Sample Aspect Ratio calcutions
Source/Encoded Resolution ( X:Y )
Desired Display Resolution/Aspect Ratio ( H:V ) The formula to calculate PAR/SAR Y ÷ X ÷ V x H = SAR fraction for example a NTSC 16:9 with resolution 720:480 480 ÷ 720 ÷ 9 x 16 = 1.185185185... (32/27) therefore the Sample Aspect Ratio that should be keyed in in MeGUI is 32x27 for NTSC 4:3 with resolution 704:480 480 ÷ 704 ÷ 3 x 4 = 0.88888...(10/11) SAR = 10x11 CROPPING without resizing won't affect the SAR Any comments on the way I calculate SAR? I took quite some time to understand that SAR is actually the ratio of every single pixel..not the ratio displayed by the video frame |
