DVD Conversion really Thin

Converted a DivX using ConvertXtodvd and the result is a very thin view of the film, ie the black bars above and below the film are much bigger than before conversion. The film is probably about a fifth of the screen.

It is fine viewing it as an .avi on my pc, it is after converting that it gets squashed!

Any ideas?

Thankyou.

What settings do you have in TV Format and Video Processing?

Both set to Automatic.

NTSC source I assume? Are you playing on a PAL set?

Not sure of source. (Notorious : LTRG)

Player is multi region, but I am in the UK ??

Cheers

Check the settings on your dvd player I have a liteon that does exactly what you have just described.I just use the zoom feature to enlarge the picture.

I've had this issue watching NTSC burns on a PAL player, where I didn't reset the region. Can't remember exactly why it happens, but I re-encoded to PAL and it fixed it for me.

Ok cheers. Tried setting to PAL and NTSC and it did the same.

I'll zoom in when I watch it.

Thanks.
