Hi all, I created an SVCD mpeg using my TV capture card, but I cannot get it to play correctly with mplayer. Since SVCD has resolution 480x480, it is displaying my movie at a 1:1 aspect ratio, but it is supposed to stretch it to 4:3 aspect ratio.
Fortunately with mplayer I can use a command-line option to override the display aspect ratio and it works. But it is kind of tedious to have to override that, and I am worried that when I try to go and burn an SVCD that it is not going to play correctly on my hardware DVD player either. So, I was thinking of upgrading my mplayer and also trying to download a different mpeg2 codec or something, but then I went on my other computer running windows and downloaded WinDVD 7 and it had the same problem! Now I am thinking there must be something wrong in the mpg header or something, but I downloaded a program called MediaInfo and it said that the DAR (display aspect ratio) on my movie was 4:3. So, does anyone think this is problem with a bad mpeg2 decoder? Or, do you think the .mpg file that my capture card created has something wrong with it. What can I do to find out what the problem is and how can I fix it? Thanks, Phillip P.S. The capture card in question is a KWorld Studio TV Terminator. -- Phillip Hellewell <phillip AT hellewell.homeip.net> -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
