Excellent - now I understand. However, on the technical front, I notice you have the same problem as me on some conversions - what started as a widescreen tv picture has ended up 4:3 on youtube. (Or is it only me that gets a 4:3 view?). What did you use for the ripping?

@ Background Noise
Once I figured out how to finalize the disc, I used HandBrake ( as recommended by Marlowe - thanks

) to rip it to MPG format & then uploaded it to YouTube which makes it an FLV file, with the result you've seen. I didn't try to alter the screen format.

@ BOAC
Thanks for the link - have just d/l'd the zip file - will give it a try

As recommended by me I think.

There are various anamorphic settings to play with.
