Thats what I get…

The issue is that i’m outputting using dps velocity 8.2 and it doesn’t have a 16:9 aspect ratio rather it only have a fixed size which is cuts down to when clicked… 720 x 404 … which i would think is not correct so i’m outputting 720×576 … and then i’m just adding 16:9 output when uploading to the web through ffmpeg…. i’m wanting to send the uncompressed avi to a client and i think if they see it 4:3 stretched then they won’t understand that it can be 16:9 when compressed for the web…. therefore i was wondering if ffmpeg could output 16:9 avi with a simply no quality loss conversion… i’m just quite new to ffmpeg and aren’t to sure the coding to use…
