I wanted to resize a 720x480 video (from an NTSC DVD) to 720x576, to make it match my PAL DVD video footage.
So I went to Crop/Resize, enabled Resize, and I set the Target resolution to 720x576.
The result looked a little weird. Stretched vertically. It makes sense, considering I increased the height. I realised that my 720x576 footage is shown in video players as if it's 768x576. In my video player I found this "display aspect ratio" value that said 4:3. So I concluded that the problem with my converted 480p video could possibly have to do with that.
In the Crop/Resize tab, I found Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR), and I decided to set Input PAR to 4x3, thinking that would solve my problems. I believe the values were set to 7x8 by default.
Interestingly, the (displayed) aspect ratio of the video did change after doing this, but not in a good way. The display aspect ratio became 5:3. And the video looked horizontally stretched, with a display resolution of 960x576.
I was hoping you could help me out. Was I messing with the wrong values in Hybrid? How can I make my video 720x576 with a display resolution of 768x576?
