:9 with border added and encode as 4:3. There a alot of wide screen DVD letter box version, it already added top and bottom black bars to reserve the frame size as seen in theater, if I choose 16:9 added border and encode as 4:3, my SVCD has irrigular black bars (2x as original aspec ratio), the image is streched out as I watch it in HD wide screen projection.
Last night made the SVCD from wide screen DVD with 1:85:1. The DVD is shown full image (no black bars). I reside as (480,480) and encoded it as 16:9 setting in CCE. The SVCD resulted with borders added, it looked like 16:9 letter box version, and image is not stretch out (look good).
My quetion is how to resize and encode the same as original DVD aspec ratio.

Thanks

Looks basic to me.

I research my issue in the Q&A section, I found out that there was the DVD2SVCD1.0.8b1. version that I need to encode aspec ratio 16:9. Look like that version is moved, can anyone show me where to download it, I appreciate very much for your help.

On the Misc tab, set DVD2SVCD level to Advanced and you'll be able to select "16:9 (no borders, encoded as 16:9)" on the Conversion tab.

Hi cinemacraft

Option 2: 4:3, no borders added, encode as 4:3. This is exactly like 4:3 in previous builds. This encodes a 4:3 disc with the full 576 line vertical resolution. Because the output from this disc in 4:3 the DVD player does not know to add black lines top and bottom to output to your 4:3 TV so the egghead effect ensues. Some TV's have picture modes to add black bars but the vast majority don't. However, played on a widescreen TV, you only have to stretch horizontally to fill the screen as it is already at full vertical resolution. Less stretching = better picture quality so if you will be watching on a widescreen TV this option is a winner.

If you have a widescreen TV this is an alternative option in the case of compatibility problems, but, obviously the SVCD will looks anamorphic in a normal 4:3 TV.
