I'm trying to convert my DVD to mkv but when i do the aspect ratio seems to go awol making the mkv file awful to watch, now i have to admit i know very little about aspect ratio, i know the difference between 4:3 and 16:9 and that's about it, while playing the dvd in the pc and using powerdvd the info i can gain is as follows:
TV System 625/50 (PAL)
Aspect ratio 16:9
Source picture resalouction 720x576 (625x50)
However once i have done the conversation the video playback (using media player classic) with a video of 1365x552, however MPC also states "Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x552 (455:184) 25.00fps [Video]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo [Audio]" the upshot is the video looks pants, here is my activity log for this session, I hope it's of some help but please bear in mind i'm new guys, i'm happy to learn but for now best if you work on the basis of i know very little, you won't be far wrong.
