IMGBURN Build distorting image

[nelsh]

Of course, its user error. But, which one?

 

I'm so old and simple minded, I shouldn't be allowed a computer.

But, I've got one. And, a problem I can't unravel.

A captured video plays back just fine on my TV when burned as a VIDEO_TS file.

 

4:3 VIDEO_TS file

 

 

After being built into an image file (.iso), the picture is distorted.

 

ISO distortion

 

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

This is an issue with your source files, burning them to disc (or bundling them up in an ISO) doesn't change them.

 

Assuming both of those pictures are actual photos of your tv screen, it just looks like you need to switch it back to 4:3 mode. There's probably a button on the remote for that.

 

At the moment it's looks like it's displaying in Widescreen format.

 

To be honest, the whole thing looks weird. You've got a wide picture put into letterboxed 4:3, then displayed in Widescreen again. You'd obviously be better off missing out the 'letterboxed 4:3' stage. Double check the settings in your capture program / VIDEO_TS authoring program.

 

btw, you're using an old version of ImgBurn, you should update.

This is why I'm so baffled.

Both of these photographs are vlc snapshots taken on my computer. Of the same scene. The differences is the first is from the VIDEO_TS before being run through IMG. The second image is captured from VLC playing back the IMG image file created from that same VIDEO_TS.

 

I will update, and likely that will fix it. Something in IMG is creating the problem. These are before and after pictures.

Honest, it's nothing to do with ImgBurn.

 

If VLC picks the wrong aspect ratio then that's its problem.

 

ISO files aren't meant to be played. Mount the ISO in a virtual drive program and then play from the virtual drive.

 

Don't play the raw VOB files, always load the VIDEO_TS.IFO if you can't load/pick the drive as a whole

 

You should also look at playback with something like 'Media Player Classic - Home Cinema'. VLC isn't perfect.
