    This will only apply to what codecs you have ticked. Best thing is to give it a try

      decryptit, if you click on the fullscreen button then any movie you play will appear fullscreen. It will be very hard for your computer if you encode a movie that big with smooth playback. You have to remember that the bigger the frame size the more information is in that frame for your CPU to handle and if you have the frame size to big (i.e over 1024x) then you will just get choppy playback. I have played a short clip and i have 2.4ghz P4, 1gb of ram and for my computer this shrot clip did,nt playback smoothly at all, neither did it for the other users either. I encode films and everything at either 512x288 or 512x384, not saying that you should do that go higher if you want, but this buisness about encoding to fullscreen is a bit hardworking or impossible to play for your computer.

      P.S all players have a fullscreen button you know. <b>AND</b> if you use a bicubic filter then you edges will be smooth instead of pixelated.

          Ah, i think i get where your coming from now. You mean you want to encode something that you can play on your DVD player so you can watch it on you t.v. Right so what your actually wanting then is VCD/SVCD (Videocd/Super video cd) well if that's what your talking about then i can't help you there, ehm, ain't you in the wrong section though??

          P.S when you watch a VCD/SVCD yesy it will be at full screen depending on whether it is a widescreen movie, you might get slight black bars at the top and bottom but apart from that yes it will be nearly all of the screen.

            I never said that i wanted a vcd, what i want is that since some dvd's aren't fullscreen i would like to encode them in fullscreen
            and then burn them as avi/divx/xvid files.

            If the original dvd is 16:9 i would like to make it fullscreen the problem is from where do i have to set it.Since my encoder does not have any settings regarding ratios.

              I'm a bit baffled by your request. The whole point of keeping the aspect ratio is so that you keep the characters on screen in their original shape. If i encoded a DVD without black bars there is no way that i could watch it with the characters stretched and deformed, but if that's what you want well...in the DivX codec itself just type in 512x384, 576x432 or whatever you want and then you will have the well...picture you want.

                btw a stand alone DVD player is what you need to watch DVD's on a t.v, and apart from DVD's they will only play vcd's/svcd's.

                  By making a 16:9 movie into 4:3 you will be cutting it off from the side or squasking the pciture (not recommended). A better option may be to let your tv stretch it to full screen ( i assume you have a widescreen tv otherwise theirs no point in dond this).

                  You will needs a dvix player (standalone) to play your encode or a tv-out function on your pc.

                    He never said DivX DVD player, so therefore anyone would assume that he meant a standard DVD player.

                      I a have a dvd player capable of playing divx aswell.
                      Since i was talking on divx movies played on t.v ,its obvious
                      that i will have to play them on a compatible divx player.
                      Don't you think that !

                      By the way NOT all DVD standalone players are capable of playing vcd & svcd's.

                        the divx codec has the option of setting your aspect ratio:
                        4:3
                        16:9
                        Original
                        etc
                        etc

                        I think the movie will be enoded according to the ratio chosen from here.

                        Am I right.

                          No not really because you never Indicated that the player was capable of playing DivX films <b>AND</b> you never said that it was a DivX player.

                          By the way NOT all DVD standalone players are capable of playing vcd & svcd's.
                          No but most of them do, and there's that many that it nearly comes as standard. I have'nt seen any that don't

                            It may depends if your encoder overrides these settings. What encoder are you using?
