Actually, would it not be more accurate to call 16:9 'fullscreen'? 'Widescreen' is usually used to refer to video filmed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio meaning 2.35 inches wide for every inch vertically--2.4:1 is also common. 16:9 aspect ratio is 1.78 inches wide for every1 inch of height, or 1.78:1, and usually called 'fullscreen'.
Unfortunately a lot of people have retarded eyes and don't even notice when the picture is obviously stretched. So we end up with all these videos in wrong aspect ratio, that to me are unwatchable.
Can someone Please Help me out, I have a JVC Camcorder and on the Camcorder I have the choice to record in 4:3 or 16:9 ratio. Which should I use for recording my videos that im going to use to upload onto Youtube? Will16:9 Record Clearer Video for youtube or should I be recording on 4:3? Any Help would be greatly appreciated as I have very little experience with Recording videos.
The thing is, that many people don't even recognize that the picture is stretched or squished (for example at 0:51). They don't see, that it is taller and skinnier, than it should be. Anyone who wants to discuss this topic in more detail, please feel free to let me know!
@whiterottenrabbit Yes, that is unfortunately correct. It's quite annoying that so many people don't even see it, because to me, it's unwatchable if it's not the correct aspect ratio.
Ohh boy, am I glad to hear that! Most people either don't recognize wrong AR or (much worse) don't care about correct AR - to me, those people are as dumb as people who would like to listen to Beethoven's Fifth in telephone quality. Unfortunately, the whole AR problem is not easy to discuss let alone to solve. If you're interested in this topic, there are a couple of blogs. Simply google for "Are some people just visually dull?"; this should bring you to one of them.
Hello dear [accordvideo] the hoster of this video
I am a college student where I am assigned to create a presentation about aspect of ratio, I have to create my own video which i done but I lost it today and have no back-up therfore I am authorised from college to use video from youtube but only if you permite me to do.
Can you comment back with authorising me to use your video for educational purpose.
My final deadline is today and I have no time to create my own video
@DamageIncM Movies are different. The whole footage is filmed on a bigger negative, so they can crop it based on the size of the screen. When you switch to full-screen, instead of cropping the entire left-right, you open a little on the top and bottom to make a compromise.
While it's essentially the same amount, it's not what was intended to be seen from the original image. That extra top-bottom isn't part of the original movie, it adds nothing the the image.
The basketball image was 4:3. The video incorrectly showed to basketball image completely filling up the 16:9 TV. In real life, the would be black bars on the left and right sides of the image (pillarboxing), preserving the original 4:3 aspect ration on the 16:9 TV.
Although I prefer widescreen formats, I don't wand 4:3 to go away. The aspect ratio can help set the tone of the film. Comedy films tend to use 16:9 while more serious films tend to go with 2.35:1 or 2.40:1. As for 4:3, it does have its moments.
HAHAHA @frazzz1170 I just realised this also

Thank you for your video.
What do you think about using several aspect ratio in a film?
This idea is explained in my movie "defence of the multiscope".

Well, 4:3 or 1:33 would be fullscreen, 16:9 or 1:78 would be widescreen, then films are in a variety of widescreen formats, like 2:35 or above.

The "zooming in"-part is wrong.
When you zoom in you don't get a lower resolution image and less detail.
What you do is zoom in on the video or image digitally, which makes any detail show.
The problem is, if there's any flaw, like blocking or whatever, it will also show up then.
It's like putting your face close to a screen, you'll start to see all dots and you'll see how the image is built up.
I'm also worried about 4:3-footage being released on BD with the pillars IN the video itself...

When you showed the basketball in the 16:9 aspect ratio, it also cut off the top and bottom.
Why is that? And what makes thát the correct ratio to use?
Of course I'd like to see more left and right, it's only logical since it's a lot more natural to the human vision.
But I don't want the top and bottom to be cut off, I'd like to keep that what 4:3 still includes there.
So, what would thát become?
Like 16:10 or something like that?
And why don't they use thát then?

The top and bottom were chopped off because it was a 4:3 image being cut down to be displayed on a 16:9 TV. It was not proper widescreen.

@DamageIncM
16:10 is not the ratio it would be 8:5 if it were to be used as you cant make the numbers smaller by a common denominator
