So he doesn't want it cropped, he wants it stretched to fill the width of the screen, right?

Cheap S-Video cables aren't shielded, it's just four insulated wires in a PVC jacket. Don't buy these.

There's no need for any of that. Just add Trim() to the beginning of your script, like this:

Trim(247,181663)

The two numbers are the numbers of the first and last frame to keep.

My understanding is that DVD video can be either 704 or 720 pixels across, and a DVD player uses a 720x576 frame to create an analog signal, adding 16 pixels on the sides for overscan if the source...

If you use a container format that has native support for aspect ratio settings, you shouldn't have to do any scaling at all (https://blender.stackexchange.com/a/26139).

The vertical resolution is quantized, so resizing from 576 to 540 will reduce sharpness slightly. Then to fix it you have to add sharpening, which adds halos. So it's best to avoid resizing.

I believe anything below 16 and above 235 was clipped when the videotape was made and cannot be recovered. Yes, when you expand the histogram to 0-255, the video looks nice in a way, but it's not...

I found another copy of the tape and it doesn't have the same problem. In fact, the editing is slightly different, so maybe the first tape was part of a bad batch.

The FF/REW method cannot be used on a tape rewinder because it cannot FF. So if you use that method, your options are narrowed down a little.

What's causing this capture error?

Hi, on two or three tapes, I'm getting a strange capture error. I've narrowed it down to either my VCR (Panasonic AG-1980P) or the tapes themselves, or the S-Video cable. Some scenes in the tape are...
