I am making a set of a show and I would like to know which of these sizes is better

[gilligan fanatic]

Full Screen or Wide Screen. I got Wide Screen versions of all the episodes of this years bomb "Teachers" and I just don't like Wide Screen that much. I converted one of them to Full Screen and I think it looks better. Before I convert all of them I would like to know what you all recommend. Should I stick to Wide Screen or make them Full Screen? The Red on the Wide Screen one is part of the shows opening.

I'd go with the widescreen.

A lot of this depends on what type of tv you're going to watch it on.

There are a lot of people who convert they're Wide Screen to Full screen
because they just don't like the letterbox type of format. Others get
used to it etc.

You've already said that you didn't like the widescreen. convert one disc
and then put it in your player and see what you like. It'll only cost you
one disc and a little bit of time

I like the widescreen image best. The full screen image looks squished, which makes the building and lettering look narrow.

I did what Dragonbear said and I watched them back to back on TV. Well to my suprise the Widscreen looked better than I thought it would. I didn't realize how squished the full screen looks even on a full screen TV. Thanks for your help everyone :)

Good choice. The wide screen looks great, can I ask which programme you used?

to convert it?

[jie3]

Yeah, I'm trying out different conversion programmes, to find the one I like best, and yours seems to do a good job.:)

I used this program called TMPGEncoder, you can do a lot of other stuff with it too, and the best part is its free http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_tools/tmpgenc.cfm
