| Digital camcorders have a ratio of 1.78:1 or 4:3 letterboxed as it is commonly known, Essentially letterbox means that the image is going to be wider than it is tall. With letterboxing typically you will always see these black bars at the top and bottom of your screen, so the only way to fix this is to crop the black bars off the image. |
