I have a question. When I call your function with a 720x480 (ntsc) source, using DGIndext to frameserve an mpeg, it still produces a 720x480 output.

Ie:

I created an avs script using a d2v file of a DGIndex frameserved mpg source with these commands:

lanczos4resize(688,508)
crop(0,14,0,-14)
addborders(16,0,16,0)
panorama(3)


In virtualdub I the loaded that script to produce an xvid file. I expect that the output avi resolution would have been 720x405 to yield 16:9 AR, however the avi was still 720x480. I am wondering does it automatically get stretched to the proper 16:9 AR whem played back on widescreen? Because on my 4:3 computer monitor the image appears stretched vertically.
Whats interesting is when I play the avs script in WMP, the AR appears to be 16:9 on my 4:3 computer monitor (letterboxed). The outputed final xvid avi product however plays back on my 4:3 monitor as being stretched vertically to fill the screens with no letterbox. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
