There's nothing wrong with that image, and if the video it was taken from is burned to DVD, it should play back properly. The black bars on the left and right are part of the actual signal, as...

Yeah, the input to USA 3 looks best. If I'm reading that schematic right, the video chip generates PAL-voltage signals no matter what, then the US system sends the signal through a resistor to drop...

I'm surprised noone else has said this, but I'm guessing that your problem is that the ZX81 outputs a noninterlaced signal, which your capture device must not like. Do you have any other older 8- or...

That's exactly what you want. All you need to do is make sure that it's burnt as 16:9 and not 4:3 video, then players will do the necessary resizing to preserve the aspect ratio. How are you burning...

Yeah, I have Charter's DVR and I quite regularly cap video from it. I don't like the Copy to VCR function, however, as you can only play it back in real-time (meaning you can't skip commercials to...

If you're using CBR, then min/avg/max bitrate doesn't apply and the entire video will use a more or less uniform bitrate (although there is some deviation, it is negligible in most cases). In this...

I disagree with that, as when you capture at 720 pixels wide, you're capturing more of the analog signal output by the VCR. 352 wide may give acceptable results or it may not, depending on the...

I second the recommendation for a lossless codec such as Huffyuv. Unless your XviDs have 480 or 576 lines (depending on whether you're NTSC or PAL), you will get suboptimal output if you transcode to...

There's no need to extract the video to an MPG container - DGIndex will happily parse video that is still stored in VOBs. It might be a little more complicated if you want to keep all the menus...

Well, yeah, but the video went through the codec while being written to tape, and also for cameras with analog passthrough.

That sounds like hard telecining (i.e., the telecine was done prior to MPEG-2 encoding and thus the MPEG-2 stream is pure interlaced NTSC, without pulldown flags). You'll need to IVTC that in order...

Well, there is no horizontal resolution per se, since it's an analog output, but as I have an 8000 (SD version), I do know that it digitizes analog channels at 640x480, while the digital channels are...

If you had to upsize it to correct the aspect ratio, then it's not "enhanced widescreen" - in other words, it's hard-letterboxed inside a 4:3 frame. Thus, the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) of the source...

No, interlacing issue. Read below.


No, improper resizing for the screenshot. If you'll notice, it's 831x593 here, and so interlacing is distorted. This is why the mice teeth look uneven.

The movie is 2.35:1, a wider aspect ratio than 16:9, so it is anamorphic and letterboxed. The video as encoded is truly 16:9, as the black bars are there to fill out to 480 lines - that's why the...

Yes, it should work with no problems. I'm not sure how easy it would be to get the raw digital audio, but you should still get acceptable quality before encoding if you sample the analog audio output.
