Bug ID: 445675 Summary: Rendering widescreen 16:9 format to DVD always adds black bars Product: kdenlive Version: 21.08.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Video Display & Export Assignee: j...@kdenlive.org Reporter: norb...@preining.info Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY It is not possible to render to widescreen DVD (NTSC) without adding black bars at top bottom, despite input data is 16:9. All renderings to DVD (VOB) result in 4:3 rendered video with black bars, which, when shown on a normal modern TV, results in wrong aspect ratio. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. create a project in some 16:9 format 2. render to SD/DVD OBSERVED RESULT output contains black bars at top bottom EXPECTED RESULT correctly encoded video that shows full screen (filling the full screen) of a 16:9 TV SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Changing the Project format to NTSC widescreen does not help, rendering to DVD again creates black bars. Changing the project to DVD, black bars are already added in the preview. What I currently do is: * render to 16:9 mp4 high quality * use videotrans' movie-to-dvd with the respective options -m ntsc -q high -a 16:9 -M * use dvdauthor to create the dvd structure using the previously created vob file * burn -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
