When was there ever any politeness to begin with from other individuals? I'll man up and agree that I wasn't the nicest and I can admit to my faults. Other people have no admitted to their cockiness and douchey approach. That Cornucopus guy is snarky AF and comes off as someone I despise. There's nothing more that pisses me off than someone that's cocky. I'm trying to ask questions and the worst approach is to slide in douchey passive comments that im.a dumbass. There's a difference in providing an answer and being like "hey I'm so right you're such an ignorant ****, what a loser he doesn't know anything so pathetic" kind of attitude. There are several people on here not man enough to admit it because they know it's right

Everything can be searched, but often questions remain. You said you worked in IT. Do you have a knowledge base / wiki at your work like Confluence? I actually like a wiki more than a forum.
To resolve issues that have remained unresolved after doing the homework. Also to bicker
-
I'll say it again, then what the hell is this forum even for and why does it exist if everything can be researched? There is a knowledge base of everything. This entire forum and digitalfaq.com should not exist anymore if we need to spend numerous amount of hours trying to find something and make it even harder for ourselves. What is the point of the IT industry even existing if all people need to do is "Google" everything? Do you think its the right approach to just tell someone asking questions and better their understanding "Just Google it" and look it up? If thats what you believe then no help should ever be given to anyone. I don't know everything and I'll admit that I need to look things up but if I need more clarification then I will ask others, but I do not whatsoever appreciate people playing me out as a dumbass and that i'm some kind of inferior human being asking questions like others have stated. There is one person that should never work in IT or anywhere and thats someone thats cocky and think they know everything. I might know certain things but i'm also open to admit that it might not be right and that someone can correct me. The "I'm always Mr. Right" attitude is a massive turn off to anyone.

CyberDragon33, you should stop your criticism abot the forum and its (nice) members.
Skiller is rigth: you are just trolling or acting like that, with 3 big non-sense/bullshit (3:2 DAR, DVD capture better than lossless capture, Topaz VEAI better than AviSynth/VapourSynth).
You have been corrected by valuable members (dellsam34, Sharc, jagabo, Cornucopia, _AI_), and you replied that they were wrong and you were rigth.
So stop your non-sense now, you deserve no additional effort.

Fully agree. Too many "entitled prick" attitude brought by Gen Z on modern forums. Didn't see this 10 years ago. Boomers had better standards. and better upbringing.
And too lax rules for ghosting, another modern cancer. Time to give bans to people who don't thank contributors.

FWIW. I ran the sample through my black bars removal util, (other thread that inspired it) just to see what came out the other end.
Cropped ...
SAR/PAR 1:1
624:464. 1.34482. Basically 4:3 DAR
Played result on modern 16:9 TV, looks fine. Black bars both sides, as expected. None on top and bottom. Similar for original.
------------------------------------------
Original ...
SAR/PAR 1:1
720:480. 1.5. 3:2 DAR.
So perhaps this answers your original question. Probably best to do nothing, leave as is since the cropped 4:3 and 3:2 both display ok.
I have a question regarding 720 x 480 aspect ratio. I understand that this aspect ratio is a 3:2 aspect ratio. My question is that should 720 x 480 be left as a 3:2 aspect ratio or should it be changed to a 4:3 aspect ratio? If its left as a 3:2 aspect ratio how would it look on 16:9 displays compared to it being 4:3 aspect ratio?Last edited by JN-; 12th Mar 2024 at 07:17.

1. I've never said that dvd capture is better than lossless capture but it's sure as hell better than the capture newer cards like elgato are. I specifically stated the usb devices mostly before 2010 are the best.
2. I never said topaz is better than avisynth/vaporsynth. It is great for upscaling and denoise. Avisynth and vaporsynth are good for other things.
3. I don't find cockniess or the need to shame others for their lack of understanding nice whatsoever. You're added to that list
4. I never said those users are wrong I said their attitude about the way they present information or other comments is wrong.

There needs to be a touch of humbleness from contributors on here and better mannerism. This forum should be treated as if it were customer service and the ones who provide the help lack certain soft and social skills to address certain things. It's blatantly obvious the behavior people on here possess vs a typical customer service or IT help desk scenario. Not from the customer needing help but the person providing it. It's practically the same thing. If you can't stand certain people then you're in for a brutal awakening in the real world. Any advice offered is valid and fine, the attitude and way its presented or other comments from contributors needs to change. If someone doesn't know something then correct them but don't be an ******* about it like Lollo saying people don't deserve answers and other BS. There are many though that don't have this kind of attitude so that's good.

That doesn't matter simply being a humble human being with no cockiness is important regardless no matter where you are or what you say
, you're not the first to have been "surprised" by the sometimes brutal responses to obviously innocent posters. And amoung a few here there is definitely a "My way or the highway" mentality.
Probably enough has been said about that now; back to the original issue, are you happy with the answers ie Leave as-is and accept the burned-in black side bars. It will display correctly on a 16:9 screen provided you don't stretch it ie on an LG TV, leave the aspect ratio on "Original". The problem with the burned in bars is they will, on a 4:3 screen (ipad or phone in portrait), make the actual video area narrower (but still in proportion).

No, He was told he was wrong numerous times with evidence and we tried to reason with him but he kept doubling down, Why members have to put up with this? Normally members like these get banned quickly. These type of threads don't benefit anyone reading them later, it's even confusing for a lot of newbies reading them because the person asking the question defies the diagnosis of the problem. It's like having an illness and you disagree with all the doctors' opinions that you visited.

Good one.

Alwyn - please, get real,
I quote Corncopia, first response, btw. he is the Dude who warns about this 3:2 issue nonstop, then he writes this, again first input of his in that thread:
See what I mean about SAR (storage AR) effing people up? This person knows just enough to get themselves into trouble, but not enough to get themselves out, nor know how/why they got there in the first place.
O vainglorious one, if you truly know that these are 3:2, please do show us where in the file(s) that ratio is stored/encoded?
