[QUOTE]Originally posted by machf: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] For fuck's sake! I spent an hour doing the caps, had every conceivable wide shot or close-up of the E-E bridge, and guess what? PowerDVD goes and nicely renders the caps at some bizarre ratio that squashes everything together nicely. So, back to the drawing board. [/qb][/QUOTE]OK, I guess I know what may have happened. Your DVD is probably in widescreen anamorphic format, and your PowerDVD is configured to do captures in "Original video source size". Which isn't bad, as it preserves the resolution of the original video on the DVD (720x480, or maybe 704x480). The player (be it a standalone player or a software player on your computer) then has to properly scale the image to display it on the TV/monitor/whatever; since it's in widescreen anamorphic format, it has to be vertically compressed and the rest of the space filled with black bars (unless you have a HDTV). Don't throw them away, what you need is to resize them to 640x360 with some other program to get the proper ratio. Preferably, some program that can resample the image minimizing any nasty effects the resizing could have. [/QB][/QUOTE]
