What do you mean converted? Do you mean cropped ie removing bits from the top and bottom and side or what?

If you want to crop then open the 'secret menu' in AutoGK (cnt F9) and take a look at the possibilities. You can also force aspect ratio's of 16:9, 4:3 and original.
A bit more information would be helpful

ok, i capture game clips using fraps at my native lcd resolution of 1920x1200. when i upload them to youtube they have black bars on the left/right and don't fill the whole "available space". i want to crop? my 1920x1200 clips to a size that will make it so that the youtube hd clips have no bars anywhere. as a test, i played a game at 1680x1050, recorded a clip, uploaded it to youtube, and it was perfect - no bars and it took the whole space. but i don't want to play games at less then my maximum resolution.

You can Crop your video to 1920x1080 and then resize to 1280x720. Avisynth will help you here, don't know about AGK.

i'll look into it, avisynth. but i don't think after i crop it to 1920x1080 i should then also resize it to a lower resolution. i'll just upload it as is and let youtube do whatever it does. otherwise the quality may be worse.

1920x1200 has the same 1.6:1 aspect ratio as 1680x1050, so I'm not sure why one works to do what you want but not the other. They both should have small black bars on the sides.

You might try adding this to your tags and see if it does what you want:

yt:stretch=16:9

i doubt it's me alone. as far as i know this will happen to anyone who uploads a 1920x1200 clip to youtube. as a test why don't you try it ? record a clip, even a short one, say 10 seconds at 1920x1200 and simply upload it to youtube - without any modifications whatsoever. (except akg to shrink it's actual size, which is what i do.) you will have two large black bars on the left and right sides. i also uploaded a 1680x1050 clip as seen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57kwfK4bCKE&fmt=22), which has no bars and is a full "screen" clip. i don't understand why this happens.


edit: and actually, the above gtr2 clip was recorder at 1680x1080 so that's why technically even this video has very tiny black bars at each side. just now i'm uploading a proper 1680x1050 clip and will post the link here.

edit 2: why aren't questions fully answered here ? i asked why this forum doesn't allow embedding youtube clips directly into the forums. links are so passe. (unless they do, and then, what's the code?)

The reason why I didn't answer the embedding question is that I don't know why this forum doesn't allow embedding of YouTube videos. Nor do I much care whether it does or not.

thanks man, that seems to do it..

you're the man.

proof that youtube is just plain stupid. it's obvious with this fix, that it's something on their side. anyway all is cool now, since i can continue to play my games at 1920x1200 and not have to downgrade to a lower resolution.

again.
