kalani Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 When using a comcorder output disk in the 16:9 format, the capture program converts it to 4:3. Is there a place to specify that the mpeg file is to remain 16:9? When editing the video, the input file is now 4:3 and obviously the burn is also 4:3. I want to burn my DVD as 16:9 as the original was recorded. Running Creator 2009 on a new PC running Vista Thanks for any ideas. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalani Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The files on the hard disk are in the Video_TC format. When I capture these files with an older program, they are captured in the 16:9 format. When Creator 2009 captures, it converts to 4:3. I am sure that it is not a camcorder problem.

ggrussell Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 One might assume that. There are lots of camcorder on the market that do not adhere to 16:9 'standards'. JVC .MOD files is a good example. If the older app works, then use it capture. Use the captured files in Creator 2009. I can assure you that Videowave is not 'converting' the files in the video_ts folder. It uses what is there, as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalani Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Copied mini DVD files onto hard disk. Opened Roxio and started a new 16:9 production. Searched hard disk for video and found .vob files. When loading them into advanced edit they were converted into 4:3 showing on the screen with black bands on each side.

Jim_Hardin Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Then your camcorder is not properly recording the files, specifically it is not setting the 16:9 Flag. Contact the manufacture and see what they suggest. Let us know what you find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom If that is a miniDVD, from a camcorder, try just copying the files, from the disc, to your hard drive. Then open VideoWave (Edit Video-Advanced), click on File, then on New Production, and select 16:9. Then, click on Add Photo/Video, browse to the Video_TS folder, that you saved, on your hard drive, and bring in all of the .vob files. See if it shows up as 16:9.
