Mpeg sizing properties
I made a 352 x 240 mpeg, played it in Media Player, checked properties and it verified it was 352 x 240, sent it on DVD to another video professional, he checked it on his PC and it was 320 x 240 and on his Mac 321 x 240. Any explanation for the difference? Anyone else have problems like this?
Thanks,
Kurt

The players are auto-correcting to the 4:3 aspect ratio, and reporting the displayed pixels, not the actual encoded pixels.
Everything is working fine – don’t sweat it.
That said, when I make MPEG-1 for computer playback, I prefer to do it at 320×240 square pixel, so we don’t have any of that scaling going on anyway.

That explains it. Thanks.
So is there a way to find out the actual size of a media file, and not just what the media player is displaying?
