I've read uncas ms guides
And it said you eighter can set Smart crop all or if the black bars
still appear use the pixel option.

I've tried that out but removing the black bars instead appeared
white bars (sort of) is that normal and will the video appear without bb after encoding.

[decryptit]

If needed adjust the height or width with the 'arrows' which are located above where it says "width x Height".

What do you suggest for heigth ans width and will that (remove blackbars) because normally i leave it at 640w 368h.

No wonder something went wrong , because you still had the widescreen resolution. try smart crop or the pixel crop again but this time have the type of your video in gordian knot as non anaphormic (4:3). and for the resolution then have something square like 640x480, 576x432, ect...

I would not recommend what zx50 said above as this will stretch the video permanently. Instead use the player to stretch it for you or your tv.

I answered your problem in your other thread when you said i was wrong:

"I am right, you can get rid of black bars. The problem you have is when the player sizes it to full screen AND keeps the aspect ratio thus putting it's own black bars. If you don't believe me you should use smart crop all as i said and adjust for perfection and then open the encoded file in virtualdubmod.

Edit:

If you want the video to fill the whole screen when zoom'd to full screen you need to make sure the player doesn't preserve the aspect ratio. Note this will strech the picture."

Ok then but how come blackbars still appear in gk's prewiew window.

And what res what you suggest??

Look hacker_on_fire, decryptit has said that he wants rid of the black bars. This is the only way that he can get rid of them. If he wants a resolution without the black bars then he should do as i say. Me personally, i'm baffled as to why he wants to take the black bars away in the first place, but still....decryptit is saying that he crops the black bars and then puts blackbars on again by having that resolution (i know that he said that he wants the black bars off, but having that resolution amounts to the same thing).

P.S i'm baffled by decryptit's encoding anyway.

[decryptit]

Your'e mixing up things.
cause hacker on fire said thatt its possible to get rid of them having the same res an perhaps beter quality at the same time.

And i agree with him the only thing is that the smart crop all thing
has not always worked.

If i do what you said and believe me i already tried it both using gk and the codec the end result willl be streched movie.

Don't believe try it out!

You must be keeping the aspect ratio the same (in the player NOT when encoding), otherwise the player would make it fill the whole screen when you put it to full screen.

I'll make it simple as possible .ok

1.Set the aspect ratio to 4:3 anamorphic. PAL/NTSC
2.The resolution 756*520 (codec) not gk
3.SET TO SMART CROP ALL
4.played using power dvd TICKED THE OPTION -"Keep Aspect Ratio"
5.Black bars appeared.
6.Unticked "keep aspect ratio"and ticked "PAN SCAN" and the movie got streched.

?????

[hacker_on_fire]

I understand what you say zx50, but he can get rid of them by cropping (you'll see the bars gone in gknots preview) and then stretch it (pan and scan) using the player. Theirs no doubt your way's easier as it's permanent and you dont need to mess around with the player. But in my preferance my method will give better quality while having the option to strecth the video or not all the time. I am also baffed about decryptit encoding )


"Ok then but how come blackbars still appear in gk's prewiew window."

Post a pic please. This is very easy, but you seemed to be very confused.

"And what res what you suggest??"

Different on each movie. Also depends also the bitrate available. Usually though 640xXXX (for widescreen) or 512xXX (for fullscreen i.e. 4:3 aspect ratio)

[decryptit]

I'll post a preview don't worry.

[zx50]

If decryptit wants to just crop the black bars off to improve the picture but still have a widescreen resolution then i can understand that. But in other posts decryptit has been going on about taking the black bars off and having it 4:3, i mean what's that all about??

[hacker_on_fire]

Very confusing indeed.

"I'll post a preview don't worry."

Don't forget to include your settings aswell in the same screenshot.

[decryptit]

Yeah don't worry il'll put them aswell.

[decryptit]

Hey what does quality depend on most
On the RESOLTION or FrameRATE.
What happens if you choose a high resolution and a low framerate.

[hacker_on_fire]

the less frames per second the less smooth the video will play.
if you have a high resolution you need a higher bitrate to get the same quality with a lower resolution.
