.9 PAR with 720x480 23.976fps, need 1.0 PAR

MadScientist · Post by **MadScientist** » Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:01 pm

I have ripped several DVDs and run them through Avisynth. I ended up with .9 PAR 720x480 23.976fps. When I create a project with premiere cs3, its at 1.0 PAR and so my footage does not run at the full 16:9.and looks slightly "squished" together.

Do I have to run it through avisynth again with something else to fix that?
This is the script I copypasted from another thread. (lazyness...)

mpeg2source("F:\TACTICAL_OPS_02\VIDEO_TS\Opening02.d2v", cpu=4)
TFM(d2v="F:\TACTICAL_OPS_02\VIDEO_TS\Opening02.d2v",order=-1,field=-1,mode=5,pp=7,slow=2)
TDecimate(mode=1)

Any help would be appreciated.

read this and this
it tells you what to do for various situations using widescreen footage

Sorry for the dumb question. I actually read through that second link right after I posted and used the LanczosResize(848,480) command in a script. It worked.
Thanks for taking the time to help though.

Also, Premiere Pro seems to automatically think every video clip that's at 720x480 is 0.9 PAR (NTSC 4:3) by default. To fix this, right-click on the clip in the Library and select "Interpret Footage...", then set it how you want it.

Would it be better (quality wise) to do it that way or run the resize script on all my footage?
