Hi,
Example 5 of thw wiki

Calculating_Frame_Size_And_Aspect_Ratio
gives an example of converting a 672x272 AVI file (with PAR of 1:1 and
DAR of 42:17).
The steps given are first zoom then pad (add borders). Since 672 is about
96% of 702, and zooming+padding takes more time than merely padding, I'm
wondering if it is possible to convert the avi to 702x480 DVD video by
simply padding, without zooming?
as it states right there on the page:
"DVD video does not allow a PAR of 1:1"
so if you copy your source square pixels to the dvd non-square pixels,
things will look squashed or stretched...
