question about pal and progressive

Im not sure whats wrong with the aspect, it may be that is is 16:9 but not anamorphic, so its letterboxed.Like a film called Leon, the box says its 16.9, but the movie its self is 4.3 because its letterbox. ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true), this wont affect of damage the progressive film, well i dont think so.Its defualted to interlaced=true, this way if you have a interlaced source its already set, where if it was just ConvertToYUY2 u may forget to and interlaced=true. But you can change it if you want, for progressive use ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=false)

hi, thx for the info....the thing with interlace=true is ok. hmm the thing with the aspect ratio still is strange. it is an old dvd called "stalingrad" (old german dvd). do i have any options to tell doitfastforyou that it is dealing with a 16:9 ? or perhaps just changing from 4:3 to 16:9 in the docce4u settings..?? thx frank ps good to know that there are some other pal user..:-))

The aspect.On the case it says its widescreen, but on the dvd itself its stored fullscreen.This is because its not anamorphic.Its letterboxed.Leon is the same.

I guess what confuses awe007 is non-anamorphic 16:9 against anamorphic 16:9. The first one has black bars at top and bottom of video (so it's letterboxed ;)). There is nothing realy wrong with this (except you are loosing some bitrate to encode those black bars). Have a look at generated m2v files in some software dvd player to verify this. DIF4U doesn't realy use aspect ratio info. It just passes it either to RA or to DoCCE4U/BatchCCEWS. If DIF4U is wrong (very unlikely as it would mean bad authoring of orignal dvd) you can change aspect ratio in DoCCE4U/BatchCCEWS. On a side note there are much more PAL users here than just 3 of us ;)
