Hi all,
Im trying to convert many AVi files to DVD. I have managed to do this many times BUT.....
On some of the convertions the aspect ratio isn't quite right and I have to change the settings on my TV.
But then every 10 - 15 minutes or so the screen flips back to the original viewing settings.
A freind says something about the DVD sending a signal to my TV to tell it what ratio it should be displayed at ??!!
How can I stop it sending this signal to my TV its most annoying?

This is the wrong forum for your question, which is about DVD authoring from square pixel content. We'll arrange to get it moved. See http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59667 for details.

Huh? Dvd only allows 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, and 352x240 for NTSC and of PAL has standard resolutions also. Encode to correct aspects and you won't has this problem. If you are using cce you may need to apply pulldown. Availible in the downloads section.

Agreed, but sometimes if the avi is widescreen I still get the black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. I can then select animorphic on my TV which stretches the image to remove the black bits. But every so often the pictures flips back to its original viewing settings and the black marks appear again.
This also happens with other ratios. I freinds says it because the DVD is sending a signal to the TV to tell it what ratio the movie should be viewed at ???

DVD's wide screen only support 16:9 ratio, which is about 1.77:1. But some movie source are much wider, say 2.35:1, so even if you have a 16:9 TV, you will still see some black bands on your screen.

Besides, a source DVD disc may contain defferent scenes which have totally different aspect ratios, if you rip them into one AVI source and set up one aspect ratio for the avi source, you'll see the problem.
