Fix Handbrake Rip DVD VOB to MP4 Aspect Ratio Distorted issue

“I’m skillful at using Handbrake so I don’t know much about it yet. I’ve ripped 720×480 VOBs using DVD Decrypter and I’m now trying to convert these huge VOBs into more size-friendly MP4s with Handbrake. However, when I check “Keep Aspect Ratio”, it locks the dimensions to 720×304.”

If the DVD VOB to MP4 aspect ratio distored issue is not caused by the DVD Decrypter, you can fix the trouble with the suitable settings offered in the two options below:

Solution 1: Open Handbrake on your computer, on the main interface, click “Picture” tab, under this panel, click “Anamorphic”, from its drop-down options, select “Strick”, then the output video will strictly follow with the original file size. If there are still some problem with the output resolution, you will need to check if you have select the appropriate DVD Decrypter.

Solution 2: When decoding DVD or a Video_TS folder, Handbrake would spot the mismatch (2.37:1 stream vs 1.78:1 container) and would defer to the container’s settings. If you have selected “Anamorphic” > “None” option, disable “keep aspect ration”(since the reported PAR is wrong) and manually set the frame size to 720×400.

If the aspect ratio distored issue has some relationship with the DVD Decrypter, an alternative solution for DVD Decrypter + Hanbrake will be the best solution. Pavtube DVDAid for Windows/Mac (Top 5 DVD Ripper Review) is recommended to assist you to perform DVD VOB to MP4 conversion.
