This works like a charm… switched to .mov, it didn’t even blinked and BAM, 25 Mov files go from 4:3 to 16:9

You rule thanks a lot!

Excellent catch! I’ve updated the script to fix that. Thanks!

This error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony\Vegas Pro 8.0\Script Menu\Change pixel aspect ratio.cs(13) : ‘System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex’ does not contain a definition for ‘match’

Is caused because of a typo in the script. It should be Regex.Match, not Regex.match. It needs to be capital M.

I google work script:

/**
* This script sets the Pixel Aspect Ratio all media with a video
* stream to the desired value. The value must be edited below.
* The file extension of this file needs to be changed from .txt to .js
* and then drag it into the appropriate script folder, for example
* C:/Program Files/Sony/Vegas 7.0/Script Menu
*
* c.2006 DVFilm
*
**/
import Sony.Vegas;

// Set the following variable to the Pixel Aspect Ratio you wish to
// have all video streams use.

var targetPAR = 1.0926;

var mediaEnum = new Enumerator(Vegas.Project.MediaPool);
while (!mediaEnum.atEnd()) {
var media = mediaEnum.item();
if (media.HasVideo())
{
var videoStream = media.Streams.GetItemByMediaType(MediaType.Video, 0);
videoStream.PixelAspectRatio = targetPAR;
}
mediaEnum.moveNext();
}

You should be able to modify it to find .mp4 files instead of still images. Try changing “(jpe?g|png|gif)” to “mp4″ in the script. And Vegas 8 should do the compilation for you. You shouldn’t need to compile it yourself.

Hi Stephen

This looks exactly what I need! But I need it to change the p.a.r. on a video file.

Could it be modified to work with a .MP4 file?

See link above for more info.

Also, do I need to compile it in Visual c#??

Thanks a lot,

Sorry, Mirko, I don’t. I’m running 8 here.

Hey this sounds extremely useful, but I tried this in Vegas 6 with a bunch of photos on my timeline but it gives the following error:
Compilation errors:

‘System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex’ does not contain a definition for ‘match’
‘Sony.Vegas.Media’ does not contain a definition for ‘GetVideoStreamByIndex’

System.ApplicationException: Failed to compile.
at Sony.Vegas.CodeDomScriptManager.Compile()
at Sony.Vegas.ScriptHost.RunScript(Boolean fCompileOnly)

Do you know a quick fix? I have zero experience with scripts in Vegas…
Cheers, Mirko
