Manage to Fit Video on All Monitor with Different Aspect Ratio

About aspect ratio – the term aspect ratio refers to the width of a screen in related to height. Ration can be expressed as “width * height”. The common ratio we usually see: 4:3, 16:9, 21:9. Aspect ratio seems to be a big problem in TV nowadays. We have regular TV and wide TV, they have different aspect ratio.
4:3 means 4 units wide by 3 units high. It is the standard television format. 16:9 get the acceptance as the new standard for widescreen TV, high-definition video and DVD. 21:9 is a very wide screen format used for theatrical release movies. Video when transfer to different aspect ratio, pictures will be out of shape, shrunk or enlarged. The shape of screen has nothing to do with resolution. Most people prefer a big and wide picture regardless of resolution.

Convert Recorded Video Files to AVI

What is AVI?
Audio Video Interleave (also Audio Video Interleaved) known by its acronym AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology. AVI files can contain both audio and video data in a file container that allows synchronous audio-with-video playback. Like the DVD video format, AVI files support multiple streaming audio and video, although these features are seldom used.
To convert recorded video files to ASF, you need a converter to help you. I find a good and easy-to-use program. DVD X Player can record, play DVD and its built-in converter allows you to convert recorded video file to ASF, AVI, iPod-MP4, PSP-MP4, MPEG, etc.

Step 5, after the operation is completed, the Synchronism dialog box will pop up, just sync with your device.
