Hi all,

I'm hoping you can help me with this problem that I've encountered many times, and can't seem to find a solution after many hours of trying.

I'm simply trying to copy and convert a short 6 min DVD and convert into a web suitable mp4 using Roxio Creator 2010.

The DVD is a company DVD with no security/ duplication restrictions that I'm aware of.

Steps i've taken:

1. In copy & convert, select source - Movie
2. Select the DVD chapter from the file menu
3. The DVD is captured, however it is in 4:3 aspect instead of 16:9.
4. I try converting anyway into a 16:9 mp4, however the result is a distorted 4:3 with black bars filling out the 16:9 format.

I've also tried capturing in VideoWave, however the same result occurs - The video is captured as 4:3 instead of 16:9

Update 1:40pm:

Here's a screenshot of the movie properties - Interestingly it is saying the movie is 4:3. Not sure why this is, as when I veiw the DVD, it is clearly in 16:9 aspect.

Cheers,

Jon

Are you sure it is 16.9?

GSpot is a free utility that will tell you if your video is 4.3 or 16.9 current version 2.70a   http://gspot.headbands.com/

See my original post. I've updated with the Gspot screenshot.

Thanks.

720x 576 is 720x576 (DV-PAL) isn't it?

Under options in Video copy and convert are you set to NTSC or PAL?

The format is set to PAL in Options.

Here is the DVD properties when viewed in Cyberlink DVD player - It says 16:9 Aspect.
