As you might have noticed, the aspect ratio option has been changed. The new option has 4 choices as shown above. Here I explain the feature of each option.
1. Keep DAR
This will keep the original DAR (display aspect ratio) for the output file. In this case, changing the resolution won’t affect the display aspect ratio.
2. Keep PAR
This will keep the original PAR (pixel aspect ratio) for the output file. This is usually used when you are applying cropping (but no resizing which cause screen geometric change).
3. Set DAR
This will set the DAR of output file to your specified value (the value can be entered or chosen in the blank next to the aspect ratio option). This is usually used when you change the DAR of the original file or apply cropping + resizing to fit for screen geometric size different from the original target.
4. Set PAR
This will set the PAR of output file to your specified value (the value can be entered or chosen in the blank next to the aspect ratio option) . This is usually used when you change the PAR of the original file. This is usually used when you know the target PAR and want to control the DAR through resolution.
How do I decode/encode for Phillips Aria players which use SMV video????
Hey there sir, I don’t know if you’re the author of Media Coder, but if you are, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your program (sorry there was no contact emails so I’m writing this here). I use it all the time to transcode audio from videos and also to transcode videos for my MP4. Since I’ve tried to stop using pirated software, your program has been all the more a blessing to me. THank you so much. I’m praying GOd will bless you.
