Hi Folks,
Inspired by the Posts in the Sticky for this forum and as my calculations for resize in respect to the links I found through this forum always suggested that ITU box checked makes sense...
(example: http://www.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/)...
I have no standalone DVD-player, but I have lately bought a dvd that I also bought 8 years ago as VHS...
I measured the logo of the producer in the intro in VHS (lentgh/height) and it was 1.74998, then with Cineplayer for the DVD on one of my PC's and it was 1.82xxx on my 2nd PC with PoverDVD it was 1.82xxxx also (the number beyond 1.82 where slightly different... in my measuring... but then I've done it from calibrated monitor and not screenshot)
a resize with ITU Box checked and 0% error produced an AVI that where 1.75.....
So my conclussion would be... as this particular DVD (TV series) with an 4/3 ratio produced with just the black lines left&right to 2*9->702*576 (and I am somewhat paranoid because the displayed area was ecaxtly hit with left 8 and right 10 - so I could easily just crop that with GK) as given in that link above.... I would always stay with ITU checked - but my question now is - could it be that with cheap standalone players you get a "pc-solution"? That they also get the exact ITU wrong because their firmware works on a PC-basis?
Just beeing curious - as for this DVD I now know that to end up with the same result as my VHS on TV i have to use a resize with ITU checked....
CU,
