Multiple aspect ratios

[exobyte]

I have a video with multiple aspect ratios, so I encoded each seperatly. How can I set them up to play conecutively? Is this a multi-title thing or can I do it just by having a few files?

If you have DVDMaestro it's as simple as placing each video on its own timeline and then linking the movies using the connections window.

How/if you can do this depends on the authoring program you use.

If the aspect ratios do indeed differ (i.e. one is 4:3 and the other is 16:9 - as opposed to 4:3 letterbox) then the videos will have to be in separate VTSs (which is what Maestro does anyway).

The really do differ. Basically, I didn't want to see a solid letterbox border if the 4:3 is displayed on a 16:9 TV.

Oh ok, I glanced at your previous thread and wasn't entirely sure ;)

Should have said that DVDlab, which has a 30 day trial, will also do the trick. Similar interface to Maestro.

I need two audio track as well. I played with ifoedit, but I got buffer underruns on one of my clips.

Anyway- I'm off to bed. EVIL Latin exam tomorrow.

Meanwhile- mpeg2 sucks on gradients...
