I notice that in the screenshot of HCencoder on the first page that the aspect ration is set at 4:3. GOUT's script resizes the movie to 16:9. Is there a conflict here? Or do I just leave it set at 4:3 as in the screenshot?

Normally HCEnc sets the aspect ratio to 16:9 automatically when the avisyth-script is loaded in the encoder.

The screenshots of all tools in this guide are samples from other encodings, so don't be confused when something looks different on the pics than it is in the final process. Sorry for that, these pics are really only samples.
