Its probably just my setup! You may need to play around with the crop 
and scale stuff. Only just getting to grips with that. I was trying to 
remove borders on films. There is some useful stuff on mencoder on the

using ffmpeg and a Hauppage tv card tuned to the VCR. Worked quite well 
and I'm sure it was easier to use :/
