No, that's not the only solution with MPEG4 output. One is to rescale the movie to correct for aspect ratio before encoding.

The second, and the one that I use, is to embed the aspect ratio information in the MPEG4 stream and have the scaling applied by the final player.
Woa! That's right what I looked for. But aspect option is NOT in libavc-options.txt so it shouldn't exist! But it exists and works...
Heh. The documentation is, as with most OSS projects, not the best way to find out *all* the tricks that things are capable of. I found that one out by reading the source. :) OTOH, mplayer has significantly better documentation than most of the packages out there. Oh, and if anyone wants to include my description into the libavc-options.txt file, feel free. Daniel -- In seeking the unattainable, simplicity only gets in the way. -- Alan J.
