FFDSHOW has a setting regarding rezise etc.
If i tick FUllscreen will my movies appear fullscreen.

[hacker_on_fire]

This will only apply to what codecs you have ticked. Best thing is to give it a try :)

decryptit, if you click on the fullscreen button then any movie you play will appear fullscreen. It will be very hard for your computer if you encode a movie that big with smooth playback. You have to remember that the bigger the frame size the more information is in that frame for your CPU to handle and if you have the frame size to big (i.e over 1024x) then you will just get choppy playback. I have played a short clip and i have 2.4ghz P4, 1gb of ram and for my computer this shrot clip did,nt playback smoothly at all, neither did it for the other users either. I encode films and everything at either 512x288 or 512x384, not saying that you should do that go higher if you want, but this buisness about encoding to fullscreen is a bit hardworking or impossible to play for your computer.

P.S all players have a fullscreen button you know. <b>AND</b> if you use a bicubic filter then you edges will be smooth instead of pixelated.

but will it be encoded into fullscreen.
Cause i would like it full screen inorder to play it on a standalone
dvd player.

Ah, i think i get where your coming from now. You mean you want to encode something that you can play on your DVD player so you can watch it on you t.v. Right so what your actually wanting then is VCD/SVCD (Videocd/Super video cd) well if that's what your talking about then i can't help you there, ehm, ain't you in the wrong section though??

P.S when you watch a VCD/SVCD yesy it will be at full screen depending on whether it is a widescreen movie, you might get slight black bars at the top and bottom but apart from that yes it will be nearly all of the screen.

[decryptit]

I never said that i wanted a vcd, what i want is that since some dvd's aren't fullscreen i would like to encode them in fullscreen
and then burn them as avi/divx/xvid files.

If the original dvd is 16:9 i would like to make it fullscreen the problem is from where do i have to set it.Since my encoder does not have any settings regarding ratios.

[zx50]

I'm a bit baffled by your request. The whole point of keeping the aspect ratio is so that you keep the characters on screen in their original shape. If i encoded a DVD without black bars there is no way that i could watch it with the characters stretched and deformed, but if that's what you want well...in the DivX codec itself just type in 512x384, 576x432 or whatever you want and then you will have the well...picture you want.

btw a stand alone DVD player is what you need to watch DVD's on a t.v, and apart from DVD's they will only play vcd's/svcd's.

By making a 16:9 movie into 4:3 you will be cutting it off from the side or squasking the pciture (not recommended). A better option may be to let your tv stretch it to full screen ( i assume you have a widescreen tv otherwise theirs no point in dond this).

You will needs a dvix player (standalone) to play your encode or a tv-out function on your pc.

He never said DivX DVD player, so therefore anyone would assume that he meant a standard DVD player.

I a have a dvd player capable of playing divx aswell.
Since i was talking on divx movies played on t.v ,its obvious
that i will have to play them on a compatible divx player.
Don't you think that !

By the way NOT all DVD standalone players are capable of playing vcd & svcd's. :duel:

[decryptit]

the divx codec has the option of setting your aspect ratio:
4:3
16:9
Original
etc
etc

I think the movie will be enoded according to the ratio chosen from here.

Am I right.

No not really because you never Indicated that the player was capable of playing DivX films <b>AND</b> you never said that it was a DivX player.

By the way NOT all DVD standalone players are capable of playing vcd & svcd's.

No but most of them do, and there's that many that it nearly comes as standard. I have'nt seen any that don't:P

It may depends if your encoder overrides these settings. What encoder are you using?

*edit, vBcode mistake

[decryptit]

divx 5 pro

What do you mean by that.

[hacker_on_fire]

Such as DVD2AVI, GordianKnot, DVDx etc.....

Hi,

The aspect ratio you want to set is 4:3, now, it doesn't matter if it's a 16:9 ratio encode, if your divx player has the option of choosing 4:3 then just choose that option.

If your player doesn't have the option of choosing an aspect ratio, then encode from 16:9 orignal - 4:3. I'm pretty sure it will have an option though, otherwise throw it in the bin :D...

What I do is, I connect an A/V wireless transmitter to the tv/out of my PC and setup 3 receivers to 3 tv's in the house. I then encode my movies in 16:9 and then play it in divx player, that player has an option to go 4:3, I simply click it and it's tv aspect on all 3 tv's... ;)

What's better than letting the whole house watch what you watch from the one source and they're all in the comforts of their own beds or lounge :D

And there's no burning, no wasting time, no spending money on cd-rs or dvd-rs for the rest of your life, unless for backup....and you don't need to go buy a standalone dvd player..

And even if you did buy one, you can only watch the movie you burnt on that one tv that the dvd player is hooked up to. If you want others to watch it at the same time, they have to go to where you're watching it, which in my case, I don't like, since you always get interrupted, by a laugh or a chat wth your family.

So what better than to kick them into their own rooms while you watch in peace an quiet?...and not only can we watch the same movie, but, we can all watch different movies streaming from the same computer, all perfectly smooth...a 4th movie gets a bit choppy, 2 movies is perfect, and 3 would be a rare case, and I've never needed to play 4 movies @ once, since we only have 3 tv's :D

And I doubt that any family member is going to pass up the opportunity to watch a blockbuster that no one has seen yet, if you get my picture.. ;)

PS: Just don't forget to turn the transmitter off when watching porn if you decide to buy one: roflmao
