Afternoon All, I have a hitachi HDD video camera that can record in 4:3 or 16:9 ratios. I can attach the camera to my PC via USB and browse the files, they are .VRO file. I can copy these files to /home and they are essentially mpeg files, which is fine. When I record in 4:3 format, they come across fine, but there is a problem with 16:9 ones. The thumbnails in Nautilus are correct (i.e. widescreen) but all media players (and file properties) show the files as 4:3 ratio, which makes them look odd when being played. Any ideas on how a) I can transfer them across correctly (there is come windows-only software that comes with it - I can't get it to work in wine) and/or b) some way to convert them so they play in the correct ratio? I've tried ffmpeg with the -aspect flag set to 16:9, but it didn't make any difference.
