16:9 bug

Hi

It seems that there is a bug in VS9. If you import a 16:9 DVD with the project set to 16:9 - VS9 seems to import the video at 4:3.

I have spokent to tech support (at a cost of £4.50) and they are looking into it. I will keep you all posted.

Right, I have done loads of tests on this and spent hours on it. My initial problem is that the VOB files generated by my Sony camcorder were being imprted into VS9 as 4:3 and not 16:9 (as recorded)

I have found that even some shop brought wide screen (16:9) DVD's are also imported by VS9 as 4:3.

Importing incorrectly means that the final 16:9 output movie is squashed and has black borders left and right as well as top and bottom. A widescreen movie should only have black borders top and bottom.

I am sure that the problem is a bug in VS9. It seems to make a mistake on some DVD VOB files and does not detect the correct aspect ratio in the attributes.

I can also confirm that Nero Vision Express 2 also makes the same error on the same films. However, I have just installed Nero Vision Express 3 and the problem is fixed. Now, all my 16:9 camcorder video VOB files are imported as widescreen (using Nero Vision Express 3).

I like Ulead so I hope this issue gets resolved.

Hello,
This is my first post on this forum. I have experienced the exact same thing. My camcorder shoots in 16:9 but my DVD's are being brought over into VideoStudio 9 in the 4:3 format. Should I contact Ulead with this information or will this post get to them? Thanks.

I have already spoken to them. I never got much of a responce though. I use Nero now and it works a treat.
