Wrong Aspect Ratio for NTSC 704x480 DVDs

[FlavorFlav]

hi,

everytime i try to play a NTSC DVD with a resolution of 704*480 VLC violates the 4:3 aspect ratio.
VLC stretches the window to 1280x480 (2,6 : 1).

here is a small sample dvd (6MB): https://www.dropbox.com/s/kjvdfg6dcv8w9 ... tratio.zip

I tried with this 2 versions:
VLC 2.0.6
VLC 2.1.3

You have to open dvd folder to see the problem. when you open the vob file directly the aspect ratio is ok.
the ifo file specifies 4:3.

Is this a bug? or is something wrong with my dvd?

If you play only VTS_01_1.VOB does well, at 4:3, but if you do it as a video DVD that's when played badly. The error must be in the DVD authoring and not in Videoland player. It is my opinion.

Greetings.

yes correct, like i said. the single vob files play correct, but not the DVD. At the moment i can't really belive, it is the DVD authoring. tried 2 different DVD Auothring softwares. for 720x480 aspect ratio is fine, but for 704x480 VLC destroys the aspect ratio.

for the VIDEO_TS.ifo the software ifo edit says me this specifications:

Code: Select all

Video Manager Menu attributes: Video: MPEG-1 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (pan-scan & letterboxed) Number of Title Play Maps: 1 (VMG_PII_SRPI) TIitle 1: VTS_O1_*, IIN_1 (Angles: 1) (Chapters: 1) (Start Sector 8) Number of Video Iitle Sets on this DVD: 1 (VMG_V'IS_AIRI) TIitle Set 1: VTS_1 Video: MPEG-2 704x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (not specified perm.display) VTS_1 Audio 1: Not Specified (Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC

and for the VTS_01_0.ifo

Code: Select all

Menu attributes: Video: MPEG-1 720x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (pan-scan a letterboxed) TIitle Set (Movie) attributes: Video: MPEG-2 704x480 (NTSC) (NTSC 525/60) (4:3) (not specified perm.disp1ay) Audio 1: Not Specified (Dolby AC-3) 2ch 48Kbps DRC (ID: 0x80)

so everything is set correct to 4:3 and other players like MediaPlayerClassic and PowerDVD play it with correct ratio aspect. only VLC has the problem

How played in the domestic dvd player (no pc)?

all authored videos burned to a dvd media playing correct at 4:3... the only player who has aspect ratio problems is vlc

it would help a lot if somebody has a 704x480 dvd, which is displayed correct.
