wedding. The recording is in 16:9 format. Now I want to capture the video with either Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 or ULead Video Studio 7 SE DVD programs in my computer. When I do the capture, the video is squeezed horizontally. I want it to be letterboxed. I have the camcorder "TV Type" set to 4:3 for playback. How can I do this? Thanks, Sam K. --

720x576 pixels. The 16:9 original picture is squeeezed into 4:3 which is what you are seeing. When you play it back on a 16:9 tv, it expands the video back to the correct shape. In order to re-shape your picture to letterbox you need an editing system eg Premiere or Vegas or Final Cut which will allow you to reshape the picture inside the 4:3 frame. Some maths will give you the sizes. "o tempora, o mores" |
