The pixels on a dvd are not square whereas they will be after you have re-encoded it in handbrake. So I guess my question to that then is how do I Encode it so that it stretches to fit the screen without letterboxing? Ohhh ok yeah that makes a lot of sense now. So you take your width of 720 divide by 9 and multiply by 8 and you get. For a 4:3 NTSC dvd the relationship between width and height is 8/9. On the back of the Office space dvd box that Im currently trying to rip it says that it has "full screen Modified to fit your screen at 1.33:1" 1.33:1 is another way of writing 4:3 (divide 4 by 3 and you will see what I mean) What exactly do you mean by aspect ratio flag and non-square pixels. If the player supports aspect ratio flags you could maintain the 720*480 but many do not.Īlso 4:3 material should have those 'massive black bars' otherwise the video is stretched and not displayed correctly Interesting. 720*480 is just the storage ratio on the disk with an aspect ratio flag and non-square pixels that actuslly then display that dvd at 640*480. the only issue I am concerned about is that the Plex server runs on Linux and so far none of the MKV files I've made using VLC or Handbrake have worked on it.Ħ40*480 would be correct for a 4:3 video from a 4:3 dvd. I'll give MKV a try in a bit however I am unfamiliar with that program. I suppose I was trying to upscale? I assumed that ripping at the highest quality would ensure the best quality even if it didnt get to the full 1080p.

I appreciate your time and understanding in helping me with this project. I'm making this thread in the hopes of opening a line of communication as any "Guide" I've tried to follow does not run into the specific issues that I seem to run across. I've tried using VLC as well but with no such luck either as it does not have the depth of control that Handbrake gives me and I have therefore deemed it not useful except to check video's after encoding with Handbrake. I've tried messing around with "Cropping" "Dimensions" the "Anamorphic" and the "Modulus" with no success. If I play the DVD directly it loads to my screen size however after encoding the files and attempting to make them ready for transfer to the server they are all downgraded and have massive black vertical bars on the left and right side. My current problem is that I can get the DVD's to rip just fine with Handbrake, however they all change their output display video from 720x480 to 640x480. I have had varying degrees of success but keep running into snags. I am setting up a Plex server for home use and want to upload my DVD's to it. I have seen a few forum threads that touch lightly on the issues I've been running into but nothing specifically that I've tried has worked out. I am currently new to this forum so please be patient with me as most of this is very new to me.
