Panasonic camcorder 16:9 problem

by LucJs May 26, 2009 12:45AM PDT

I've got a 7 year old Panasonic DV camcorder. I always capture the footage to my PC hard disk for editing. I normally film in 4:3 mode, but I filmed some footage in 16:9 mode as well.

Now, this 16:9 footage is OK when watching it on the camcorder's LCD, it has black bars at the top and bottom. But when capturing it to my hard disk, a second pair of black bars is added to the image, vertically compressing the video and covering about 1/4 of the top and bottom of the screen with black bars. I've tried playing around with the camera's settings when capturing, tried 2 versions of Video Studio and 2 versions of Scenalyzer for capturing, nothing helps.

Anyone an idea?
