Hello, I just started using OBS last night, works great except what I'm transferring are VHS tapes from the 90's. As far as I can tell you can't change the 16X9 aspect ratio set up in the program. Or can you? Back in the 90's everything was still in 4:3. Everything seems to be stretched to fill the screen. I'd rather not have my image distorted. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hey, bro. You can go to Settings>> Video, and change the resolution. :-)
Sorry I didn't respond right away. I wasn't home till late. When I get back I'll try to do that. Thanks!
I have the exact same problem as Bigley. I get the correct aspect ratio when I use my hardware on VLC media player. VLC is tough to use, however, since it only saves files in .AVI format and for one VHS tape that equals about 350 gig of hard drive space. I suppose I could convert the giant file to MP4 with other software, but I'd rather avoid that inconvenience by using OBS.
When I look under View>>Multi View (Fullscreen) there is only one option for an aspect ratio., ie. (1):1280x1024@0,0. Changing the resolution doesn't change this but only crops the VHS image into that size box. Since I am not going to upload these VHS files to any website, I don't want to crop the image. Since the lone full screen ratio is labeled "(1)" I am wondering if their once was a choice in earlier versions of OBS that have since been removed from the list, ie. (2), (3), (4), etc . Since all earlier versions of OBS are still available on the download web page, I was wondering if anyone remembers the earlier version that may have contained the 4:3 aspect ratio so I can use that version?

Thank you it worked!
