I need some help trying to fix aspect ratios when editing and encoding.
As you know, some DVDs encode in 720x480 yet it does not show in full screen but in widescreen. So in essence the black bars are actually part of the video.
Since I know that 16:9 is 720x360, I was wondering how I can encode the video without those black bars and just let the player insert them. This way I can reduce the bitrate and filesize by a considerable amount.
So what should I do when importing the 720x480 full screen into TMPGEnc? How can I reduce it to 720x360 without screwing up the aspect ratio (or in other, yet grossly described, words, how do I get rid of the black bars that are included)?
