setting video aspect ratio flags on netbsd

Hi,

I've heard of a tool called "IFOedit" used to
correct
aspect ratio flags on video files set incorrectly.

./pkglocate IFOedit and the like, turned up nill.

Does NetBSD have a tool that can do this folks?

many thanks,
Paul.

That seems to be a Windows-only too.

I don't know.

"avidemux" or "ffmpeg" *might* be able
to do what you want.

	Kind regards

Depending on what files you have this might get a little
laborious.

Since you're mentioning IFOedit, you're probably talking
about a
video DVD structure. As the aspect ratio is not only stored
in the
IFO (and BUP) files but also in the MPEG (VOB) files
themselves, you
may need to re-author the DVD to get what you want.

There's a Java tool called "ProjectX" that can
change the aspect
ratio of MPEG files while demuxing:

(But beware that this is a very powerful but not the most
intuitive
program...)
