8260 | 276 |
277 <P>DVDs and SVCDs (i.e. MPEG1/2) files contain an aspect ratio value, | |
278 which describes how should the player scale the video stream, so humans | |
279 won't have egg heads (ex.: 480x480 + 4:3 = 640x480). However when encoding | |
280 to AVI (DivX) files, you have be aware that AVI headers don't store this | |
281 value. Rescaling the movie is disgusting and time consuming, there | |
282 must be a better feature!</P> | |
283 | |
284 <P>There is.</P> | |
285 | |
286 <P>MPEG4 has an unique feature: the video stream can contain | |
287 its needed aspect ratio. Yes, just like MPEG1/2 files (DVD, SVCD). | |
288 Regretfully, there are <U>no</U> video players outside which support this | |
289 attribute. Except MPlayer.</P> | |
290 | |
291 <P>This feature can be used only with <B>libavcodec</B>'s <CODE>mpeg4</CODE> | |
292 codec. Keep in mind: although MPlayer will correctly play the created file, | |
293 other players will use the wrong aspect ratio.</P> | |
294 | |
295 <P>You seriously should crop the black bands over and below the movie image. | |
8402 | 296 See the manpage about the usage of the <CODE>cropdetect</CODE> and |
297 <CODE>crop</CODE> filters.</P> | |
