I have some AVIs that are in widescreen and when I have tried to convert them to MPEG to burn as a VCD, is stretched out the video. I forget the programs I tried to use to convert but I tried every setting that seemed like it was suppose to hold the widescreen but it never seemed to do it. How can I keep the ratio when converting?

to keep the widescreen effect you must choose the option 'full screen - keep aspect ratio' when using TMPGenc.exe

That dosent do it. It converts to the MPEG but it is still wide screen and not creating the black bars needed to burn onto a VCD without stretching things out

in the advanced settings make sure your SOURCE ASPECT RATIO says 16:9 display,and as the other person said have full screen(keep aspect ratio as well,hope this helps
