I have recorded TV that I have edited down to XviD AVI's at 640 x 480 resolution. I record in MPEG2 using an All-in-Wonder 9700 Pro, convert to XviD with FlaskMPEG, and edit using VirtualDubMod. I am now looking to burn this video onto DVD.
I use TMPGEnc Plus 2.5 and its DVD setting to convert to MPEG2. However, when I burn these, and I have tried with both Roxio 6 and TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.5, my video looks incorrect.
When I play my DVD's on a player the video's sides are slightly cut off, and it seems taller. Anamorphically speaking, it is almost as if instead of shrinking the video width from 720 to 640, my DVD player is instead expanding the height from 480 to 540. In essence an enlarged 720 x 540 video is playing on a screen of 640 x 480, and so my video does not fit. The actual height appears larger, and it looks as if approximately 40 pixels are cut off on either side.
My question is: How do I encode my video so that it plays correctly? What am I doing wrong? Is there a TMPGEnc setting I'm incorrectly choosing? Or is the problem more deeply seated in my conversion process. Thanks so much.
