<p class=MsoNormal>Hi. Anyone have a user job that crops an HD OTA
broadcast of a 4:3 program such that the black bars on the left and right are
trimmed off? The problem I’m encountering is that when I make a DVD to
show on my 4:3 TV, the 4:3 image is “letter boxed” and then is “shrunken” with
black bars on top, bottom, left, and right of the program. Turns a 35” TV
into a 19” TV quite nicely, but that’s not good to impress the family, if you
know what I mean.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m thinking a mencoder, transcode, or nuvexport user job
(or other?) that I can set up after I remove commercials would be nice to
start. Any help would be appreciated. (I’ve been searching the web
for such a job, and just when some threads about get there, they end.
I’ve played with --crop, but I’m obviously missing something to get things to
work right).<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
