First of all, please excuse my "dumb-ness". I am a newbie to this. I have a question about transferring MP4 to DVD. The mostly freeware software I have will not allow me to retain the original 640 X 480 of the MP4 files when transferring to VOB files. Instead they all show only two choices 720 X 480 (4:3) NTSC or 720 X 576 (4:3) PAL. Is there any way to retain the original 640 X 480 while transferring to NTSC for use on a DVD player? Does it matter if the size is changed to 720 X 480 or will the resulting video look distorted? Or am I totally missing something???

You need to learn about PAR.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.

I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!

Thanks. Yeah another member has already set me straight on this. Got to admit though, for a newbie it is all very confusing.
