Here is a link to a test video that seems anamorphic.

comment:2 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 11 years ago

Why do you think that what ffprobe shows is incorrect?

comment:4 by flamingspew, 11 years ago

Shouldn't it say 1:1 for square?

Also, when I converted with normal scale params, it was stretched-- So i tried this to fix it:

--custom-anamorphic --display-width 1280 --keep-display-aspect --modulus 8 --crop 0:0:0:0

and it made the aspect work. That bit of CLI command I found when trying to fix anamorphic ratios. Is this video not really anamorphic?

Also, the sample_aspect_ratio and the display_aspect_ratio are the same here, but I suspect they are really not for this video.

Updated my comment to provide correct code that 'fixed' anamorphic problems.

comment:6 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 11 years ago

Replying to flamingspew:

Shouldn't it say 1:1 for square?

Afaict, the file does not contain any aspect information (but this may of course be wrong, that is why I asked you why you think what ffprobe shows is wrong).

Also, when I converted with normal scale params, it was stretched

Please provide your failing command line together with the complete, uncut console output.

Also, the sample_aspect_ratio and the display_aspect_ratio are the same here, but I suspect they are really not for this video.

They are the same because both are not set.

To get info:

-print_format json -show_format -show_streams {originalPath}

To Convert and Fix for Aspect Problem:

convertParams = " --input \"" + sourceFilePath + "\" --ipod-atom --width 1280 --custom-anamorphic --display-width 1280 --keep-display-aspect --modulus 8 --crop 0:0:0:0 --optimize --encoder x264 --aencode faac --ab 128 --mixdown stereo --rate 29.97 --cfr --vb " + keyPair.Value + " --output " + path;

comment:8 by Carl Eugen Hoyos, 11 years ago

If conversion with FFmpeg leads to a file with incorrect aspect please provide the (exact) command line that produces the incorrect output for you together with the complete, uncut console output.

comment:9 by flamingspew, 11 years ago

Priority: normalminor

Thanks for bearing with me.

Oh man, just looked through 3 repositories and 20 different versions-- can't find the original offending CLI command. I'm downgrading to minor until I can reproduce.

I guess then 0:1 means not set, definitively then, correct? If that is so, I will close unless I can reproduce.

Status: newclosed

Afaict, the file does not specify a sample aspect ratio and FFmpeg does not show an aspect ratio.
Please reopen if you believe anything can be fixed in FFmpeg about this sample.
