aspect ratio

[doom9_diver]

Hi folks

I´m using DVD2SVCD with AVI2SVCD 1.1.2 build1 and I have the folowing avi-formats (extracted from G-Spot):
704x432 (1.630:1) [~13:8]
720x480 (1.500:1) [~3:2]
352x288 (1.222:1) [~11:9]
352x280 (1.257:1) [~5:4]
640x368 (1.739:1) [~7:4]
720x432 (1.667:1) [~15:9]

The question now is: do I have to edit the Avisynth-script file any more (as mentioned in Q62 in Q&A), or does the latest version of DVD2SVCD everything for me? Ah, I´m using PAL.



Thanks a lot

704*432 = PAL 16:9 (1.78:1)
720x480 = NTSC 4:3 (1.33:1)
352x288 = PAL 4:3 (1.33:1)
352x280 = ??? Wrong... or anamorphic?
640x368 = PAL 16:9 (1.78:1)
720x432 = ??? Wrong, maybe PAL 16:9 or PAL 1.85:1

What does yout Tools do? A lot of wrong Aspect Ratios...

Hi Kika

Thanks for your answer. These are movies I got from a friend of mine. He´s wathing them on his laptop, but I want to use the standalone, so I want to have them as SVCD/VCD. And the best tool I know is DVD2SVCD.
So I have to play around a little bit? Or whitch ratio do I have to take in DVD2SVCD?

And is it recommendable to "enlarge" the video to 480x576?


Thanks

Guess it's better not to use DVD2SVCD in this cases, because you can't be sure about the Aspect Ratios. My posting was a guess, based on the ITU-R-Rules, but without seeing the Videos, i also can't be sure.

Maybe it's a good Idea to use Fit2Disc/FitCD to get the (maybe) right Ratios.

Well thanks a lot!!

I tried the FitCD plugin and everything went all right.

But now one of the movies wont be encoded by CCE. AVI2SVCD starts, encodes audio and than hangs. Do u know what this could be?

Have a look in this thread:

I know this error is hard to search because "AVI CCE freeze hang" and such terms always give you a hell bunch of threads as a result.

HTH,
