mpg encoding - aspect ratio

[Murray007]

I have a mpg movie which plays with overly large black bars on the top and bottom of the screen, larger than usual widescreen. Is it possible to encode an mpg to mpg to change the aspect ratio? I use TMPGEnc to encode movies.

Hi....

You should be able to change the aspect ratio using your software when you encode... just check out the followin

Under the video tab on your tmpg converter....

Aspect Ratio: This is the aspect ratio that the final product will come out as.


1:1 VGA: This would be the correct aspect ratio if you plan to watch your video on your computer.
4:3 525 line NTSC: This would be the ratio you would use if you want to format your video to play on a NTSC TV (US and Japan systems).
4:3 625 line PAL: This would be the ratio you would use if you want to format your video to play on a PAL TV (Everywhere else in the world).
16:9 line 525 NTSC: This would be the aspect ratio you would use when you want to have your video fit properly on a 16:9 NTSC television or to have you standalone player fix the aspect ratio for you.
16:9 line 525 PAL : This would be the aspect ratio you would use when you want to have your video fit properly on a 16:9 PAL television or to have you standalone player fix the aspect ratio for you.
