Ubuntu Multimedia :: PiTiVi Rendered Video Has Wrong Aspect Ratio
May 8, 2010
I have a video edited in Pitivi. The source files were recorded from a VHS tape, so it's NTSC size (720x480).
Problem is that when I render it the output looks stretched vertically. When I play it in Totem Movie Player, the aspect ratio option can be changed from "Auto" to "4:3 TV" and then it looks correct.
How can I render the output file with a different aspect ratio?
I tried going into Project Settings and adjusting the Video Output height and width, but this doesn't change the aspect ratio. Also tried PAL and VGA instead of NTSC. What should I try next?
Using the version of Pitivi that comes with a fresh install of 10.04 LTS.

I have just installed 11.04 on an eeePC B602 connected to my LG TV over HDMI
All runs fine, except the video is at the wrong aspect ratio. (this results in everything looking too fat!
Running the Preferences->Monitor utility shows that I have 1024x768 resolution selected at 75Hz (good!, as that is what the TV manual recommends), but it says that the aspect ratio is 4:3, but I want 16:8
Running xrandr gives:
Interesting, the physical dimensions reported 828mm x 620mm which is 4:3, but I want 694x393mm (I measured it with a ruler), which is 16:9
The card is a Radeon HD3400 series
So, what do I do next, in the good-old-days, you could just edit xorg.conf, but it seems that this no longer exists.
I am guessing that there is an xrandr command to change it, but after reading the man page for a while and playing around, could not get it to work.

I have a weird problem, which I suspect may have something to do with Ubuntu 10.10.
A while ago I started using a program called Imagination to create DVD slide shows, and Bombono to add menus etc. to the output from Imagination. Both programs worked like a dream. The weird part is, a test video I created using Imagination on 6/12/2010 can be imported into Bombono without any trouble. However, a new slide show I created today, cannot be imported - I get an error message from Bombono saying that the aspect ratio is 5:4, and not 4:3 or 16:9.
The only thing that has happened between 6/12/2010 and today (17/12/2010), is a routine Ubuntu 10.10 update. Does anyone know whether it is possible that a file needed by either Imagination or Bombono (or both) may have been changed by the update?

I want Smplayer to display all videos in 16:9 aspect ratio.
I searched at google & found a solution here [URL]
Its working, with Gnome Mplayer but not with Smplayer.
Smplayer still displays all videos in their default ARs.
Suppose I arrange multiple videos in Smplayer's playlist I need to get up from my seat & change the AR, every time a new track starts playing. This is really tiresome.

I have a hdtv as a monitor hooked up to my desktop and this monitor is set to 1024X768 4:3. My monitor is suppose to be originally set 1024X768 16:9. In the nvidia X settings is not listed. So how can I change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9? My graphics card is: nvidia FX 5200 128MB (Ubuntu 10.04).

My laptop (which is without screen) supports the following resolutions: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and also few other standard resolutions, but it doesn't support 800x480. I am using the laptop as a carputer and Xenarc 700TSV touchscreen as screen, which is of 16:9 ratio and the native resolution is 800x480.
Now the problem is my old laptop doesn't support 800x480 and It is not possible to upgrade the graphics card. The closest resolution supported by the laptop is 800x600 but the output is horizontally stretched. Is it possible to vertically stretched the desktop resolution so that when I use 800x600, it actually displays 800x480 pixels after vertical scaling? And when I see this 800x600 output in my Xenarc 7 inch screen, output is horizontally stretched and aspect ratio becomes 1:1 ?

I just installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my Inspiron 1011, working great except it will not save my aspect ratio settings, I have it plugged into a 19 inch monitor, I have set the monitor at 1440X900 and disabled the built in monitor, but no matter how many times I correct it, when I log in both displays are on and set to 800X600. How do I make the settings stick?

