DeathNote Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Alright, so I have a ton of movies in .avi/Xvid format that are all in widescreen (most without the annoying black bars) and I have a 30GB Zune that I want to put them onto. I have a converter that I can use, but it will only convert them into 320x240 and the picture gets stretched and distorted on the Zune's screen. Im looking for a good converter that will allow me to convert the format without lossing the resolution/picture quality. Thanks for all your help.

WhenKittensATK Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Videora Zune Converter http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/zune/download/ Just tested it. It took my 1280x720 video and converted it into 320x180. So it keeps it in widescreen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxHellxRaizerxX Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Xilisoft video converter is what I use. Works with anything even .mkv and you have a lot of controls over bitrate size and compressions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Yea... Xilisoft is what I was trying to find. I used to use it when I encoding things for my phone and zune. But, I've haven't installed it in awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 How the hell do you have widescreen movies without them being in 16:9 format? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Just encode it to a 16:9 ratio resolution and you get widescreen. It won't be fullscreen wide screen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can stretch it to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 You can stretch it to fit the 16:9 aspect ratio though The Zune is 4:3 aspect ratio. You can stretch it to fullscreen, but it will lead to overscanning. You will lose some of the sides of the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathNote Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Thanks to everyone for all of your advice. I tried the Xilisoft one, but it will only allow me to convert to the 320x240 resolution. Im trying the Videora one now and will let you know how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Check the custom resolution and put it in manually, 320x180. Edited December 5, 2009 by Krazyxazn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathNote Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Check the custom resolution and put it in manually, 320x180. Where is the custom selection? I cant find it anywhere when I select the device being Zune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathNote Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 the Videora converter works AWESOME! Only issue is that the Zune software still has to re-convert the video before putting it onto the Zune (takes like another 10min.), but it works! Thank you VERY much!
