THX, OK...thank you. Another misconception I apparently had was that a 4:3 widescreen transfer from the ld's wouldn't involve any "manipulation" at all by my setup...it would just "play it" like a VHS tape.


Sorry if I confused you further - your setup would indeed not manipulate it but just "play it" kind of like a VHS tape. However, a VHS tape also loses some picture information all around (right and left only for "letterboxed" a.k.a. "4:3 widescreen") on any traditional TV set. My point was that the capture framing was less important than the video image quality overall.