I've just got hold of a Trust 200 graphics tablet which has an aspect ratio of 4:3. My laptop screen is wider than this and when I have an external monitor plugged in my desktop is wider still.Is there a way to get the tablet to work with the correct aspect ratio? For instance is it possible in x.org to restrict the coordinates it can work within to those of my external 4:3 monitor?

I have a friend who runs Ubuntu 9.10 on a laptop that has a 16:9 screen (1366x768) and an Intel 4500m GPU. I'm trying to figure out how to get 4:3 resolutions to display in their proper aspect ratio (black bars on either side of the image), rather than stretching to fill the whole screen. This is mostly for playing older games in fullscreen. I've tried messing with xorg.conf and xrandr a bit, but I didn't have much luck.

I am trying to get video output with mplayer on a 64 bit hp laptop running the radeonhd driver. I feel in need of a little config magic. It throws up a square box in the middle of the 1200x800 screen. My config file simply says:
xy-3:2
utf8=yes
dec@harriet:$ mplayer dvd://2 - The video bit says
MPEG-PS file format detected.
VIDEO: MPEG2 720x576 (aspect 3) 25.000 fps 9800.0 kbps (1225.0 kbyte/s)
[code].....
mplayer -vf spp, scale also gets laughed at. There is also some conflict because the agp aperature is over 4 gigs and the bios/kernel recreate one at 2 gigs. This is a lousy video combination (ATI card under linux - 'nuff said).

I'm looking for a graphics editor which will convert/resize the aspect ratio of the anamorphic images I create in-camera to their appropriate size. I'm shooting my images on film and digital. My digital camera is a Sony H50 with native 4:3 format. I'm also shooting with a Hasselblad EL/M with the standard 6x6 format.
Using my 2x anamorphic head on either camera will produce the following results: Sony H50: 4:3 > 2.66:1 (8:3) Hasselblad EL/M: 6x6 > 12x6. We're easily talking about 48"x24" or 60"x30" prints here folks! So I need to know which programs in Linux will give me the results I'm looking for.

I just finish installing 11.3. Everything works perfectly expect few issues with my display setting. I've installed SUSE on my laptop Acer Aspire 5920G and I got Samsng 226BW as my second display. How can I change the resolution of my Samsung display to 1680*1050? currently set as 1024*768 and I can't change it. Do I need to update my NVIDIA driver? if so how can I do that? finally, If I get this fixed how can I set my Samsung to be the main display?

Using Openshot, flowblade, or Kdenlive, when video gets rendered into mp4, it comes out at increased speed, both audio and video (seems like double speed but could be a different ratio)
When I play the exported mp4 with VLC for example, it shows the proper video length, not shortened. The video plays at high speed and for the second half of the video it just shows the last frame of the video until it runs out of time.
I have used Openshot extensively and have never had this problem, so I installed all the other video editors I could, and the problem persists (pitivi has a dependency problem so I haven't been able to use it).
I have tried several video players as well, all doing the same (VLC and Smplayer)
I am running Debian stable jessie, 64 bit, xfce
Code: Select allcpu:

I use Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04, and usually I record my desktop with the program "Record my Desktop", the format of the video is: .ogg, when I had Ubuntu Karmic Koala, I recorded my screen then in kdenlive added audio and effects and all's right, but now i update to Lucid Lynx, and trying to edit my video in Kdenlive and I obtain this screen(I attached my screen), I noticed that the new video that I record after the upgrade of Ubuntu, I can't view the preview with Kdenlive, but with the old record, I can view the preview. And also i noticed that with pitivi, the new program to edit videos of Lucid Lynx, works fine, with new and old recordings, don't have problem.

i am trying to export a video from pitivi in a format that can be uploaded to videos. i found this thread which suggests using an flv muxer with the l.a.m.e. mp3 encoder. my problem is that my pitivi doesn't list lame as an option, and i haven't been able to get it in.
i have tried reinstalling lame from the repositories, and also building lame, ffmpeg, gstreamer, faac, x264 and pitivi from the latest source. i simply can't get a video format to export that works in videos. mp4 and other format exports don't seem to work at all, they get stuck on the first frame.
pitivi can export ogg video perfectly, however if i try to upload that to videos it comes out with bad video. i've tried converting the ogg video to avi with mencoder, but it drops a lot of frames and ends up with the audio badly out of sync. i've run out of ideas to try -- anyone been through this before, or know of something i may be doing wrong? i'm certainly no expert in building from source (or anything!), it just seemed like something to try...

