Why do people stretch out ds/3ds videos ?

If you are making videos for the love of everything please do not stretch out the videos. Not only does it look ugly ( even in full hd) You get quality drop due to the original resolution being stretched. I just don't see the point in doing so.

I have been watching test videos and notice a couple of people that stretch out the video and this being the result Even if you just capture the top screen it will still drop in quality.

THANK YOU. Finally someone who agrees with me. Although, I don't restrict it to DS/3DS games, I don't even stretch console videos from their correct aspect ratio.

Yeah, when I edit mine; I ALWAYS leave keep Aspect Ratio on in Vegas.

I would prefer vertical video to this...

Oh my goodness....that's the absolute WORST kind of stretching I've seen on a DS video. I normally do this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBG3zpae-Bo

But that....actually there other videos where people just stretch one part of the screen to take up the entire YouTube video, it's kind of bad.

Yeah, the triple screen layout is cool. My personal preference is having the most significant screen in the main view to the left, and having the other one offset in the bottom-right.

I'm assuming that people who make videos with the stretching like the one from the first post are mostly just people who get into the whole Sony Vegas thing, and go a bit overboard with the editing and effects to effectively make the videos worse than something like Windows Movie Maker.

Even Googling "Sonic Rush Background" brings up the background used for that video.

I'm working on my layout as of late, and I'm trying to decide on backgrounds and such. Anyone have any examples of good ones?

It really depends on the game, screen layout style, and other things.

I made this generic blank double screen layout a long time ago in Photoshop but never ended up using it. You can use it if you want to. It isn't full HD size because the website I had it hosted on compressed it, but it's resizable.

(Edit: Forgot to mention it's for DS

Here is one I made and use when I stream that you can put on top of a background and use as a guide.

Speaking of stretching...

As for the audio, everyone has a different line-in so mine won't be the same as yours most likely. But in case it is, how I fixed mine was by going under "Enhancements" under properties and unchecking everything. Then, under Levels, I made sure microphone boost was at 0 decibels. If you have those options, or similar options on yours, try them out.

I no longer use line-in anymore though since my computer only has a mono jack.
