DVD2SVCD, I know that you are buried in future features, but would it be too much to ask for you to consider this one? In the preview, when making svcd, the pixel appears to be 1 to 1. Can you add the option for the preview to expand the images to be 4:3 as a regular tv set? Sometimes, when making some AVI is very difficult to make if the proportions are right or if it needs some adjustment. Anyway, thanks. 200 movies and counting. You are THE MAN.

EDITED 23.11.2002: Sorry, this one is wrong, please read my next post.... Hi saber, I think there is a very simple do-it-youself solution to your problem: 1) Add a custom AVISynth script to dvd2svcd.ini (you will need a current version of DVD2SVCD for this to work! - see readme) Code:

Hi, o.k. it's not so easy as written above, but I tried it myself and I think, this is a solution to your problem demonstrated using one of the filters which are included in dvd2svcd.ini: Original filter (example - you can do this with every other filter as well!): Code:

480x352 

IMHO, you put slightly wrong numbers here: instead of doing final resize to 480x384 (which assumes that the SVCD will be scaled to 720x525 NTSC pixels), you should have put 480x352 (which corresponds to 720x480). See

Re: 480x352 

Your arguments? 

Can you explain why you think that NTSC SVCD would require scaling to 480x320? The link that I have posted above explains why effective pixel aspect ratio of NTSC SVCD is 15:11 (W:H). Since monitor has square pixels, to compensate for this W:H=15:11 one has to scale the height down to 480*11/15=352.
