  • Sorenson Squeeze reducing resolution by 2 pixels

    Posted by Ted Buras on April 29, 2009 at 4:48 pm

    I’m taking a 640×480 video and using Squeeze to transcode it (WMV file format). However, when it’s completed, the video is now 638×480. Just curious as to why this might be. I have tried setting the frame size setting to both “same as source” and 640×480 but the final video is still coming out at 638×480. Not a huge deal, but I can’t figure out why it’s doing that. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    What’s telling you it’s that frame size?

    Media Player shows it as 638×480. I also loaded the file into Sorenson, and it too is showing that resolution.

    What if you use a format other than WMV?

    Just rendered a clip in MOV and it also came out to 638×480. Hmph.

    Have you grt any kind of cropping/resizing mashup going on in your profile?

    Does this happen with a fresh unused preset?

    What if you give it some other sized source?

    Used a new template but no luck.

    So I loaded a smaller video (480 x 360) and ran my current template on it (which is set to render at 640 x 480) and it came out 640 x 480. Changed the setting to “same as source” and it stayed at 480 x 360.

    Yet, when using the original 640 x 480 AVI, it comes out 638 x 480. Argh!

    BTW – thanks for your help with this!
