It won't be square pixels here, since `.mod` files are SD format signals of certain old JVC/Canon cameras. So, either 1.092 for overscanned print or 1.06667 for full aperture.

<p>orig.mod - properties:</p>

<pre><code>Frame width 720
Frame height 576
Data rate 8900kbps
Total bitrate 9284kbps
Frame rate 25 frames/second

Audio
Bit rate 384kbps
Channels 2(stereo)
Audio sample rate 48kHz
</code></pre>

<p>I need a short clip of the above file, and tried using <code>Sony Vegas Pro 13</code> and <code>Premiere cc pr0 2015</code>. In both applications I choose to adjust resulting file to the original, especially regarding frame size and frame rate. Result is simmilar in both applications:</p>

<p>result.mpg (tried .mp4 and .wmv also)</p>

<pre><code>Frame width 720
Frame height 576
Data rate 9500kbps
Total bitrate 9724kbps
Frame rate 25 frames/second

Audio
Bit rate 224kbps
Channels 2(stereo)
Audio sample rate 48kHz
</code></pre>

<p>Main specifications are the same, but playing both file, using <code>VLC</code> and <code>WMP</code> players, what I see is - <code>result.mpg</code> is much narrower than <code>orig.mod</code>. Height is the same. That means aspect ratio is changed.<br>
Also, <code>result.mpg</code> has poor quality, comparing to original.</p>

<p>Any help.</p>
