Neat synch.

But don't you think it would look better if the vid remains 16:9 rather than 4:3 stretched/cropped? Because mine is also widescreen and I prefer to keep it that way.

What about those with 4:3?

Would be nice if all of you post your resolution and add a screenshot if possible.

I cropped mine and it looked, well, not too bad. I'll post my draft here in a few days.

In VirtualDub filters...
Add null transform
Click on Cropping
If your video is 640x480, Enter the value of 60 in both Y1 & Y2 offsets. Otherwise use this formula:

Crop value = [ y - ( x / 16 * 9 ) ] / 2
where
x is your 4:3 video width
y is video height

Isn't that going to cut from the picture instead of making it norrow?
Either way we need to know the resolutions of all the parts and see if most of them use 16:9 or 4:3.
If most of them use 4:3 we'll decide to use 4:3 if 16:9 then we'll use 16:9.

Stretching the image would sometimes make it look worse than crop. But I think that depends on what's on the clip.

Here's a screengrab:

Top-left: original pic.
Top-right: Stretched. You still get a full view but the moon is just ugly. It looks worse when you view it fullscreen.
Bottom: Cropped pic. Now it's a bit close-up and too far on the right, but a little panning will fix it.

There.

Cant you just add something to the avs script instead of screwing around in vdub (a program which i have only used to convert avs to avi)??

Syntax -- Crop(left, top, -right, -bottom)

eg. Crop(0, 60, 0, -60)
Depends on video resolution. Use the formula.
