Hi, During the Renaissance, the perfect frame must had a dimension of 4 unity long and 3 height. In a 640 x 480 you got that ratio (160×4)(160×3). So we say that the aspect ratio is perfect or have a value of one. In a 320×200 the aspect ratio is not 1. To have a ratio of one the height must be at 240 instead of 200. To find the aspect ratio of a non classical frame : (320×200)the irregular / (320×240)the classical = .833333. Have a good day, Pierre
