CarGuy1, Why are your Dreams - and so many others - in such an odd resolution? Wouldn't it be better to have them at 1920x1200? It's only an extra 14% area... Why you'd make us HD users put up with stretching is beyond me. I mean, I love your dreams, but I hardly ever download them because they stretch... It's quite annoying. Really what's the point - NOBODY's sreen is at 1792x1120, so if you're not going to set them at 1920x1200, then get rid of the extra pixels and go down to 1680x1050... I'm sure there's a logical explanation to the silliness.... Someone educate me.

The problem is there is not an encoder available that allows those resolutions in MPEG format. I could do those resolutions in WMV but the dream would use far too much CPU to make it practical.
Most widescreen monitors are 16:10 ratio and the most popular size is 22" which the default resolution is 1680x1050.
1920x1200, 1792x1120, & 1680x1050 are all 16:10 resolutions.
TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress, the best encoder available, will allow 1792x1120 but not the other two. This being the case, I would much rather encode at 1792x1120 and maintain the 16:10 ratio, so the dream doesn't look deformed, while maintaining the highest practical resolution possible.
I have yet to see a 1920x1200 dream that is MPEG and I refuse to make a dream that uses too much resources to make it practical to run, which ends up being the case with WMV.
When I find an encoder as good as TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress that allows me to create a mpeg at 1920x1200, I will look into purchasing it.
I hope this betters your understanding as to why the somewhat strange resolution that most dream creators use.

I am a 1920x1200 gal and LOVE your dreams...but, they always have to stretch and it just degrades the quality. Would you consider doing a few in a 1920x1200?

Thanks. I knew there would be some logical explanation.

Wait a second. Ryan Bliss from Digital Blasphemy - creator of some of the most beautiful artificial wallpapers ever (IMO) - has a few DreamScenes encoded in MPEG. And the resolution is 1920x1080. And my CPU usage is at most 5% higher when using his animated wallpapers (as compared to yours). Why don't you ask him what he uses?

Love, love, love this! Mountains and fog - can't rave enough about it. Thank you so much for this, and especially for the previews! I like to see what they look like before I download the dreams, so thanks for this as well. Keep doing the great stuff!!
