NeroVision Express 3

When I use NeroVision Express 3 (Nero 6 Ultra) to create VCDs from AVI files, generally speaking it works great. BUT- the aspect ratio is always 4:3 in NeroVision. I can't seem to find a place to change it. So, every video that gets transcoded and burned as VCD ends up with a 4:3 AR. If the source file is 4:3 then it's not a big deal. But most of the source files are 16:9, so when NVE3 transcodes it using 4:3, the picture gets messed up and everything gets tall and skinny. I'm sure there's got to be a place where you can set the AR in NVE3 and I'm just missing it....

THANKS!

hope it helps

 

Thanks hawklord, but that only applies to DVD-Video. When using NeroVision to make VideoCDs, and you click on the 'More' button down at the bottom, you don't get the tab that has the Aspect Ratio choices. All that comes up is the 'General' page and the only option there is PAL or NTSC....
:confused

 

Hi, dlb. I quick search comes back with 4:3 a/r is inherent in the VCD format so no automatic change available. I don't get deeply into burning videos but I'm guessing if you really wanted to, you could add the blackened areas using a video converting software where you manually control things like de-interlacing, cropping etc. Maybe avisynth or avi2DVD could be useful(but steep learning curve from looking around).

You could give this a shot as a trial to see if it truly allows you to select A/R. VCD Maker

On the Disc at Once thread...try your ISO on a different computer than you burned it on to see if it is recognized. Disc at Once has to do with finalizing a disc and used to be critical when using a burnt disc on a computer other than the one it was created on.

 

Thanks for the info. Luckily I don't use NeroVision all that often, but when I do it now I'll be sure to create VCDs from video files encoded for full screen (like TV shows for example saved on a DVR).

 

Apologies there dlb I had a link to a NeroVision Forum but having looked around it with your problem it seems pretty limited..
