Video Aspact Ratio Problems.

#1 Post by ian16th » Fri Oct 25, 2019 1:51 pm

If one downloads video from Youtube or some such, and displays it using a program such as VLC Media Player One can change the Aspect Ratio within VLC itself.

If I download something that was shot 4 x 3, but before putting on Youtube was 'stretched' to fill a 16 x 9 screen.
AS I said, if I use VLC I can display it correctly by changing the Aspect Ratio in the Video dropdown.

The problem I have is that If I burn to DVD and play via my DVD player, I can only display 'stretched', which annoys me!

Anyone have any idea how the Aspect ration can be corrected before the DVD is burnt.

The program I use for most of my video manipulation is 'Freemake Video Converter', that I have bought a licence to remove their watermark.
