Aspect Ratio Poll

tiger32kw · 02-25-2007, 08:43 PM

Just curious how I should prepare videos that are widescreen format. I personally prefer to keep the original aspect ratio, stretched things just don't mesh well with my brain.

if its originally widescreen, yeah keep it in its original.
widescreen is always better!

i find it kind of annoying while watching it on my zune if it is in widescreen.

i can understand that as well, since the zune is a small screen

Keep the widescreen, or the new video seems squished..

Widescreen please. Much better.

you know after watching like 2-3 movies on the Zune, im starting to not like Widescreen. we have a small screen size on the zune anyway, so reducing movie sizes that small now..seems to just kill the eyes.

i personally cant stand it if it is vertically stretched to 4X3, I will just not watch it or re convert it

just my personal pet peeve.

The 16:9 videos I put at like 320x200 I'm fine with, but the Academy 1.85:1 videos that are like 320x182 I can't stand. Too small, people! Most of the time, I just bump that 182 up to 200ish, and hardly notice the difference. A neat little program I have called Aspect Ratio Calculator is great for figuring out exactly what a video needs to look like, I'd recommend it highly. You'll have to Google it, I don't remember the link.

some of the videos we're doing are 320 x 240, even that to me seems okay, but kinda small. i guess i just have to get used to watching videos on the zune.
