Help needed with TMPGENC Xpress

"frame". I go to Filter Edit - Picture Resize - and select "center" and
check off "Keep aspect ratio" The files seem to come out fine except that
the top is cut off. In other words. There is more of the picture to see on
my original 4x3 files than in the re-encoded ones. Can anyone tell me how
to fix this?

If you want to keep the proper aspect ratio, the top/botton have to be
trimmed to convert 4x3 to 16x9. It's the exact opposite if you want to
convert a widescreen picture to 4x3... you have to crop the sides off.

What do you actually want to achieve?
1. a 16 x 9 frame with the original image filling out the full 16:9 frame or
2. pillabox the 4:3 frame within a 16:9 frame ie black bars either side..
Different solutions available..

achieve that now but, as I said the top of the picture is slightly trimmed
on the re-encoded mpg. This is what I'm trying to avoid.

Fredd,
I'm using Ver. 4.2.3.193 and I just did a test and did not get any
part of the 4:3 image cut off when processing it to 16:9.
Here's the steps I took:
Load the file as a new project.
On the Clip Properties screen, change clip settings > Aspect Ratio to
NTSC 16:6. Click OK.
Do any editing you want, then click OK.
Go to Format Screen
Choose Output Format: DVD standard MPEG file.
Change Aspect Ratio to 16:9 Specifications. Click Select.
On Encode/bitrate settings, click OK.
On the next screen, select the Video tab. Check that Aspect ratio
says "Display 16:9"
Click Encode and proceed.
Hope that helps,
DC

framed in a 16.9 format?
I usually burn 4.3 files as straight 4.3 discs -- but my hard-drive
Panasonic DVD recorder (because I have it set permanently at
widescreen) does automatically turn out 4.3 material within a 16.9
format as described (black bars at sides as well as top and bottom)
when I spit that material out on DVD. Since my 68 cm CRT television (a
German Loewe) is 100 hz and can vary its aspect ratio, I just switch
to 16.9 to view, or even 16.9 zoom, and everything's fine. I'm working
by the way in PAL -- though of course all my equipment is NTSC-
compatible as well.

players will automatically stretch the 4:3 image to "fill" the 16:9 frame
of the LCD or Plasma or some TV's do this. By setting the 16:9 flag on the
ifo file on the DVD it stops this from happening. Samsung DVD and LCD's tend
to do this well at least down here in PAL land. You can achieve the same
result by editing the IFO file to untick "automatic letterbox" and only
ticking "automatic Pan&Scan" Then you will reproduce a 4:3 in correct
aspect ratio within a 16:9 panel
