(apologies for the stretched images -- I don't know how to resize from 16:9 anamorphic...)

I don't know how to resize from 16:9 anamorphic...

I use a program called XNView for all my image resizing, cropping, colour-correcting etc needs - can't recommend it highly enough! (especially because it's free):

http://www.xnview.com/

To "deanamorphise" captures, you can do a batch "convert" operation and add "resize" from "advanced operations". Set the scales to 133% on X and 100% on Y and make sure "Keep Aspect Ratio" is NOT checked. Set the output to JPG, set the JPG quality to whatever (I usually use 90%), tell it where to put the converted files and press "Go". It'll do the whole lot in a few seconds

Since it's a bit of a pain setting the parameters up everytime, you can save scripts with the operations you want to perform during the convert... I have scripts for, e.g.

Resize 720 x 405 - correct aspect ratio of 720x480 non-anamorphic NTSC
Resize 800 x 450 - deanamorphise NTSC, scaling down a bit
Resize 853 x 480 - deanamorphise NTSC, preserving vertical res
Resize 1024 x 576 - deanamorphise PAL, preserving vertical res

All of which also have an "autocrop" operation set up to remove black bars & borders during the conversion Means I can get captures ready for manual cropping into portrait form in just a few mouse clicks

Wow! Thanks sooooo much for that Simon!

You have no idea how much easier that program is going to make my life, both here and for my own site. Sweet!

No problem - I tried dozens of free & shareware image tools and found they were all buggy, lacking in features or hard to use (or all three!) - then I came across XNView and it did everything I wanted and more, was a joy to use and has never crashed or corrupted a file on me yet. Can't imagine not having it installed now!
