hi all, i have some 4/3 media and i want to see them in 16/9 full screen. The movie will be 'enlarged' but i don't care, i want full screen ^^ The target output must be in 1280x720 aka 720p blueray compliant media At You can see : --sar 1:1 for 720p Question : When i use the 1:1 i have a 4/3 movie :( is it a --resize option ? or a --sar option which can make me happy? Question 2 : If we mod sar, will it keep the compliant bd rule? Thx in adv, Max

you have two options: a. to resize to center of 16:9 frame (pillarbox) Code:

i would avoid tmpg, you will incur YV12=>RGB=>YV12 losses

lutinor, can you 'mediainfo' your source file and post some data?

i would try something like this (since being in pal land), i did overlook the possibility of standard res in my previous post: Code:

yes that's it I don't see borders option ? crop is an option too if you scroll a bit higher I was referring to the 720p pillarbox option with 4:3 content (your original "a" option above in post #2)

I was a bit busy yesterday but , i'm not sure : It is possible to avoid avisynth? It sounds very hard for me :( The 720*544 has left and right border, it's a square + 2 ugly black band, one on the left , one on the right Maybe a resize option in x264 can save my day ?
