I have some DVDs I want to back up but some of them are a weird form of letterbox: They are widescreen but DVDFab thinks they are 640x480. The end result is black bars all around the video. I've attempted to crop the black bars but they will just show up again in the output file. Worse, I end up with a strange (tiny) resolution. I'm currently having to encode to a cfr - 0 file, import into Blender to change the aspect ratio/resolution, and then ffmpeg to get the files into h265 (because Blender doesn't have h265 and DVDFab's converter's output isn't streamable to my TV). That is processing a video 3 times, very time-consuming and lossy.
This seems to be an issue of the file lying to DVDFab about its aspect ratio/resolution (it's also lying about its fps - says it's 29.97 when it is really 23.98), is there a way to get a full widescreen image using just DVDFab? If not, can we give Fab the ability to do what I'm doing in Blender so I don't have to use it?
