I use a Canopus ADVC110, and capture in mpg2/720:480 with output in PowerDirector menu window set to 16:9 for playback. The clip I capture is in wide screen mode during capture, but when I play it back after capturing, it's in full screen mode. My video properties says 720:480.

I'm a new adopter of PowerProducer, after years of using Corel VideoStudio, and I just can't seem to get my output to come out the way I would like it. I would like to make DVDs, and run them on a 16:9 set through a disc player.

My machine is equipped with an i7 3770 processor 32gigs of DDR3 RAM and 4 gigs of VRAM in the Nvidia GTX960 video card, if any of that helps. I've been doing this stuff for a number of years, and know enough to find a few problems with new equipment of software, but I seem to occasionally need help solving them.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Bender,

Perhaps your fingers slipped?

You posted in PowerDVD a video PLAYER. You also referenced two different programs Power Director (a video editing program) and also PowerProducer. I think that Power Producer is obsolete because I don't see it listed on the Cyberlink site but it may still be available elsewhere. Which one do you have?

Please repost this in the applicable forum so you can get the help you need and change the title to something like "Nevermind{ or "Error Posting" if I'm correct about the program you asked about.

If the video is 4:3 and you try to play it in a wide screen project, you will end up with black bars surrounding the video image.

I've now reread your post a couple of times and each time I get a different idea about what you are asking (perhaps too much information).
