My new DVB-T card/software records an anamorphic 16:9 squished into 704x576.
Target player, a VCD/MP3 portable (DAV311).
I tried Nero, and while I'm sure I set "scale & clip" (maybe it slipped to "scale & fill" - have to do another one to check), I got letterboxed format!
So either I messed up that setting, or it did just a 2:1 reduction, full frame, and marked it as widescreen (is that possible in VCD?).
Then played around with Virtualdubmod, and found that cropping 110 from each side and scaling to 352x288 seemed to work out right for size... but then is there any alternative to making an intermediate AVI, which would be quite large to avoid any other losses - frameserve?
My first thought was actually FFMPEG, but I couldn't find any crop/scale options there, at least, not identified as such.
The complication, is that unless the "compressed widescreen" is automatically adjusted for, seperate h/v scaling is required.
