MPEG2 704x… to AVI DV video resolution queston

[Daniel Low]

Is your source 4:3 or 16:9, or either?

Source Parameters according to ProCoder
Video Frame Size: 704×576
Display Size: 720×576
MPEG Aspect ratio: 4 x 3 (default)

Target Parameters
Aspect ratio: 4 x 3

In Media Player Classic 6.4.9.1 (revision 99) both video windows are the same size. The DV file seems to be a little bit narrow due to the black stripes.

In Sony Vegas the DV file is simply displayed as a wider one. The actual footage size (without the black stripes) is exactly the same size as in the other file.

[Jan Nowak]

One more interesting thing.

Video Parameters according to Sony Vegas 9.0 (Build 563)

Format: MPEG-2
Attributes: 704×576
Pixel aspect ratio: 1,0909

Format: Canopus DV
Attributes: 720×576
Pixel aspect ratio: 1,0926 (PAL DV)

[Daniel Low]

If Procoder is still the same as CarbonCoder, you need to set a filter on the source files called Video Source Properties and in that filter for a pixels aspect ratio change of 15:16.

Could you please be more specific on how can i set this filter? I can’t find video filter preset called Video Source Properties

[Daniel Low]

If it’s not there then it’s not going to help you. Should I assume you are working with PAL source?

If you don’t want the black bars, you need to crop them out but this may result in a distorted picture, crop 8 from either side and 6 from top and bottom.

Shouldn’t it always be there?

The source is PAL

I’ll try to use the Relative Crop Video filter, hope I’ll understand how it works 🙂

[Daniel Low]

It’s obviously a carboncider specific filter. Sadly the relative crop filter is a nightmare to use, I can’t use it.

Cropping 8 from either side and 6 from top and bottom with Relative Crop got rid of the black stripes, and some video at the top and bottom. In a way the problem is solved.

In the process the video was changed from 704×576 to 720×576, so the main question remains unanswered – is there a way to change the default 720×576 output size while using a DV codec?

If not is there an other codec used for editing that allows full video size customization?

[Jan Nowak] “so the main question remains unanswered – is there a way to change the default 720×576 output size while using a DV codec? “

No. PAL DV is 720×576.

[Jan Nowak] “If not is there an other codec used for editing that allows full video size customization?”

Yes there are, what do you access to on your system and what are you actually trying to achieve?
