2. my DV cam shoots in letterbox and anamorphic widescreen without any problem at all, as do most these days.
edit :: i got bored and decided to prove it, as i've never been arsed with anamorphic shooting before.

the image is squeezed when viewed on the 4:3 viewfinder on the camera, then on edit the image comes out in 16:9 widescreen.
hehe thanx pHO 
aside from pHo's irrefutable reply, there is the simple fact that what you said makes no sense, AgGz. you say:
quote: how could it be croped lol, i dunno about you but if no of a dv cam that records in ws can u let me no the model number of it cuz i would wanna buy it myself.
(pHo pretty much shut you up on that one.)
quote: when i said it wasn't croped i meant that when they capped it from their soucre they did put it in to vdub or tmpg and crop parts off,
i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here (so as to not leave your post making absolutely no sense whatsoever) and assume that you meant "... they *didn't* put it into vdub...".
but even so, you're missing the point. no one cares how the encoder or the rest of the group goes about making a video WS or FS, or how they manage to get it right-side up, for that matter. whether or not the release is "cropped" has nothing to do with how it's encoded, as far as the watcher goes. whether it happens because the encoder blows up the frame & cuts off the sides, or whether it happens because the person with the cam only captures the middle of the screen in the camera frame, the result is the same: the image is missing the sides, it's "cropped". as to how it got that way, that's the group's business, it might be interesting (or not) to another group or another encoder, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the finished product. by your reasoning, i could hold my cam 6 inches from the screen, and then when I release a movie consisting of one square foot of blurry vid, neatly packaged up with borders and all, you would say "no, that's not cropped, that's the whole image, it's 100% full screen, it came like that straight from the DV cam!"
quote: and as for the widescreen the only way to get a NON dvdrip to widescreen is to add borders becuz on a ts its only gunna show up as how it was shot with the cam on a dvdrip u have options when u rip it to take away the bars or leave them cuz the movie already had bars and it was taken from its digital source that was already widescreen.
without delving too deeply into that confused set of serpentine pseudologic, let me just point out that, as far as i know, there's no such thing as 'anamorphic VCD'. so, anytime one sees a vcd that is advertised as "wide screen", that means that it must have been shot from such a perspective that the entire width of the cinema's screen is visible. naturally, this will mean that there are areas above and below the video image that will need to be blocked over (so as to cover up the curtained area above the screen, or the tops of the seats below it). what it does NOT mean is that some FS version of the movie, shot with a DV cam in such a way that the center of the screen completely fills the frame, is shrunk down & has some borders added to it.
what would be the point of that? "oh, hey guys, let's release a special "internal" version, as svcd, where we shrink the image size down and replace half of it with borders... oh, and while we're at it, we can fuck up the AR and call it wide screen, too!!!" "yeah, that sounds great, ppl will really want to get ahold of that one, but just won't be l33t enough! w00t!"
no. if, as you say, there was NO cropping done in some encoding program, but the video was shot "100% full screen", with the dv cam, then there is no possible way to make a WS version of the flick. where are the extra parts of the image going to come from? and if a WS version of a flick doesn't show a greater percentage of what was shown on the cinema's screen than does the FS version, what's the point of a WS version?
or do you figure that someone from ECO went into the theatre twice, and shot 2 versions of the movie, one in '100% full screen", and one in wide screen, just so they could have a nice widescreen internal for themselves? if so, props to ECO, because that's some extreme fxn shit; they've gotta be the hardest-workin' mofos in the whole scene.
