Question / Help Solved: Stretch to 16:9 option for Video Capture Device?

My capture card doesn't have a widescreen option and some of my N64 and Gamecube games support widescreen so I'd like to stretch the video stream to widescreen for those particular games.

I have the same OBS problem with the Elgato HD Game Capture when hooking up the original Wii. I found a cumbersome way to circumvent it until someone else posts a legitimate solution, but I'm not sure if your device can do the same. What I do is first select a console that does have native widescreen ability, scale that to fit the screen on OBS and then I switch over to the Wii. Problem being though is that it goes back to 4:3 as soon as you want to resize the image thereafter, so your mileage may vary.

Hold SHIFT for a non aspect-locked rescale when resizing in the window. Be advised, this is NOT recommended unless you're correcting the AR for a bad input, and will look like crap if you simply stretch a 4:3 source to fill a 16:9 window (everything will look short and fat).

ALT can be used for cropping, and CTRL disables edge-snap. Woo, modifier keys!

I tried holding shift + left click and dragging it but nothing happened

Update: Worked out that I need to click edit scene.


BTW, I'm having trouble getting my capture card to pick up Component and S-Video. It's an HD AV Grabber Empia 28285 component capture card. The Honestech recording software that came with it has component and svideo buttons on the main recording screen outside of the device selection or device config windows and those work. I wonder if there's another driver I could try that enables the option in the device config or maybe an OBS plugin that adds the buttons that the bundled software uses

I can use my easycap for svideo in the meantime but I bought my new device specifically to pick up component and get better quality with svideo
