    Resize avi to SVCD for widescreen TV

    Hi everyone,

    Probably this topic was discussed hundreds times before, but I wasn’t able to find something for this issue.
    Usually I convert movies from avi 512x256 to SVCD.
    What I’m doing is this:
    Using TMPGEnc Plus 2.58.44.152
    · Project wizard
    · Select Super Video CD (PAL) CBR 2520kbps 35min/650MB next
    · Browse the avi file (512x224)
    · Aspect Ratio 1:1 VGA next
    · Under Other Setting – Advanced – Video Arrange Method Full Screen ( Keep aspect Ratio) next
    · Average video bitrate 2050 next
    · Output file …… Start encoding immediately next
    · Done


    Encoding the avi in this way, I don’t have any problem to watch my SVCD on my 28 wide screen TV. I don’t have any black band on the top or bottom of my movie.

    Recently I received avi files with different resolution 640x480 ( with thw tipical 2 black bands TOP and BOTTOM)



    Proceeding in the same way I can see on my screen 2 huge black bands(TOP and BOTTOM).

    Following a friend’s suggestion, I used Virtual Dub 1.4.10:
    Add a filter:
    · Using “null transform” filter and cropping the 2 bands I obtained the same result encoding, with TMPGEnc, the avi (twice bigger than the original with a considerable loss of quality)
    · Using “resize” filter , setting new width at 512 – new height at 256, cropping or not the 2 bands…..same results than before.

    Following forum’s suggestion:

    I tried to used directly TMPGEnc Plus 2.58.44.152:

    · Project wizard
    · Select Super Video CD (PAL) CBR 2520kbps 35min/650MB next
    · Browse the avi file (640x480)
    · Aspect Ratio 1:1 VGA or 16:9 PAL 625 line (PAL) or 16:9 display next
    · Under Filter Setting – Clip frame – Clip the 2 bands ( tried also without this step)
    · Under Other Setting – Video – Size – set size at 512x224 or left default size – set aspect Ratio at 4:3 or 16:9 or VGA next
    · Under Other Setting – Advanced – Video Arrange Method: I tried all the choices there
    · Output file …… Start encoding immediately next
    · Done


    Still the 2 BLOODY black bands on my SVCD.

    Any good suggestion to encode an avi 640x480 to a SVCD that can be watch on wide screen TV without the black bands?

    Thank guys
