View Full Version : Cropping Non Anamorphic widescreen

I have a non anamorphic widescreen DVD I would like to encode. In GK resolution tab I've set the aspect ratio as 4:3 and am using an output resolution of 512 X 384. When I autocrop it the amounts cropped are 50 (top), 46 (bottom), 4 (left), and 8 (right). This changed the resolution to 512 X 320 and the aspect ratio to 1.6 with an error of 2.4%. I'm not sure what to do from here. Do I want an aspect ratio of 1.6 or is that going to look distorted since it is not 16:9 after cropping? With smart crop I can get the error down to -0.5% but that's still based on the 1.6 aspect ratio I've got now.

Can't you just look at the preview window and check if its looks distorted or not? What you see is what you'll get...
