• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I am using an iMac dual core, iMovie HD (latest version) on 10.4.11, Canon Elura 100 recording in DV widescreen.

I did a dumb thing and was careless when importing the footage. The preferences were set incorrectly (and I had not yet read about possible problems with DV widescreen and not switching to Edit from Import mode). I now have a project that was shot wide but is effectively in a 4:3 format with black bars top and bottom. Then I reused the tape and have lost the source material so I can't simply re-import into a new widescreen project.

Is there any way to perhaps export then re-import into a new "DV widescreen" project in a way that eliminates the top and bottom black bars?

Thanks very much.
