Aspect ratio...problem O_o

Vivaldi · Post by **Vivaldi** » Sat Jun 07, 2008 12:01 pm

Ok, I believe the problem is something pretty simple I'm missing, but anyway.

I've Got a source that's 1280x720, (5 cm per second) I've got the avs set up, and I'm attempting to convert it to lagirath for editing. The problem is when it gets done converting, the product is 720x480. Now don't have any type of croping going on right now in avisynth, and whenever I check the avs file in a media player, it's also in 720x480. So 1. why is my footage changing between the source and the avs? And 2. How do I get it back to normal without cropping my footage?

Many thanks.

Post the script?

Saving as lagarith does not modify your resolution. You must be explicitly changing the resolution or using something that does it for you.

I guess it could be Vdub's doing. Check it's settings to make sure it isn't changing it for some odd reason. I have no idea where such a setting would actually be, or I'd be more specific. Sorry. >_>

My avs auto resizes even when there's nothing in it but the import line. nevertheless..

Code: Select all

mpeg2source("C:\Documents and Settings\Vivaldi\My Documents\5cmps.dv2")

*Proxy edit* And I already checked V-dub, I couldn't find anything having to do with AR, but it happens before going into V-dub anyway.

right click on the file and choose properties and see what the resolution is there?

Can you clarify exactly what the source is? Is it a DVD, a downloaded file? If it is downloaded, what format is it?

If it is a DVD then it probably will be 720x480, a flag in the MPEG bitstream tells a decoder to stretch it to the right aspect ratio on playback, but even so that wouldn't be 1280x720, it would be around 853x480.

Ah, the one I'm refering to is a downloaded mkv, I was planing to start with that, then swap out later in the week when I can head into town and get the DVD. But if the two behave differently then I guess the whole idea of swapping is down the drain in the first place.

But that still confuses me somewhat, does that mean when I do get the DVD, I'll have to make the project file 720x480? Or will it continue to resize even after I export as avi.

If you're working with a Matroska file, then why are you importing a ".dv2" file? Did you mean ".d2v", which is completely unrelated to Matroska? Your story doesn't add up at all.
