Hi Alan,

Thanks for the tips but it would be great to get some tips on how to actually do the flip?
Anyone out there willing to take a stab at this?

So to clear me up is DVD 720 x 480 16:9 ratio or 1:5 ?

[Eric Murty]

I just downloaded the file and the size is 600 x 400 which is not keeping to the set aspect ratio. if it was it should be 600 x 450.
So can anyone explain why they are not having any distortion?

Thanks for all the help on here.

Oops sorry about the link here it is again.

Ok I got the math of it now. I saw this site today which is presenting quicktime video which is not your usual size and the video does not look distorted. Maybe someone can shed some light as to why.
The size seems to be 600 x 416. Now I presume it should be 600 x 450 in order to keep the aspect ratio correct.

Thanks to all for you’re replies. This has become very technical not really the intent. I presumed it was a little easier than this but I guess not.

Danny2007 you mentioned ON2 says the frame sizes has to be dividable by 8 does this mean I could use something like
544 x 360 or am I getting the math completely wrong.
544/8=68
360/8=45

Thanks,

Ok so I did a test I compressed one video at 540 x 400 and the other at 540 x 360 both from the same source DVD 720 x 480. To my eye there is no difference between the 2. I see know distortion. If all my files are going to be 720 x 480 to start with can I get away with using 540 x 360 or do I have to stick with 540 x 400

Thanks,

Thanks Rich for this detailed response. The problem is the layout that was given to me has to stay at 540 x 360. The strange thing is I’m not seeing distortion. By scaling it to 540 x 360 isn’t this still keeping the scale at a fixed proportion at least in Photoshop it is?

Thanks for your help.
