Do I need to configure nuvexport in some way to get 16:9 output files?


I believe that Gavin stuck with 4:3 for the recent changes with nuvexport because we know of no way in linux to make an anamorphic DVD. Should probably add some kind of option to choose aspect ratio, though, since there are a fair amount of people who actually run Windows for their personal machines.



Ok.. I don't understand all the issues involved obviously as I didn't quite understand your answer! Especially the Windows part.

What about cropping the image to 4:3 first? I'm trying to export some
shows for my parents who only have a 4:3 TV anyway. Cropped would be
better than stretched which is what I've given them so far.

.. with the odd exception of that one show which appeared to be
letterboxed instead.

I found that I had the same problem. Playing on a PC in a window, or on a 4:3 tv caused the display to be squashed up.

All my recordings are in 16:9 format, and I forced ffmpeg to export as 16:9 by adding the option *-aspect 1.7777* in line 142 of dvd.pm in nuvexport/export/ffmpeg/dvd.pm

It does not seem to have any adverse affects, at least I haven't come across any and all my dvds seem to be fine.

regards

Gary
