movieout/Touch aspect ratio - advice (again)?

I’m confused.

In Touch I’m looking at a 720x480 window rendered at (x/y aspect) 1/.66667 aspect ratio. It looks the right size, the right aspect.

I write a movie out and when I open it with quicktime it looks shorter in X, a bit squashed.

Movieout shows me the same squashed frame… the top before it looks just fine.

I know greg had explained the weirdness of the aspect ratios, but it looks like I have to use an aspect ratio (like 2/1 that has nothing to do with 720x480 - instead of 1.5/1 - to make it look decent).

Any advice?

The aspect ratio is ignored in Movie Out. It just renders out the movie at the given resolution.

this is the perfect spot for a custom user component I guess :slight_smile: - pass the aspect ratio, render the appropriate resolution considering the AR then scale to the right res.

which is what I’ve done.
