Elura 100 wide screen capture
I’ve been using my Elura 100 in wide screen mode. Now the video that I capture with iMovie is squashed. What to do?
Wide-screen fans will appreciate the Elura 100’s true wide-screen CCD sensor. Though it’s not high definition, it still provides a sharper 16:9 image than sensors that crop the top and bottom to achieve this wide aspect ratio. This native 16:9 support is reflected in the camcorder’s 2.7-inch, 123,000-pixel wide-screen LCD.
The movie is capture in 4:3 and I want 16:9, the conversion is 720×480 -> 720×405.
Looks like I might be able to use Final Cut Express in ‘anamorphic’ capture mode.
Yes, this works.
Now I am dropping frames during capture. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305284
