Hello,
I've some movies with resolution of 1280x1024 .. Those are screen capturing that I recorded with recordmydesktop ... when I open and work with them on LiVES everything is fine ... but when I try to save them, as ogg/theora or some other codecs, it tells me that it needs to resize due to restrictions in codec format, I don't check then box which tells "check the box to resize" , but the resulting movie is resized which makes it ugly ...
The only way to get this fixed is by editing the theora_encoder.py file and changing 4:3 aspect to 5:4 when aspect option "2" is selected ... but this is a stupid way to solve it I think ..
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hmmm...actually there is more to this fix than just the line above, there is also a -a setting in the theora_encoder. I will have to discuss this with Marco when he returns from vacation.

You can change /usr/share/lives/plugins/encoders/multi_encoder, line 364, to:
This should remove the apsect ratio requirement for ogg theora. I've done the same in CVS, since ogg doesn't really need an aspect ratio setting.
Thanks for kind help :)..
It's live 363 you mean? which currently has the following;
specs = '|8|%s,%s,%s,%s|ogg|' % (ar, hb, vb, sr)
?
Also, why the theora encoder is not officially included with the multi_encoder like other encoders?
Hmmm...actually there is more to this fix than just the line above, there is also a -a setting in the theora_encoder. I will have to discuss this with Marco when he returns from vacation.
