DVD burning-squashed picture

[zaccary]

When I burnt a video file to a DVD the picture was squashed considerably. I mean that the picture only occupied about one quarter of the total screen size. But in the preview window before I started to burn the video the picture was fine.

I’m not sure if it is the program I am using but I have found no ways to write the movie so the picture is as it should be.

Also in the same breath the movie is in two .avi clips and a .sfv file. They were ripped like that (not in an image file) I was wondering how to burn the file so I would get all the original DVD data like the menu and such. If that is possible.


thank you.

The sfv file is just a file checker. If you have two avi's there's no way you are going to get dvd menus etc. Unless you re-author the avis as a proper dvd (which means converting to mpeg2 and having an authoring program), all you can do is put them on a data dvd for storage, which you already have.

Re video size, that may just be due to the players you are using or the settings you have made for them. It makes no difference if you are running them on your pc or from a data dvd.
