Creating Preset Ignored Max Video #72

Closed daworm closed 13 years ago

daworm commented 13 years ago

I created a preset for my Sansa Fuze and successfully imported it. According to:

http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/29

the maximum resolution is 224x176. So I set the min/ma width to 224,224 and min/max height to 176,176.

When I transcode a video, though, my height is correct but my width is not. I'm assuming this is because my source material is widescreen, and my device is not. How is this supposed to be handled? Should it put the video in letterbox? Destroy the aspect ratio? Clip the edges? I assume this is a choice the user should make, but I don't know how to create presets with these options. Is this something I'd have to look into GStreamer to figure out?
