Hi,

i'd like to know how you encode from dvd to WMV without a bad aspect ratio.

I work with a movie on dvd , in NTSC system.
When i click on "show media file properties" i can see "resolution 720 * 480".

I'd like another resolution for my wmv file.

In the "resize box" I enter width = 450.

I tried everything, i mean :

- ratio : source ratio (1.33)
- ratio : 4 x 3

For both : resize : Preserve aspect ratio (with "don't create a letter box" check and uncheck) , and "preserve aspect ratio no letterbox"

for each test the face of the character is never perfect.
I choose Mode: bilinear.. To be honest i don't really understand this setting and i don't know what to choose.

When you have to encode a dvd to wmv what settings do you choose to keep a perfect aspect ?

thank you.. and sorry for my bad english, i'm french

We announce the release of VideoCharge 3.7!

The present release includes:

1. Vast bug-fix for the previous version.
2. Support of MP3 Audio output format.
3. Ability to add Header/Footer video to the primary video file (for Pro and Full versions).
4. DV decoding support.

The major feature of VideoCharge v.3.7 is ability to add Header video, Footer video or both of them to the primary movie. In other words, if one has a great number of movies and wants the very same small video logotype to be added at the beginning/end of all these movies, no .bat files are required anymore.



Add necessary movies, indicate Header/Footer video, click Run and that's all.

We announce the release of VideoCharge 3.6!

The present release includes:

1. Bug-fix for the previous version.
2. Support of FLV (*.flv) and SWF (*.swf) formats, possibility to create animated GIFs.
3. Possibility to imply color edging effect to text watermarks.

SWF and FLV video files decoding/encoding are now supported. MPEG Audio Layer-3 and Uncompressed codec types are available for audio stream encoding and Screen Video, Sorenson H263, On2 Truemotion VP6 - for video stream encoding. It is recommended to install DirectShow Filters (it can be found at www.on2.com) for proper working with On2 Truemotion VP6 codec.
Express functinality is also supported for these formats, owners of VideoCharge Express and VideoCharge Full can work with FLV and SWF files without preceding decompression and repeated compression!
It's common knowledge that FLV and SWF formats do not support indexes, and one can watch .swf or .flv file from beginning to end only. VideoCharge creates indexes for such files that enables working with them the same way as with any other indexed files. Splitting and joining scenes (can be done without re-compression as well), creation of thumbnails and other required operations become possible!

Possibility to create animated GIFs of any Video file or sequence of Image files is added. Also it's possible to specify the number of frames, playback speed and other parameters of the produced GIF.

Color edging effect makes it possible to accentuate the edges of a watermark with a color so as to make watermark pretty visible regardless of video content. That is, if you imply say white watermark on a movie, the watermark will look tiptop in scenes that have dark hues dominating. However it won't look ditto in scenes with prevalence of light hues. Edging completely resolves the problem:



Open Edging tab in the Watermark Editor window, set Edging Type = Stroke. Below specify color (we recommend to use color that is contrary to the watermark's one) to be applied and number of pixels to be affected with edging. That's it!

We announce the release of a new product built on the basis of VideoCharge for Professionals!

The given product allows to execute splitting files (by time, by size, into equal parts), joining files, etc without precedent decompression and repeated compression! VideoCharge Express allows to speed up your work hundreds times more!

Now you can:

• split a two-hour video file literally in a few minutes!
• remove needless scenes (e.g. commercials) from a movie!
• extract required scenes from a movie and create thumbnails out of the first scenes' frame!
• join a few files of the same type into a single one without tiresome waiting!
• preprocess non-seekable .wmv file in order to make it seekable!

Besides, VideoCharge Express inherits wide functionality from VideoCharge for Profesionals (except re-compression potential): support of command line, working with folders, etc.

We hope you'll find our new product wholesome!

We announce the release of VideoCharge version 3.5!

The present release includes:

1. Bug-fix for the previous version.
2. Support of decoding MPEG-4 format (*.mp4), support of working with *.3gp and *.3g2 files (in the presence of QuickTime Player 7 installed).
3. Potentiality of processing folders with files , which allows to process any quantity of files distributed among different folders per one click.

Now there's no need to add tons of files manually; it's enough to specify the root folder, enable subfolders' revision if necessary, specify file mask (e.g. *.avi) and start the encoding. VideoCharge for Professionals will process all the files in series keeping the original hierarchy of folders unchangeable, which will repeatedly simplify the work for all users who use VideoCharge for stream processing of Video or Image files!
