Transcoding anamorphic sources

[WeBe]

Hi,

Is there a profile available that supports anamorphic sources? Almost all videos in WMV that I have is anamorphic. In fact, that is the most common format for DVD's and TV shows in Europe. File properties returns 720x576, but the real size can vary, most commonly 1024x576 (1.78:1). But of course, 1.85:1 and even 2.35:1 can exist.
If auto-detecting of the "pixel-size" isn't possible, can you please give instructions on how to hard-code to 1024x576. Whatever I have tested gives a 4:3 output of 720x576.

regards,
WeBe

PS. I had a custom profile that worked in WMS 0.9, but that doesn't work anymore in version 1.3 to 1.4.1

When transcoding should be used real size. When playing the original source, possible problems, but they belong to the device.

More information is needed, version 0.9 was not.

I followed the instruction in other thread here in this forum to correct the aspect ratio from 720x576 to 1024x576. In essence you have to create a custom profile with a content like this:

Code: Select all

"<WMSMPEG>" "<VLC>" -Idummy --language=en --sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=7000,fps=25,width=1024,height=576,scale=1,aspect=16:9,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=mpeg1,dst="<OUTPUT FILE>"}} "<INPUT FILE>"
