River Past Video Perspective

Publisher's Description

From River Past:

Ever went to an electronic store and saw a video playing on a wide HDTV and everyone in the video look extra fat? Aspect ratio is not well understood, even by the people who deal with them everyday.

Simply put, most video designed for TV have a "normal", or 4x3, aspect ratio. Newer "wide" TV has a 16x9 aspect ratio. If you play a "normal" video on a "wide" screen without adjusting, everything will look fat. If you play a "wide" video on a "normal" screen, everything will look skinny.

This becomes a problem when you want to transfer a video from one aspect ratio to another. For example, you found there is a nice option to record at 16x9 on your DV camcorder, and it makes the recording look professional. However, now you want to burn it to a DVD and the DVD authoring software only output to 4x3.

Use River Past Video Perspective to adjust the aspect ratio. You can use "Pan and Scan", which chops off the sides of the wide video to make it fit in a normal screen, or use "Letterbox", which adds black strips.

    "Bad software - no support"

    September 11, 2011  |   By jplong42

    Version: River Past Video Perspective 7.8

    Pros

    Rapid billing

    Cons

    doesn't work.

    Summary

    I recently purchased software from River Past and installed it.
    It didn't work so I wrote to their support address, TWICE and
    got no reply or even an acknowledgment. Then I wrote to their
    customer service folks, THREE TIMES. Again, no reply or even
    acknowledgment. Their site has a link to a page where one can
    request a refund. This link leads to a "server error". I would
    definitely advise against buying software from them.
