Aspect ratio

[rwilliams4861]

I have an educational project in PowerPoint that requires I use videos clips from DVDs. When I convert the video clips I get a wide screen version. Is there any way to save/convert these video clips to regular (I think it is called 4:3) format?

Picture will look 'stretched' if you do that and you might get poor marks in your project.

Is there a way to do a screen capture for a video? When the movie is played originally on the TV the aspect ratio is fine

Please explain properly what you are trying to do.

Do DVD caps? Or convert the DVD to DivX/XviD? Why can't you use the WS version? Why do you want to convert them to 4:3?

I am using DVD shrink and then converting the files to mpeg from vob using YASA. The reason I want 4:3 rather than wide screen is that the 4:3 is much easier to see when projected via powerpoint
