Converting existing widescreen AVI's (DivX, XviD) into anamorphic (16:9)

Hi all!

Before you guys rip me a new one, yes I searched. I searched and spent a good 30 minutes reading all the threads and couldn't find a simple answer to my question.

I've got episodes of SNL, CSI, etc that I've downloaded. They are in widescreen format, but obviously not anamorphic.

I recently added a deck to my car that plays DVD's, AVI's, DivX files, etc. If I playback a widescreen video it stretches it more than needed as the file is not anamorphic.

I've got pretty much all the utilities needed to rip DVD's, but I don't know if I have one that will convert files into true 16:9.

My objective is to take the downloaded shows and turn them into real anamorphic 16:9 clips.

Is this possible with individual video clips like the studios do with their DVD's?

I'd appreciate your feedback!

Thanks a million AD!

 

vso convertxtodvd that should take care of your problem, you can use the program as a trial but it will leave a watermark on the dvd until you buy the product, hope this helps good luck happy burning have a nice day

 

I own ConvertXToDVD.

Problem is that it will convert a 300MB~ file into a full DVD, which is not the objective that I'm shooting for.

I just want to re-encode/transcode a single widescreen file into true 16:9.

 

you have the program there are settings that you can burn to wide screen or full screen

 

I don't think I'm making myself clear.

I've got individual files that are already in "widescreen" such as CSI, The Office, etc.

If I play them back in my car they're double-stretched as they're not anamorphic files.

I want to convert individual files into 16:9.
