That is, the SVCD resolution is 480x480 with an aspect ratio with 4:3, which gives a final 640x480 resolution when playing back the movie. > You can use any resolution your player accepts, but useing the default > resolution with cause less problems. Now I want to transcode an AVI movie which has a somewhat lower resolution than the 480x480 default SVCD resolution. It is 384:208 and its playing time is 2:48:26.981. Do you think that if I add top and bottom black borders of size 40 each (bringing the movie to 384x288, which would fit well on the TV screen, keeping the aspect 4:3) and then transcode it (the aspect ratio in the resulting MPEG2 being set to 1:1), I would get a resulting movie with better quality than making a standard SVCD (with the 480:480 @ 4:3 standard resolution)? > > I am in doubt about the aspect ratio.

Sometimes I make them non-standard in order to get better quality and/or fit more of the movie on one cd. Basically I encode at a higher bitrate (2800 kbit/s, for instance).
