black bars top and bottom

[julien64]

hello, sorry for the translation, I'm French, I use google translation

I encode my mkv with MediaCoder some films do not have black bars top and bottom.
I would like to add a small black bars top and bottom, as the projector always a small shift in position, I caught up with black tape.
how to create the black bars?
  thank you write well for google translate well

black bars should be added by your player if the aspect ratio needs it.

but if your player doesn't and my Humax hard disk recorder doesn't. you can add them.

i have for example a video that is 1280x534 and i want to make it 1280x720 and add black bars.

in the 'picture' tab i select resize - 1280x 720
aspect ratio - 'keep pixel AR'
then hit the cropper button and in the window that comes up i select 'fit width'
You must let the cropper play beyond the title sequence.

It would help you understand what you are doing if you read the Guides on Aspect Ratio and on Cropping.
They are listed under Tips & Guides (link below).

yes it is true, but the google translation is really horrible, so hard to understand
