Widescreen with Nero??

[Darkhawk]

I'd like to know how can I keep the widescreen format when I burn a VCD using Nero? I have the .avi file, which Nero converts, but then when I play it on my DVD, the image has been modified to fit the screen.

Sorry VCD is equal to both sides

Sorry VCD or SVCD is equal on both sides... 480x480 is max but they have to be equal I know it sucks but that is the way the cookie crumbles...

cookies dont crumble...they just get eaten.....

You can always use TMPGEnc to convet to MPEG and than you can alter the screen size

Seems like there is no way to use NERO to preserve the wide screen format when converting a DivX to VCD?? Can someone confirms this please?

"Sorry VCD or SVCD is equal on both sides"

You are mistaken.

For VCD, acceptable conforming format dimensions are 352x240 and 352x288.

For SVCD, the MAXIMUM dimensions are 480x480, but there is NO requirement to use those dimensions.

You can do it

I had the same trouble...

I had wide screen divx(576x256) ntsc format and I wanted to convert it to pal vcd and maintain the wide screen look.


When I converted the avi to mpeg (using TMPGen), I used these settings and they worked:

Settings:

Video:
size: 352x288
Aspect ratio: 4:3
Frame rate: 25

Advanced:
Source:4:3pal
Full screen(aspect ratio 2) >>IMPORTANT
576x256

Audio:
4100
224bit

Mpeg vcd system


When I made the vcd in nero, the wide screen aspect was maintained.

Hope this helps
