I know this is two threads in a row...

I recently got a new PC (YAY!) with a DVD+/- Burner. I have made some attemps at burning downloaded videos, but I'm having a problem... ASPECT RATIOS.

To encode the video, i use TMPGEnc Plus, using the NTSC 16:9 preset. (Most of my downloaded AVIs are Widescreen). I set the arrangement setting to whatever looks best in the preview window, but when I actually try to play the encoded files, they are either squat or stretched vertically! Can anyone help me?
Thanks
EDIT: I'm also having trouble with certain AVIs. According to VirtualDub, they have a few Bad Frames. Is there any way to fix this WITHOUT redownloading the file... (i'm still on dialup, and downloading movies at school is really hard, theyr'e deleted several times a month)

In the size field (directly above aspect ratio) make sure it's set to the right size, make sure it matches the source file's. Now, on the advanced tab, there's a source aspect ratio - make sure you set that to the right one too!

(just thought I'd throw this out there)

don't know much about DVD burners or software that does it, but the problem you describe sounds like you're trying to play an anamorphic DVD on a 4x3 television but your DVD player thinks you're using a 16x9 television. if this is indeed the case, simply adjust your DVD player settings.

failing that, follow Yiffy Kitten's advice.

This would work, however, none of the aspect ratios match the video i'm encoding... it's 2.37:1 (528x222). The closest option in TMPGEnc is 2.11:1. I guess I'll just center the video and use a custom size (720x303). It's not exactly the same aspect ratio, but it's fairly close. I just hope it will look alright on my DVD player...
