Hi,

I am trying to create 16:9 aspect ratio divx file. Each time I try to do it with Dr. Divx the output file is alway under 1 MB with a total running time of (00:00:00), that is if Dr. Divx doesn't crash.

My input file is DV-AVI (NTSC) 16:9, the format captured by default (Sony DCR-HC96). I would realy like to be able to convert my wide-screen home vidoes to divx (the quality is awesome). I have been able to convert 4:3 videos without a problem.

Has anyone ran accross this problem or know how to convert 16:9 DV-AVI (NTSC) to a 16:9 divx video?

This might be easy for those

This might be easy for those with experience, but since I'm new to video editing, I find this a bit of a hassle, so please help...
I use a program named Swish for making some simple presentations.
Naturally, I use my PC with standard 15" monitor for making the presentation.
When I finish it, I convert it to mpeg format so I can view it via my home DVD player.
The question is - in what resolution should I make my material to use maximum of the plasma without stretching it.
I googled for explanations about aspect ratios but I don't quite catch that drift.
Also, for converting, I use TMPGEnc. What's the best way to preserve quality when converting from AVI to MPEG, never mind the material size in MB...
So, what should be my project's original PC resolution and what settings in TMPGEnc should I use for best results on 16:9 screen?
If you suggest some other program then TMPGEnc, tell me, and give me some basic instructions how to do it.
Thanks to whoever helps me out!

Choose another tool - DrDivx

Choose another tool - DrDivx cannot (currently) support Anamorphic encoding, so will resize to 16x9 at a 1:1 aspect ratio.

16:9 anamorphic

Same issue for me. I understand the only way is to use VirtualDub if you want DivX 6.9.2 codec to work in the right way for the native 16:9 anamorphic videos. Frustrating!
