Dv Transfer Problems

[BMR]

Alright. I just recently got myself a new PC cause my old one was starting to die out and it couldn't handle any heavy duties anymore.

Anyways. I have tried to transfer some DV films I have lately filmed, in 16:9 aspect. However something is not very right and the videos come out in 4:3 even though I have settings set for 16:9. This keeps pissing me off cause I don't know what makes this. I use Pinnacle 9 card with firewire to transfer on Ulead 10. Same thing with HDV videos, I can't transfer those in real HDV mpg's as I was able with my old pc.

I start to get really irritated with this.

I had the same thing with the 16:9 - 4:3 ratio. The camcorder recorded in 4:3 but the video was 16:9. Turns out there is a recording mode and a view mode (wide selection). I guess your recording mode is 16:9 but your wide selection is still set to 4:3?

Wide selection? Never heard anything about that. You mean on the cam or the software?

I don't know why this ain't working now cause I was able to do perfectly ok transfers with old pc before it started to failure.

Try Scenalyzer. It automaticly changes to the format you filmed in when you're transfering.

It's on the camera itself I guess. But then again, if you didn't had it before and only with your new pc than that probably isn't the problem..
