This product keeps the original aspect ratio without an attempt to upscale. This recording device is by far the best I’ve used for composite inputs, keeping it as clean as possible on video and no popping in the audio. Also, continuous recording based on storage capacity that you plug in, no weird time limit cutting full length film in half like other products I’ve tested. While the recording is its original 4:3 you may see it stretched into a 16:9 output. Check your settings on the TV or monitor as a live view while recording will stretch, but the recorded file isn’t. Three levels of bit rate are available for composite inputs, 2,8, &12 mb/sec with a 60 frame per second selection and a 480p file. The digital recording plays smooth and appears as the original VHS playback did. I decided that the 8 mb/sec was best to preserve color as the lower bit rate shows more digital artifacts, mostly in the darker areas. 8mb/sec is higher than most standard dvd, but best for keeping quality in VHS. I can easily post process if needed for fine turning.
