OnanistsCash · 04-29-2011, 09:01 PM

Quick question, i have a movie, which was cut and rendered with Sony Vegas from its original format to a .wmv file. Here comes the tricky part, movie when played, either with VLC or WMP, has a resolution of 656x480 ... BUT when i run a ffmpeg -i on it, it says it has a resolution of 600x480 ....

I took the time of actually capturing a frame and croping it with photoshop and its 656 and not 600 like ffmpeg its reporting, why would this could be happening? How could i fix the headers resolution? Would that have any impact on video re-rendering? As i said, VLC and WMP seems not to be giving a fuck about the incorrect headers and are playing it right, BUT, jwplayer seems to be using the header information, which i don't blame him, its correct to do that, but why the video headers could be wrong?

ffmpeg -i trailer.wmv

Input #0, asf, from 'trailer.wmv':
Duration: 00:01:04.93, start: 3.000000, bitrate: 2144 kb/s
Stream #0.0: Audio: wmav2, 44100 Hz, mono, 32 kb/s
Stream #0.1: Video: wmv3, yuv420p, 600x480 [PAR 59:54 DAR 295:216], 2065 kb/
s, 25.00 tb(r)

And yeah, the PAR/DAR parameters are also wrong, but honestly, i don't understand that technical shit, usually watch video and make sure it look good, any feedback would be appreciated :P
