"I replied before reading this post. Some of the 720p (528, 544) and all of the 576 are NOT HD formats and are even NON standards.
They have been croped and the black bars to bring them to standard frame size has been removed."
- Really? I stated this already.
Again I work for a huge communications company and my main duty here is to work on the MPEG4 encoding for our HD service. I know these are not standard resolutions but I think you miss the point of a HTPC and the digital age we find ourselves in. Me and tons of other gents who have utilized HTPC to display their digital media on a tv have never used "Standards" We maximize the quality and size of the movie while maintaining the OAR. Your usage of standard in relation to abunch of encoded digital age videos is kind of strange actually.
Edit:
Nice work Nul the current code looks great. Should pretty much handle everyones different movie types.
I'm too in the digital age
That's why I was proposing nul7 to put an advanced config so that we can obtain what we like.
I wanted to avoid confusion for all the people that is not full into the video formats and could get confused.
Regarding black bars: sorry I read the tread but missed the point.
I wonder why you did that, have you got any major advantage in the file size?
because with a non standard size either the pc player will put them back or you'll have quite heavy distortion. From the tests I did a while ago there was not a real difference in having the bars or not as they are always the same thus quite "cheap" to encode.
I agree with you on the "Your usage of standard in relation to abunch of encoded digital age videos is kind of strange actually" but I distinguish quite heaviliy from content I watch on the PC and the one one I watch on TV (full HD 1080p).
For the first every format, size, AR, etc is fine
For the second the more strange it gets the worst the final quality as either the PC will have to fo internal scalings either (and worst) the TV itself.
That's why....
nul7: wow the code is quite complex
