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.

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.
