16:9 and VideoWave Problems with Widescreen

I have been reading the forum messages regarding Widescreen and have tried as many of the solutions as I can find without success.

I am using a Sony DCR-DVD755 camera recoding 16:9. I have copied the DVD files to the PC hard drive, selected directly from VideoWave using the 16:9 option without success. I have also tried converting to various Formats using the Disc Copier, again without success. All get in VideoWave is a vertically stretched out image.

The other probelem I have had is with MY DVD (all I have tried) the image quality is vastly degraded in comparison to the actual DVD from the Camera.

I am unable to capture directly from the camera as the only connectivity is USB so all i have to work with as far as I can tell is the mini DVD.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

If you are referring to the 'preview', it is a low resolution representation so the preview can be in real time. Even the fastest CPU on the market today wouldn't be able to render a full resolution preview in real time.

Make sure your miniDVDs are finalized. Insert into your computer drive and use Windows Explorer to just copy the VOB files to the computer's hard drive. You should be able to use those in Videowave/MyDVD. Make sure the Videowave/MyDVD project is set to 16:9.

If that doesn't work, then there may not be a simple solution.

Thanks for the reply I will give that a go. Trying a few other suggestions as well.

Is there a trick to capture/importing via video wave? All I get is my TV card to import from?

Again,
Much appreciated.

You are not capturing from tha mini-disc. You copy the files from that disc, to your hard drive. No need to capture at all, in version 9.

Technically, you could capture from a disc. It MUST BE finalized. Insert it into the computer DVD player/burner, then run Media Import (Videowave capture). Click Video Tab and it will show as the drive.

But like I wrote before and Bruce stated, this is really not necessary. Just copy the VOB files to your hard drive and Videowave/MyDVD use those.
