Now THAT is a clear, concise, measured response. A rarity here sometimes, but most welcomed. Do you "shrink" the visual footprint to prevent loss of picure due to TV overscan? Not sure if that is an issue with a mere file, I will see shortly and report back. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

I use the CLPV system to convert the 4:3 to 16:9. I learned about CLPV after asking how they got episodes of the old 1960s TV sit-com "I Dream Of Jeannie" into wide-screen without all the actors looking like they've raided the refridgerator! I was so impressed because I knew that the show was shot in 4:3 and the first season was even in monochrome. When a poster answered my query and told me about CLPV I decided to try it...... YEAH! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! This'll breathe new life into that old VHS stuff! I reprocessed several old 4:3 vids I'd shot of Steamfest and Richmond Vale Railway Museum from over 20 years ago and uploaded them to YouTube under my Trams & Trains heading. Here's the link to one of them:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIgEiY_4TwA The title of the video is SMR Loco #24 At Pelaw Main. December, 1996. It was originally shot on a Video-8 cam-corder in 4:3 aspect ratio and serves as a great example to answer your question, Barry!

On the other hand, you could just have typed "C". HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)

Sometimes A, Sometimes C.

I do VHS to DVD capture on a VHS/DVD recorder. Most of them are 4:3 with sidebars Then some of the VHS tapes are 16:9. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Some of these tapes were previously "copied" from film. I am going to keep the 4:3 aspect no matter what, due to the historic nature of a few of these. I am well familiar with CLPV, it's a handy tool for some applications, this time, no. I am thinking I could easily provide the client with both, even on a DL disc, let them decide. 4:3 with bars, or 4:3 within the blurred 16:9 (or CLPV!). Hmmm, just thinking out loud.
