Aspect Ratios -- FAQ? (WMM & TVC)
Hi, all:
I'd like to try making vids from multiple sources which have differing original aspect ratios.
I read all the responses to super kc 's similar Q below. However, it was all too techy for me, and I couldn't follow the discussion very well.
Also, I use different (less sophisticated) software. I use DVDDecryptor and Total Video Converter to rip my DVDs and convert the source to .avi files. Then I import the .avi files into Windows Movie Maker for editing.
So, in really simple language, in terms that even a Luddite like me can understand, could someone please tell me how I can change the aspect ratio of .avi files or individual clips?
Would it look better to convert my 16:9 source material to 4:3 ratio, or vice versa?
Any help or hand-holding would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Pyrate Anny
