Pioneer DVR 420H Widescreen Problem

[joeblackie]

Hi Folks,

I just wondered if anyone could help me solve this problem:

I have recorded footage on my JVC GZ-HD7 Camcorder and I'm copying it to my DVD Recorder (Standalone, nothing to do with PCs etc.). When I copy the footage, it appears full screen (4:3) on the TV, but when I play it back or burn it to a DVD it's in widescreen format.

Is this because of the camcorder or the DVD recorder? Is there a solution?

I have the output of the camcorder set to 4:3 and the input of the DVD recorder set to 4:3.

Kind Regards,

Joe

Are you using the analogue or DV inputs ?
Was the original shot in 4:3 or 16:9 ?
If you open the VOBs in g-spot, what aspect ratio do they have ?
