Playing full screen after TMPGEnc Encode

Postby Studio Hooghly » Fri Oct 11, 2002 10:32 pm

I followed ErMaC's guide to the letter, but when I play the finished mpeg back full screen in Windows Media Player 6.4, it stretches the image top-to-bottom. What am I doing wrong, and how can I get it to play in the correct ratio instead? I'm no greenhorn when it comes to the artistry of editing, but the technical stuff is new to me. Help is much appreciated.

play it in another player :D

wmp 6.4 will resize it to fullscreen, which 7, 8 and some free players like zoom player won't do.

Thanks for the help! I downloaded the beta for WMP 9, and then read the fine print. I didn't like the sound of Media Rights Management, so I didn't install the software. I'll just suck up the full-screening, I suppose. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

I use Sasami2k and I just LOVE it (not just cuz the name ;-p) it doesn't have borders (think DivX player and BS player has a mode like that too but...), has translucent controlls and can use any aspect ratio. When compaired with DPlayer and WMP... well imx (in my experience) those two are just slow and SUCK (WMP6 and 7 more). With BS you need WMP so... well I didn't even give it a go cuz <chuckle> that's just stupid. You can also just maximize S2k and since it doesn't have borders and is so sparse it's like custom aspect ratio in one click! works great on my 1280x720 desktop... btw you can also set it to your wall paper ;-p it's cool but requires alot (imo) of processor cycles. And you can set it to play WMV, MOV file but you DO need the WMP and QT for the codecs... but unlike BS it plays avis, mpegs etc. just fine without. for some reason my old beta associates with vob a dat files but I've not been able to find a reason... (WAV files too! And not many media players can play them) Unfortunately it can't play DVD (MPEG2) like WMP (the one with XP at least) or PowerDVD.

Good thing you didn't install WMP9 cuz I heard you can't uninstall it (MONOPOLY! give up on IE go to WMP!) and it doesn't yet work on XP or W2k or something.

Well, I've yet to find a better player then WMP 6.4. Sasami2k was ok, but it suffered from not being able to play some files for strange reasons(output as all garbled) and the controls were not very responsive.


You can get ahold of Windows Media Player Classic from doom9.org. You can also try running mplayer2.exe @ the run line.

"keep aspect ratio" option in TMPEGenc

Howdy,

When you go to the options menu, second tab, there are some settings for the aspect raio of the final .mpg. Try some out (you can use the "source range" filter to select a piece of your vid so you don't have to render the whole thing every time). I use Media Payer 6.X and have had no problems with either pan-n-scan or letterbox.
