16:9 DVD video - how to get the original format without reencoding? | ||

| Hi, I'm just having here a 16:9 NTSC DVD video source.
My goal is to restore the orginal video format. Is there a way to change the PAR or SAR values without re-encoding the whole video? | ||

| If you just want to adjust AR (e.g. if it wasn't set properly in the first place), you can try restream or dvd patcher. But any restoration efforts will require re-encoding | ||

| Ahhh, restream seems to be good enough for this purpose.
Would be quite desirable to have a programm that could demultiplex and change it to 1:1 in one step^^ | ||

| DVD video is never "1:1". None of the available pixel aspect ratios give square pixels.
Cheers, David. | ||

| Ok so then wht do I do when I change it to square pixels...I know the DVD doesn't have that setting...but what you are saying is just a little confusing to me o.o | ||

You resize and reencode. DVDs are only 4:3 or 16:9, never 1:1. | ||

| Well, it seems to have worked with restream |
