so since both numbers have to be multiples of 16, then 16:9 wont work in Xvid? is that the bottom line?


and i cant find either of those options you mentioned. when you start a project you have a choice between Adobe HD-SDI, Adobe HDV, Adobe SD-SDI, DV-24p, DV-NTSC and DV-PAL and there are subcategories under each of them.

If by that you mean a height of 16 pixels and a width of 9 pixels, then yes. But there are a lot of different resolutions that have a 16:9 aspect ratio.

For example: 512x288 is a 16:9 resolution that will work with XviD. Why? Because 512/16 = 288/9 (32), and both 512 and 288 are multiples of 16.

Another example: 768x432 will work, because 768/16 = 432/9 (48), and both 768 and 432 are multiples of 16.

ah, ok, i get it, do i have to do something special to get a 512:288 resolution or will Xvid automatically accept 16:9 when it goes through the process

I'm not sure I understand the question.
XviD will accept any resolution you throw at it as long as both the height and the width are multiples of 16. If you resize your video to 512 height and 288 width, XviD won't complain. If you resize your video to 512 height and 384 width, XviD won't complain then either.

You can resize your video with AVISynth, VirtualDub(/Mod), or whatever else you see fit to use.

gah i thought i wouldnt have to deal with avisynth anymore, oh well, which of these types do you recommend i use for creating a amv that will go through the avisynth/virtual dub/Xvid process?

Adobe HD-SDI, Adobe HDV, Adobe SD-SDI, DV-24p, DV-NTSC and DV-PAL

ive been using DV-NTSC since that was what i used in windows movie maker but if one of the others is a better choice i'll use that

You should read more carefully what's written. For the final compression you can use AVISynth, but you mustn't. VirtualDub(Mod) is enough if no postprocessing is required, only resizing. The only thing you should take care of is to select Lanczos3 as method.

None of the Export-Presets of Premiere does fit an AMV-Maker needs. You should really give the guides a shot, in this case the section for Exporting your video from Premiere Pro.

If those are your only options, then DV-NTSC is probably best.

By the way, you're confusing resolution with aspect ratio.

Aspect ratios (like 4:3 and 16:9) are the proportion between the width and height of your video screen. So if the width is 4 in a 4:3 video, the height is 3, and if the width is 8 (4 x 2) then the height is 6 (3 x 2).

Resolution is the actual size of the video. 320x240, for example, means that you have a 320-pixel wide and 240-pixel high screen. The resolution values.

That said, you can have a resolution like 720 x 480 that doesn't fit the 4:3 or 16:9 proportion but still works perfectly with XviD because both 720 and 480 are multiples of 16.

You aren't limited to jsut the factory default settings in Pro 2.0, there is a "Custom" button that lets you set up the export differently.
