    Checked the resolution and its still 1080 60p like it should be but everything is squished with black bars on the side. Anyone know what keys i need to hit to get it back.

    Its not the resolution thats the problem its the aspect ratio.

    How can I losslessly change the aspect ratio of an HDV tape wrongly compressed and recorded on to a DVD in 4:3 aspect ratio to an un compressed digital version with 16:9 ratio?

    This is a question I've asked, but from many of the answers I received, perhaps I explained it too poorly for some to understand. My high definition HDV video tapes were shot in a 16:9 aspect ratio that is the norm for Sony HDV tapes.
    However the tapes were wrongly compressed to a 4:3 aspect ratio, and recorded to DVDs in that form. Therefore I can only play them on my Windows 10 PC with the incorrect 4:3 aspect ratio. The videos are distorted by being squeezed from the sides. The camera
    store that did the work can use his DVD player, and by adjustments, he can play the high definition videos in the correct 16:9 ratio on his 16:9 monitor, but by making other adjustments he also plays the DVDs in the 4:3 aspect ratio. When I gave him my HDV
    tapes to be transferred to DVDs I told him I wanted the HDV tapes transferred to DVDs so I could watch and record them on my computer for video editing just as they were shot. He said he would do that. Now he refuses to record the HDV video tapes in high definition
    correctly with 16:9 ratio onto a DVD that will play correctly on a Windows 10 PC. After he recorded my HDV tapes on his DVDs he only watched them on his DVD player and he didn't test them on a PC to be sure they played correctly with a 16:9 aspect ratio on
    a PC. There is no way I have found to play the DVDs on any PC in any form but with the compressed 4:3 aspect ratio, and I can't edit the videos in that compressed form. My high definition HDV tapes were shot in the 16:9 aspect ratio that is normal for that
    Sony HDV camera. However the camera store wrongly compressed them to a 4:3 aspect ratio and also wrongly recorded them on DVDs in a 4:3 aspect ratio that only plays that way on a PC. I have tried several Windows 10 DVD players from the Microsoft Store, plus
    VLC with all playing the videos the same way. Do you know of a way I can easily and losslessly convert these video DVDs to a digital form with the correct 16:9 aspect ratio? I don't want to lose the high definition of the original HDV tapes and I don't want
    the final videos distorted by programs that convert 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio by blocking out or removing any of the video captured by my HDV tapes. If you know of a solution other than having them properly recorded on new DVDs I would like to know. Thank you
