Converting mkv to DVD
settings
destination aspect ratio - 16:9
audio - mp2av
filters
aspect ratio - wide (16:9)
sws size - 720x480
Video Output
mediainfo information - encoded mpg file defaulted to a 4
:3 aspect ratio instead of the 16:9 selected.
is there a fix for this?
Thank You

16:9 (wide) display aspect ratio needs to be enabled in the configuration of the MPEG-2 "Mpeg2 (ff)" encoder. The destination pixel size of 720x480 is correct for NTSC, i.e. for 30000/1001 frame rate.
Please make sure you use the latest nightly build --> https://avidemux.org/nightly/
Thank you for the reply, here are the settings that I selected
Video Output settings
configure
aspect ratio - wide (16:9)
two threads
constant Quantizer
Quantizer - 2
resulting mpeg file defaults to 4:3 instead of the 16:9 that was selected.
