    Adding Black Border

    Alright. I have an AVI(DivX) video with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Whenever i convert it to MPEG-2 for SVCD it is squashed horizontally to fit in the 480x480 video area. What i was wondering is if there was a way to either encode it so i can use the 16:9 aspect ratio, or if there was some sort of tool i could use to add black space above and below the video so it is actually 480x480 but appears to be 16:9. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    1) What software are you using to convert to MPEG2-SuperVideoCD format?

    2) if you view the .AVI in VirtualDub (NOT Windows Media Player), does it have upper and lower black bars?

        Try the following in TMPGEnc:

        Click the "Video" tab and change applicable settings to: 352X240 (PAL 352x288), 4:3 (NTSC or PAL as appropriate) 525 Line. Click the "Advanced" tab and change applicable settings to: "16:9 Display", "Center (Keep aspect ratio)", and 352x240 (PAL 352x288).

        Let us know of your success ;>}

        If that doesn't do it, I'll post the lengthier VirtualDub procedure (which may result in a slight reduction of visual quality)...