I can't for the life of me find the option to encode my video in H264 in Pitivi. There's just about every other codec imaginable in the list. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit and everything is up to date.

This was an ia32libs problem, now fixed in latest updates. I tried to remove and purge and reinstall through terminal. No success. PITIVI is installed but when I click on the launcher in the applications menu nothing happens.

Pitivi crashes when I import a video to the timeline, tried with diferent formats and mp4 mostly, it's also not that good... I needed to do some things that I used to do with Vegas but with any success. Cinelerra looks like crap and prompts a lot of errors I need a really GOOD video editting tool.

I made a video with PiTiVi and rendered it in quicktime format and then went and played it on a Mac and the color was all green and really messed up. I rendered the same video in asf format and went and played it on a Windows computer at it was the same way.

I am running ubuntu 10.04 with the fglrx driver installed with apt-get. I have an ATI Radeon HD AGP with 512MB of video ram. My bios window size is 64MB. The Xorg.0.log file shows that 512MB is recognized. I also tried checking the /proc/mtrr file and it shows two values one I believe is my ram size which looks to be correct at 1.5GB the other is 512MB which I think is my video ram size, but when I do an lspci -v the video ram size shows 256MB. I am trying to run Doom 3 and it only allows me to use 256MB of memory.

I have been doing some very basic editing in Pitivi and how to get it to encode to X.264. I'm encoding to 480p and I was wondering how do I change the setting to make make it encode to X.264 and look good at small or ok file sizes. I will be uploading these to ..... and want them to look sexy.
And if X.264 can't encode to X.264 then at lest how do I turn the quality up in the formats that it does support.

with windows and sony vegas 9 i am used to often rendering with compressed hd avi and uncompressed audio, as this gets mangled far less by videos's compression policy if you have music in your videos, in my case home-made with acoustic guitar. with my two current installations of ubuntu 10.04 on a laptop and pc no output format i've tried lets the raw audio option work, which is the only option that looks like it would keep my wav files as they are. the rendered video is silent, with totem displaying the icon for muted sound when the film is played. unmuting doesn't correct this.
is this a bug or are there other codecs to add for this? aiff would be fine even i think. i wondered if changing the bit rate of aac from the 256000 i currently have entered (rather than the default 128000) to the bit rate of uncompressed audio might force what i need, kind of like ms's newer lossless wma.
i installed the restricted extras packages. there is quite a list in the pitivi options including a lot of ffmpeg stuff. i don't know if additionally vlc's codecs are added or anything like that.

I have a JVC Everio video camera that records directly DVD compliant mpeg files. Does anyone have a solution how to prevent re-rendering the files since that takes a lot of time and usually the end result is worse than the original one...If PiTiVi does not enable this can anyone propose some other program to do this?

Ok, so I found PiTiVi after upgrading to Lucid and figured, great, maybe I can stop using my Mac for video editing. Extra bonus, my Mac can't really handle the MTS files my small camera makes.
PiTiVi can load them as clips, and right-clicking on a clip and selecting "Play Clip" works just fine.
However, when I copy clips to the timeline in order to create an actual video, I can't play it or move the playback head. Pressing space does nothing, selecting "Preview -> Play" does nothing, clicking on the timeline does nothing. I can still move clips around, delete them, rearrange them, etc, but not play the video.
I can't render them, either, but I've found there's a known bug where PiTiVi won't render a video unless you move the playback head first... which I can't do.
