Does this present a problem at all? Reason we picked that size is because we wanted them big as possible, and any bigger they were getting grainy.
I could never figure out if that was standard for mpeg's to be able to render them in wacky sizes.
And...do you have any standard resolutions that are safe for mpeg's that will show the same size on all platforms, software etc?
Thanks! |
Hey there,
so does 416x304 cause any problems? No... you're just creating a distorted image with an aspect ratio of 26:19.
If it looks good to you, all the better. Just keep in mind that most players have standard sizes, either they are calibrated for 4:3 or 16:9 (or both). So if they play the clip in full screen in some apps, part of the video will be cut off.
And as for standards, well, the resolution game is a science my friend. My advice is to just stick with this industry's standards : 720x480 (for DV content), 640x480 for anything else.
Lower resolutions, well you have 480x360, then 320x240. Anything else underneath that is pretty low-res.
With Mpegs you can step outside the bounderies of ratios... but, for what? You're simply creating distorted images.
