Hello. I am in doubt about what aspect ratio to use when encoding SVCDs from a widescreen source.
For instance, today I have encoded a movie from an AVI source with frame size 800x344 to SVCD with both aspect ratios 4:3 and 16:9. For the 16:9 aspect ratio the needed black border at the top and the bottom of the movie image is smaller than for 4:3. I believe that as a result more bits are used for the image itself, giving a better quality. When playing the SVCD at a normal TV (aspect ratio 4:3), the DVD player will add black borders to fit the image into the TV screen. Am I right expecting better quality results with a 16:9 aspect ratio in the SVCD? Regards.
