Canon FS Widescreen

[ggggggggg]

Hello All, not sure if anyone is able to help me. But I have just revieved a nice shiney new Canon FS100.

I think I have set all the settings to allow WIdescreen/16:9, however, when I look at something on the Widescreen TV, its 4:3.

When I look within Media Player it tells me its 640x480. ANd Sony Vegas tells me its 720 x 480.

On the LCD screen on the device it shows in Widescreen all ok.

Anyone seen similar, or know how to fix it?

Thanks
Greg

I also have the same problem. The video is shot in widescreen but appears after I transferred it to my computer in a 4:3 aspect ration in Windows Media Player and in Adobe Premiere Elements.

I have been in contact with Canon Customer Support Team and they reccommended me to use VLC Media Player and then the video played alright in widescreen.... but who cares??? I want to edit the video and then burn it in a DVD to watch on my TV...

Canon gave me the advice to contact Microsoft and Adobe... fat chance that thay will listen to me....

Anybody got a solution to this problem???

If it plays OK in VLC, then it should play OK on your TV. WMP is notoriously bad.

It plays ok on my TV but not in Adobe Premiere... so I can not edit it properly...

Perhaps Adobe is not showing the anamorphic OK. That is nothing to worry about. I know it will look funny but you should be able to edit it OK.

I have worked it out. You need a program called SDCopy.
