[REL] Hey Babe! (1983)

[ghost]

I grabbed the 1080p movie from Vimeo. I had to fix the aspect ratio, because it wasn't exactly 1.85:1, but here it is:

Fantastic, thanks!

Do you mean it was squished or stretched and therefore warped?

It was a bit too much squished. Not much, but I want it to be exact.

[Night457]

It should not be squished at all, so thank you very much for fixing it!

I know when DVDs are ripped the aspect ratio sometimes is not correct. I think it's something to do with square pixels on modern monitors and TVs vs not square pixels + of course DVD's are sometimes "widescreen enhanced" with the intention of being stretched on old TVs (or having every 4th pixel dropped on a 4:3 tv that can't do widescreen enhanced - yes it's part of the DVD spec that all DVD players have to be able to do this).
Anyway I've sometimes found the best thing to do to check it's right is find a circle or wheel in the film (as long as it's square onto the camera) and physically measure it on the screen with a tape measure to check the height and width match! Sometimes even looking up the aspect ratio on IMDb can be wrong because sometimes a film could be open-matted a bit or cropped in on the new HD scan. For the Oviri upscale there was a wheel about 30mins into the film!

I was already wondering..how you are able to determine the exact correct aspect ration of a film/video. Because in rare cases none of the presets within VLC player work for a video.

Is this now a re-encode in the correct aspect ratio or how does this work? Apologies for my confusion

Of course I had to reencode the video. The quality remained the same.

Let me be the pedantic bitch I am then it’s no true WEB-DL anymore!! it’s now a WEBRip! Your release is herebye NUKED!! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuke_(warez))

No, but on a serious note - thanks! My encoding knowledge was rusty. Thought maybe aspect ration can also be specified within MKV metadata nowadays or something.

Yes, you are.

Not in this case because of the black bars. Framesize was 1920x1080 (with too big black bars).
