When you try to convert a 704 x 480 pixels video to these DVD video formats, Digital Media Converter will stretch the video to fit the DVD video dimension. Hence, the video will appear stretched or narrow.<br /><br />The DVD aspect ratio (4:3, 16:9 and 2.21:1) changes the Display Aspect Ratio of the video. The width and height of the actual MPEG 2 video is either 720 x 480 pixels or 720 x 576 pixels depending on the picture standard. The Display Aspect Ratio instructs the DVD player about the dimension in which the file should be played.<br /><br />Since the aspect ratio of 704 x 480 pixels is nearest to 2.21:1 aspect ratio, you are able to view the video best in 2.21:1.</td></tr></table>2006-01-12T05:03:07-05:002006-01-12T05:03:07-05:00DeskShare - Support<table class="content postContainer_Alt" width="100%"><tr><td>A standard MPEG 2 video that you can write to a DVD disk in NTSC is 720 x 480 pixels and 720 x 576 pixels in PAL.

I am trying to convert Windows media centre files DVR-MS into an MPEG format, but whenever I try to, the converted movie doesnt look right. The faces, for example, are very narrow and tall. Its as if I'm not converting the file into the right aspect ratio.<br /><br />The Video properties when I look at the source file say its 704 x 480, but I cant seem to find a format that fits the same video dimension. I am in Australia so I am using PAL.<br /><br />Both 4:3 and 16:9 dont look right. It nearly looks best using the Aspect Ratio of 2.21:1 which is cinemascope, but I cant work out why.<br /><br />I'm watching these on my PC monitor, not a TV.<br /><br />Can anyone help?</td></tr></table>2006-01-12T00:06:46-05:002006-01-12T00:06:46-05:00BenH<table class="content postContainer" width="100%"><tr><td>Hello all,<br /><br />I'm quite new to all this, so please bare with me.
