hi all, im having a little problem with a film that has been encoded at a screen res of 1280x528 when i reencode the film to 1280x720p the film fills the screen rather than being in a letterbox. this is the avs im using to reencode the film: DirectShowSource("C:\Documents and Settings\1\Desktop\Feature_1_Feature_2.rebuilt.EVO",fps=23.9700898503294,audio=false) #deinterlace #crop BicubicResize(1280,720,0,0.5) # Bicubic (Neutral) #denoise SelectEvery(2,0,0,0,1,1) ConvertToYV12() and the x264 script: x264.exe --threads 2 --thread-input --keyint 14 --min-keyint 1 --vbv-maxrate 28000 --vbv-init 1.0 --vbv-bufsize 14745 --mvrange 511 --level 4.1 --nal-hrd --pulldown 32 --bframe 2 --bime --weightb --ref 4 --mixed-refs --direct auto --deblock -1:-1 --bitrate 7846 --pass 1 --stats "x264_stat.log" --qcomp 0.75 --ipratio 1.10 --pbratio 1.10 --partitions "all" --8x8dct --me "hex" --subme 5 --aud --sar 1:1 --deadzone-intra 6 --deadzone-inter 6 --progress -o lw.264 h:\l.avs when i use this script for a decrypted evo the screen is in a letterbox!! anybody help? :):):):)

You could encode anamorphic and use the -sar command in x264. For that best use ARScalculator to get correct SAR settings. Or if you want to encode black borders, use AddBoarders() in AviSynth-Script (see AviSynth.org-Wiki) btw: can't your player play 1280x528 clips, and you have to change resolution?

wishbringer m8, i need 1280x720 res for hd dvd, i will try that ARScalculator and see if tthat works thanks dude
