Hi, am using Windows MM for the first time, attempting to capture video from
my Sony DV which I recorded in widescreen 16:9 format. I cannot see how to
get MM to recognise this, it's stretching all my video into 4:3 (I think!)
and everything looks awful. Can anyone advise?

My main goal at this point is to capture some still images from the video. I
later want to write the video to DVD in widescreen format. Would I be better
off using another package?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
