    aw man, trust me they will be ugly looking! but hey, if you want to, you will need to mount the bin/cue onto a virtual drive (in alcohol 120% or something) and then use VCDEasy to extract the mpg file. this is done by clicking tools - mpeg tools and at the end cdxa2mpeg, you would load in the avseq01.dat file in the dat field and then type somewhere to save an mpg in the mpeg field! then re-encode with TMPGEnc and it will automatically stretch it to full screen!

    Hi DELA,
    Very interesting what you wrote. Thanks to you i figured out a problem that i've been having when encoding with TMPGEnc. Is there any way to encode and not let it automatically stretch the video to full screen?

    If you want a good compromise, then I would re-encode with tmpgenc and in the advanced tab and in the video arrange method, select 'no margins, keep aspect ratio' it will turn a widescreen into an amaphoric movie or if it is an amaphoric movie, it will turn it into a full screen without stretching the picture (you will lose a little on each side of the movie).

    ...If I were to keep it wide screen, would I still see everything normally on my TV...

    What I mean is, would the sides be cut off at all...__X_X_X_X_X_[small]teh n00b uv all n00bz[/small]

    sometimes a bit will disappear off the left hand side if you dont have a widescreen tv but it is not noticable, only when u see the credits a bit off to one side! lol
