thanks very much for the links, chris!! didn't expect this would help me so quickly, but it did!! :)
That is Great Bernd!

I am glad the info that I provided was helpful for you : ) the more when I was reading about adding pillars/bars this sounded like the best option.

The Video Is Nice looking as well : )

that's what i thought too, chris...stretching the video to fill the whole frame always made the video pixelated...so, i think this is the best solution.

thanks very much again for all your links, they were indeed very helpful!! :thumbs-up:

something unreleased so far, rafal...another angle of a european show that a friend of mine sent to me to author it for him...but i'm pretty sure he will NOT keep it for himself when it's done and it will be shared!! :)
Thanks for the info Bernd! It's a great news indeed :)

i'm having videos here that were filmed in 16:9, but transferred to 4:3...which doesn't really look watchable in my eyes...unfortunately the filmer doesn't have the original cam files anymore, only those 4:3 files.

i now authored the show and created a video in 16:9...now the proportions of the band etc. look perfect...only thing is in some moments the picture looks pixelated.

anyone can suggest me what is the best thing to do with this video footage? let it in 4:3, getting a video that looks strange because of the wrong proportions or creating a 16:9 video with some pixelated moments? or is there a way to convert these files to 16:9 without losing much of the video quality of the original video files?

your help is appreciated...thank you in advance ^_^

Maybe this will solve your prob.... http://dvcreators.net/discuss/showthread.php?t=7556

I myself wouldnt change aspect unless I had masters to work with....Saves on losing quality ......IMO....

Hey Guy, he is working with the Master but the filmer filmed the show in 16x9 but sent it to the pc in 4x3 for some reason then Bernd can only work with the 4x3 but wants to make it 16x9 just letting you know he is using the Master.

A great app to use for that without any loss of quality I would use WOMBLE..... Best app around for this type of work ;)

thanks for your input, mate...the show i work on was filmed in 16:9, but the filmer transferred it in 4:3 to pc and the band is looking stretched now...so, it's not really watchable this way.

i think the solution i posted above is a good deal...the show looks watchable now and i didn't loose quality of the video :)
