Can't get Pan & Scan to work

[ipaulo]

Hello, I'm having problems with this wide screen to full screen. I can get it done with IfoEdit, but only when I also change the aspect ratio to 4:3 from 16:9 and check the automatic pan scan box. Though it appears make the picture look a little squished. Is the correct way of doing this? When I only check the box auto pan scan and leave the aspect ratio at 16:9 I see no difference in the screen size. Also when I try to do this with PgcEdit, the new file gets saved as PgcEdit_backup inside of Video_st ? When I go to file>save the box comes up VST Sectors(standard Method) OK!, is this correct? Well when I try to play that folder with Nero's DVD player it doesn't play. And when I go to open files in DVDShrink and select that folder I get error message The System Cannot find the file specified. When I open Video ST files I see no difference in screen size. Confused, thanks all.

To play something in pan and scan also requires the setup of the player to be set to 4:3 P&S.

@IPAULO - you are trying to make an anamorphic 16:9 picture look like a normal 4:3 with a simple trick in the IFOs. The trouble is that in the VOBs, it is still 16:9 ana, not 4:3.

To get it to play, ensure your IFO is 16:9 P&S and LB and as nwg says, your TV is set up for P&S.
